Why forms reject small photos
Exam and job portals such as SSC, IBPS and state PSCs often ask for a photo between 20KB and 50KB, and a signature between 10KB and 20KB. A cropped phone photo can easily come out at 8KB, and the form refuses it.
108pdf raises the JPG quality to the maximum first, then fills the rest with JPEG comment data, a standard part of the file that viewers and portals ignore. Your photo looks exactly the same and the file lands on the exact size, to the byte.
When to enlarge the dimensions
Most portals only check the file size. If a form also asks for a minimum width and height in pixels, turn on "Also enlarge dimensions" so real pixels are added as well.
