🇮🇳 Why Indian Portals Reject Your iPhone Photos
Portals like Passport Seva, OCI (Overseas Citizenship of India), and the Indian e-Visa system were designed for standard JPEG files. They often have very low file size limits (usually under 240KB or even 100KB). iPhones save photos as HEIC, which these systems cannot process, resulting in the 'Invalid File' error.
