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.

Can I use the same photo for both my Greek ID card and passport?

Yes — both use the identical myPhoto specification (35x45mm, 300 DPI, light background), so one processed photo works for both applications.
