Passport and visa photos, measured against the official rules.
Pick your document and add a photo. Your browser measures head size, background, light and focus against the government's own spec, then shows the exact crop. Checking is free and the photo never leaves your device.
The finished file and a 4 × 6 in print sheet cost US$8.99 (charged as KES 1,170). Rejected? Free redo or refund.

How it works
Take the photo
Stand in front of a plain light wall, face the camera, keep your mouth closed. Ask someone else to take it at arm's length or more.
Check it here
Pick the document and add the photo. Face landmarks and the background mask are computed in your browser.
Fix what failed
Each failed check says what to change. Retake the photo until every line passes.
Get the file
Order the full-resolution file and, for printed documents, a 4 × 6 in sheet to print at any photo counter.
For documents where only an approved photographer or the agency's own app may take the photo, we check it but don't sell a file.
Why we never change your background
Most passport offices refuse photos that were edited by software. The US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, China and the Netherlands say so on their photo pages. We crop, straighten and resize your photo. We do not smooth skin, remove shadows or paint in a new background.
Every spec we hold
Read from each government's own page. Each row links to its source and the date we checked it.
