Why Your Document Upload Was Rejected for Being Edited/Screenshot (And How to Fix It)

If your document upload was rejected for being edited or filtered, it means the system detected signs of screenshots, image enhancements, or alterations. This article explains why that happens and how to upload your documents correctly.

Why Edited, Screenshots, or Filtered Documents Are Rejected

Juicyway uses advanced identity verification systems that automatically check whether a document image is original and unchanged.

Your upload may be rejected if the system detects:

  • Screenshots instead of original photos

  • Image filters or enhancements

  • Cropping that removes important edges

  • Compression or resizing that alters image data

  • Editing apps or scanning tools that modify the image structure

Even if the document looks clear to you, these changes can trigger a rejection.


Common Actions That Cause Rejection

  • Taking a screenshot of a document instead of a camera photo

  • Using scanning apps that “enhance” images

  • Adjusting brightness, contrast, or sharpness

  • Uploading images sent through messaging apps that compress files

  • Uploading cropped images that remove document borders


How to Upload Your Document Correctly

Follow these steps to avoid another rejection:

  1. Place your document on a flat, well-lit surface

  2. Use your phone camera (not a scanner or screenshot)

  3. Capture the entire document, including all edges

  4. Avoid filters, edits, or retouching

  5. Upload the image directly from your gallery

For documents with two sides, upload both front and back.


What a Good Upload Looks Like

  • Clear and readable text

  • Natural lighting, no glare or shadows

  • Full document visible

  • Original photo taken in real time


If Your Upload Keeps Getting Rejected

  • Try using a different phone camera

  • Switch to another accepted ID/document

  • Confirm your name and date of birth match your Juicyway profile

  • Contact Juicyway Support for assistance


Why This Check Is Important

These checks protect your account and help Juicyway meet global security and compliance standards. They reduce fraud and ensure faster approvals for everyone.

If you follow the steps above, your verification should go through smoothly.
