Submission rejection guides
How to Fix a Recruitment Portal Photo Rejected ErrorWhy recruitment portals reject photos and how to isolate dimensions, format and KB limits.How to Fix a School Application Photo Too Large ErrorResize the pixels first, then meet the actual file-size ceiling without repeatedly recompressing.How to Fix a Certificate Upload Too Large ErrorKeep certificate text readable while matching an image upload ceiling.Why Was My Seller Main Image Rejected?Separate background, aspect ratio, dimensions and file-size problems instead of guessing.How to Fix a Profile Photo or Banner Rejected ErrorProfile photos and banners fail for different geometry rules; generate separate assets from the original.
Invalid field and upload error guides
How to Fix an “Aspect Ratio Invalid” Image ErrorAspect-ratio errors are geometry problems, not compression problems. Match the required shape first, then handle file size.How to Fix an “Image File Type Not Supported” ErrorConvert unsupported HEIC, AVIF, WebP or PNG files to the format the receiving form actually accepts.How to Fix a “Minimum Dimensions Not Met” Photo ErrorMinimum-pixel errors require more pixel dimensions; lowering JPEG quality cannot solve them.How to Fix a Product Image Background Rejected ErrorSeparate background rules from dimensions and file-size rules, then generate a clean white-background output when required.How to Fix a Document Upload File Size Exceeded ErrorReduce the actual image payload while keeping document text readable and dimensions appropriate.
Exact field value error guides
How to Fix “Aspect Ratio Must Be 1:1”A 1:1 requirement is a shape constraint. Crop or pad to a square first, then handle format and file size separately.How to Fix “Minimum Width 600px”A minimum-width error means the submitted image does not contain enough horizontal pixels.How to Fix “File Type Must Be JPG”Convert unsupported PNG, HEIC, WebP or AVIF input to JPG without confusing format conversion with compression.How to Fix “Background Must Be White”A white-background rule is a content constraint, not just a file-format rule. Remove or replace the background before export.How to Fix “File Size Must Be 20 KB to 50 KB”Range-based upload rules have both a minimum and a maximum. Compressing below the minimum can still fail validation.
