Can I edit the photo?

HM Passport Office (GOV.UK) says: "Your photo must be … unaltered by computer software." GOV.UK also says not to crop a photo taken on your own device: it will be done for you. So this page does not change your photo at all; it checks the file against the rules before you upload it.

What does the checker look at?

The real file type (from its first bytes, not its name), the file size and the pixel dimensions, each marked pass or fail with the measured number. It cannot judge your expression, lighting or background; follow the rules above for those.
