✅ Photo checklist to avoid rejections
• Neutral expression with your mouth closed and eyes open
• No glasses, hats, or headphones. Religious head coverings are usually fine if the face is fully visible.
• Even lighting with no shadows on the face or behind the head
• A plain white or light background
• A recent photo, usually taken within the last six months
⚠️ Common mistakes people make
• Using a beauty filter or an edited photo. Filters smooth skin and reshape faces, and offices reject them. Use an unfiltered camera photo.
• Photographing an existing printed photo. It creates glare and patterns that scanners flag.
• Standing too close to the wall, which throws a shadow behind the head. Step about half a meter away from it.
• Smiling with teeth showing. A relaxed, neutral face is what offices want.
• Hair covering the eyes or eyebrows.
• Wearing a white shirt against a white background, which makes the head look like it is floating.
• Zooming in while taking the photo. Stand further back and let this tool do the cropping, so the picture stays sharp.

Common questions

Will my passport photo definitely be accepted?
Our templates follow ICAO standards and the specifications published by each issuing authority, and the crop guides keep your head within the required size. Final acceptance always rests with the authority, so follow the photo checklist: neutral expression, even lighting, plain background, and a recent photo.
Is it really private?
Yes. Your photo is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to any server. Close the tab and it is gone. There is nothing for us to store or delete.
What paper should I print on?
4 by 6 inch photo paper, also sold as 10 by 15 cm, gives the best results and is the standard photo size worldwide. A4 and US Letter also work. Always print at 100 percent scale, never fit to page.
Can I print at a photo kiosk or print shop?
Yes. Download the sheet as a picture file and take it to any kiosk or shop. Order a standard 4 by 6 inch print, which is the same as 10 by 15 cm, and cut along the guides.
What if the application website has a file size limit?
Enter the website's pixel and kilobyte limits in the digital file options and you get a compressed file that fits, plus a full quality copy for printing so the small one never gets printed by mistake.
How many photos fit on one sheet?
It depends on the photo and paper size. For example, six to eight 35 by 45 mm photos fit on a single 4 by 6 inch sheet, and around thirty fit on A4. The preview shows the exact count before you download.
