Will my passport photo be accepted by the government?

Our AI validates against the official specifications published by each government. If the tool approves your photo, it meets the technical requirements. However, final acceptance is always at the discretion of the issuing authority. We offer a compliance guarantee — if your photo is rejected for technical reasons, contact us for a full refund.

Can I use a selfie for my passport photo?

Yes, if the selfie is front-facing, well-lit, and shows both ears. The AI will crop and adjust it to meet passport requirements. For best results, take the selfie in front of a plain wall with natural light facing you.

What background color do I need?

It varies by country. US passports require white, UK passports require light gray, and some countries accept light blue. Our tool auto-selects the correct color based on your country selection — you don't need to know the rules.

How do I print the passport photo?

Download the print sheet (4×6 or A4 layout with multiple copies). Print on glossy photo paper at any drugstore, home printer, or photo kiosk. The file is already set to the correct DPI for sharp printing.
