Always confirm against the current NICL notice (Assistant / AO / Specialist Officer) — limits can differ by year. PhotoResizer supports any custom KB and pixel size.

Common reasons NICL uploads get rejected

A photo over the KB limit, a signature that’s too faint, a coloured background, or a photo cropped too tight around the face. PhotoResizer fixes the file size and aspect ratio in one step so the portal accepts it.
