Pixels, DPI, and destination rules: an ID photo checklist

When an ID photo gets rejected, the problem is not always the portrait itself. Before exporting, check:

1. Pixel dimensions: match the issuing authority's current requirement.
2. DPI: treat it as print-density metadata, not a substitute for the required pixel size.
3. Background and framing: verify color, head position, expression, shadows, and clothing rules.
4. File constraints: confirm the required format and file size.
5. Preview: inspect the result at 100% and compare it with the authority's latest instructions.

I built AI Tool Pixel to help create an ID-style photo where you can choose dimensions, DPI, and background before downloading. It does not guarantee acceptance; the issuing authority's current rules remain the source of truth.
