Passport renewals
Resize to the published format, then check whether the country accepts home-prepared or edited images.
Choose a country, crop to the required size, review background and head-position warnings, then export a file or print sheet with clearer risk notes.
Check the basics, resize to the selected document size, and sign in only if you want AI background and crop cleanup.
Status labels are practical guidance, not a government approval guarantee.
Optional background, crop, and lighting cleanup. Sign-in is required because AI fixes use account credits.
Your feedback helps tune the checklist wording and warning levels.
The free tools stay available before sign-in. Paid AI cleanup is only introduced after the user has a real photo and can see the risk checklist.
Upload one clear selfie or studio photo.
Choose the passport country or size format.
Review each requirement as Passed, Warning, or Needs retake.
Export only after the risky items are resolved.
Generated examples show crop, background, and print-size intent. Replace them with real user examples after permission is collected.
Square crop, background review, and a clear warning when the original is safer than a digitally edited photo.
Portrait output with digital-file notes, because UK photos must also avoid software alteration risk.
Background and crop cleanup are treated as a paid preview step, with explicit review before official use.
Each launch country page shows dimensions, background rules, AI-edit risk, official source, and last-updated date.
Plain white or off-white background with no shadows, texture, or lines.
Plain light-coloured background with clear contrast and no shadows.
Plain white background with even lighting and no shadows.
Plain, uniform, light-coloured background with clear contrast between face and background.
Plain white or light background that contrasts with the face.
Plain white or close-to-white background, depending on the specific passport or visa route.
No background objects; white is recommended by Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Plain light grey or neutral light background with no pattern or shadow.
Plain light-coloured background such as light blue or light grey; white background is prohibited by Service-Public guidance.
Uniform, white, smooth background.
Resize to the published format, then check whether the country accepts home-prepared or edited images.
Prepare common 35 x 45 mm and 33 x 48 mm files while keeping the original photo available for manual review.
Create several paid exports from the same session when each person needs a different country or document size.
"My first US photo had a gray wall and a shadow behind my hair. The checklist made the background problem obvious before I paid for printing."
"I had a clean selfie, but the UK digital upload kept objecting to the crop. Seeing the pixel and file-size notes together saved another booth trip."
"The failure mode for me was face ratio. A pharmacy-style 2 x 2 photo looked fine but did not match the India upload shape."
"Canada's no-edit rule is easy to miss. The warning stopped me from using a smoothed portrait that would have been risky for a renewal."
"I was mixing up Spain's small 32 x 26 mm passport photo with a standard 35 x 45 mm crop. The size page caught it before my appointment."
The tool helps prepare and review photos. It does not replace the official passport office, embassy, consulate, or upload system.
No. It helps you prepare and review a photo against published requirements. The passport authority, embassy, consulate, or upload system makes the final decision.
Passport photo rules are not a single number. A photo can have the right size and still fail because of glare, background edits, head tilt, or file compression. Checklist language makes the next action clearer.
Many passport authorities restrict altered photos, and some explicitly mention AI tools or software edits. Use AI-assisted output cautiously, avoid changing the face, and retake the photo when the checklist flags identity or background risks.
The first launch covers the United States, United Kingdom, India, Canada, Australia, China, Japan, Germany, France, and Spain.
The first launch supports en-us, en-gb, en-in, es, and zh-cn content layers so the same requirements can be localized without changing the core rules.
Some countries accept certain home-printed forms, while others require professional photo paper or a studio. Always check the country-specific file and print guidance before relying on a home print.
