TLDR : Answer Summary

Users are experiencing challenges scanning and uploading their passport pictures for a visa application online from the UK. Recommendations include using apps like CamScanner, resizing images to meet file size limits (under 0.5mb), and avoiding certain browsers like Firefox during the upload process. Various techniques such as taking a photo with a phone and then cropping or converting the image can help in successfully completing the application.

easiest way is

- take a pic of your passport with your phone ( will probably be more than .5mb)

-screenshot it ( the screenshot will be less than .5mb)

-crop it, save, upload , job done

thats what I did, and was accepted

good luck

I managed to upload a jpeg but had to make it low res so the file wasn’t too large. Good luck 🙂
