The TEAS form scans the image file you attach in various regions to determine if it is a color or black-and-white image. If there is too much white space around the design, the form cannot find the color and views the image as black and white. To fix the problem, please crop the excess white space from the image. You can also re-size the image with a graphic view, e.g., Irfanview. All images should be scanned at no less than 300 dots per inch and no more than 350 dots per inch, and within the pixel range suggested by the USPTO, namely, a length and width of no less than 250 pixels and no more than 944 pixels; e.g., a valid pixel dimension is 640 x 480 pixels. If your cropped image is not clear, do not submit the image because it may not meet the filing-date requirement for a clear drawing. Instead, you may wish to seek the assistance of a graphic artist to create the properly sized .jpg file.
