I added this app to my phone and resized all my documents before starting my online application. Easy to use and did the job

Scan it and use the snipping tool and make sure it is very straight

I cropped the image then WhatsApp the the image to my other WhatsApp. Then uploaded the WhatsApp image from phone photo gallery

Got the image down to 200kb

I did my previous applications this way via my mobile.

Image has to be less than 500k in size I believe. Resize the photo or scan in paint art package in windows or similar and try again.

What do you mean by "it won't do anything"?
Shaun *********
I had that problem I just used I phone and it gave me the option to resize it, it wouldn’t accept a screen shot but would accept a photo using the phone camera
Steve *********
It's probably the size? It might be too big to upload
Jared **********
does t matter, you can have a small picture that’s to big, I had to resize me 2x2
