Image file format validation

Purpose

1.1. Automate image file format validation to ensure all uploaded passport photo files comply with required formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP) and technical standards for government or agency submission.
1.2. Prevent non-compliant submittals, reducing manual review workload, increasing throughput, and boosting the accuracy of passport photo processing workflows through automated, reliable file type checks.
1.3. Streamline the intake, validation, and pre-processing of client-submitted images by automating file checks and triggering compliance-related actions automatically.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automated initiation upon file upload to a web portal, cloud storage, email attachment receipt, or API endpoint, automatically verifying format compliance for each new file.
2.2. Batch automation via scheduled checks in directories containing fresh uploads, automating compliance review in real time or at preset intervals.
