What Makes a Valid Passport Photo?

Our tool checks and applies all of these automatically when you upload your photo.

📐

Correct Dimensions

Each country has specific size requirements. The US requires exactly 2×2 inches; the UK and EU require 35×45mm. Our tool handles all formats.

🧍

Head Size & Position

Your head must occupy 70–80% of the frame, centered, facing directly forward. Eyes must be fully open and visible.

🤍

Background Color

Most countries require a plain white or very light grey background with no shadows, patterns, or other objects visible.

😐

Neutral Expression

Mouth closed, neutral or slight natural expression. No squinting, smiling with teeth, or tilting the head.

👓

No Glasses

Since 2016, glasses are no longer permitted in US passport photos. Most other countries have adopted the same rule.

💡

Even Lighting

No shadows on your face or background. Even, diffused light from the front. Avoid harsh flash or sunlight from one side.

📅

Recent Photo

Most countries require your photo to have been taken within the past 6 months to reflect your current appearance.

🖨️

Print Quality

For printed submissions, use glossy photo paper at 300 DPI or higher. For digital submissions, upload the original file — do not screenshot or re-scan.
