gov.gr Photo Tool for myPhoto (ID & Passport)
The gov.gr myPhoto upload for Greek ID cards and passports is strict about DPI tagging and metadata — a photo that looks fine can still be rejected if it isn't tagged at exactly 300 DPI or still carries EXIF data. This tool handles both automatically.

Frequently asked questions
- What requirements have been checked?
- Pixels: Exactly 1280×1600; 4:5. File: JPEG; maximum 3 MB; quality 100%. Background: Grey RGB 190±10 recommended; white accepted. DPI: No mandatory DPI tag identified in the cited table
- Does a technical check guarantee acceptance?
- No. The authority checks the photograph and submission route. Missing or conflicting requirements are identified above; a passing file-size check is not a biometric certification.
- Why does gov.gr reject photos that look correct when I open them?
- myPhoto's validator checks the file's embedded DPI tag and metadata, not just its pixel dimensions. A photo resized in a generic editor often keeps its original (wrong) DPI tag or leftover EXIF data — this tool forces exactly 300 DPI and strips all metadata before export.
