How to use it
Open /verify, choose your country and document (for example US Passport or Schengen Visa), upload a JPEG or PNG, and review the scored report. Hard failures explain what to fix; soft warnings note borderline issues.
Checker vs creator
Use the checker when you already have a photo from a studio, app, or phone. Use /create when you need background replacement, re-framing, and a clean export in one flow.
Supported documents
Every document in the PicsForm requirements catalog is available in the checker — US 2×2, UK 35×45, Canada 50×70, Indian e-Visa square, UAE ICAO, and more.
