JPEG allows tunable lossy compression, making it trivial to fit a passport photo into 20–50 KB while keeping facial details legible.
Frequently Asked Questions (अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल)
Can I submit PNG if the portal says JPG?▾
No. Changing the file extension from .png to .jpg will fail because the portal validator checks the internal file header (magic bytes). Always re-encode to true JPEG.
