TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking assistance with uploading passport photos and copies of their passport for a visa application, as their documents are being rejected due to size issues. Responses suggest reducing the file size to 0.5mb or less using various methods such as compressing the files, using online tools like picresize.com, or simple image editing through applications like Paint or IrfanView. Some users shared personal experiences and methods that worked for them, including uploading to Facebook to resize the photo automatically.

I use the phone app 'Photo for Passport' available through Google Play Store. It can even change the background of your photo taken through your smartphone.

Glad you've sorted it now, mate. Just wanted to say, you were not alone! Reading your post brought back memories of when I spent two days trying to do exactly the same thing! I just downsized everything to the point of not being able to see anything and it was accepted! All the best with the rest of the process.

A number of people have said that the following works ... upload the photo to Facebook. Then save it from Facebook. Then use this resaved version. I'm told that it resizes just right.

Just trial and error on resizing via paint application on windows did it for me . A 50% reduction and then a further 20 or 30% usually did it

So annoying, when uploading the same documents for the CoE, you are given 5mb.

You need to compress each file to 0.5mb or less.
