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.

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.

Can I take a Austria passport photo at home?
Yes, as long as it meets the rules above. Take it against a plain wall in daylight, then check it here. We crop it to the exact size without editing it.

No. Most passport offices reject edited photos, so we only crop, straighten and resize.
