Sources disagree on this
preferred file size
IRCC sets a 60 kB minimum and says the final image should ideally be 240 kB, but does not state that 240 kB is a hard ceiling.
How we handle it: UploadPrep enforces the published minimum without presenting the preferred 240 kB target as a rejection threshold.
supported image format subset
IRCC accepts JPEG and JPEG2000. UploadPrep produces the widely supported JPEG option.
How we handle it: Use JPEG output.
