Why this is the “Most Advanced” Version

  1. Face Guide: When a passport size is selected, a faint dashed oval appears. The user simply moves/zooms the photo until their face fits in that oval.

  2. Rotation: Many mobile photos are slightly tilted. The rotation slider fixes this.

  3. Zoom Logic: Users can zoom into their face even if the original photo was taken from far away.

  4. Privacy: Just like the converter, this runs 100% locally. No one sees the user’s passport photo but them.

How to Create a Government-Approved Passport Photo

Follow these essential steps to ensure your photo is accepted by the US Department of State, UK HM Passport Office, or other global agencies.

1. Perfect Your Lighting and Background

  • Background: Use a plain white or off-white background with no patterns, textures, or shadows.

  • Lighting: Ensure even lighting on your face. Avoid “half-face” shadows or bright glares from windows.

  • No Shadows: Make sure there are no shadows on the background behind your head.

2. Camera Positioning and Pose

  • Eye Level: Position the camera at eye level, about 4–6 feet (1.5–2 meters) away.

  • Neutral Expression: Face the camera directly with a neutral expression or a natural smile. Both eyes must be open.

  • Head Position: Your head must be centered and square to the camera, not tilted or turned.

3. Attire and Accessories

  • Glasses: Most countries, including the US, now prohibit wearing glasses in passport photos. Remove them to avoid rejection.

  • Headwear: Hats and head coverings are only allowed for religious or medical purposes and must not obscure your hairline or cast shadows on your face.

  • Clothing: Wear everyday attire. Avoid uniforms or clothing that looks like a uniform.

4. Using Our Pro Cropper Tool

  • The Oval Guide: When you select the US or UK Passport preset in our tool, use the dashed oval guide.

  • Positioning: Use the Zoom and Drag features to fit your head within the oval.

  • Proportions: Ensure there is a small gap between the top of your hair and the top edge of the photo.

5. Printing Requirements

  • Paper Quality: If printing at home, use matte or glossy photo-quality paper.

  • Resolution: Our tool exports at high resolution; do not compress the image further before printing.
