Frequently Asked Questions (अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल)

Why did my 50 KB photo get rejected for being 50.2 KB?▾
If a portal validates that your file must be under 50,000 bytes (decimal KB) but your computer saved a file of 51,000 bytes (binary KB), the portal rejects it. Our tool accounts for this by setting safe margins.
