Tips for a Perfect Passport Photo

  • Start with a high-resolution image. The bigger the original, the better the resized result. Use your phone's highest camera setting.
  • Crop before resizing — use the Image Cropper to center your face and remove extra background first.
  • White or off-white background only. Most countries require a plain white or light-grey background.
  • Eyes open, mouth closed, neutral expression. This is the universal standard.
  • No filters, no editing. Passport offices may reject photos that have been digitally altered.
  • Check the file size. Some online applications have a file size limit (e.g., 240 KB). Use the Image Compressor to reduce file size without losing quality.
