Passport & Visa Photo Tool

This tool produces the correct dimensions and white background for each country listed. However, acceptance also depends on factors we can’t automate — such as the quality of your original photo, lighting, expression, and whether you’re wearing glasses. Always review the compliance checklist and your government’s official photo requirements before submitting. We recommend having your photo professionally reviewed if your application is critical.

The best source photo is taken in good, even lighting against a plain light background. Face the camera directly with a neutral expression and mouth closed. Eyes should be open and clearly visible. Avoid shadows on your face or behind you. The higher the resolution of your original photo, the better the output quality will be.

Download the 4-up print sheet and take it (or upload it) to any photo printing service — CVS, Walgreens, Costco, Snapfish, or any local pharmacy or print shop. Request it to be printed as a 4×6 inch photo (also called 10×15cm). This gives you 4 identical passport photos on one sheet. Cut them out carefully with scissors along the edges.

Yes — download the single photo (not the 4-up sheet) for digital submissions on government websites. The single photo is saved at the correct pixel dimensions for the selected country. Check your government’s portal for any additional file size or format requirements — most accept JPEG files under 10MB.

Use the Custom Size option at the bottom of the country list and enter your required dimensions in millimetres. You can find your country’s official photo specifications on its embassy or government passport website. We’re continually adding new countries — feel free to contact us with a request.
