Alteration language
The page asks for a photo “saved directly from the camera without any changes” while simultaneously expecting ~240 kB output that cameras rarely produce natively.
How we handle it: UploadPrep offers resize-only preparation without retouching; shoot fresh rather than editing an existing portrait.
Target byte figure
“Approximately 240 kB” is stated as guidance with a hard 4 MB maximum and no published floor.
How we handle it: UploadPrep targets the approximate 240 kB figure and never exceeds the hard 4 MB ceiling.
