Visa photo maker
Visa photo rules differ by country more than passport rules do. Pick the visa and the tool applies that consulate's own spec.

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.
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.
Questions
Will you remove the background or retouch my face?
No. Most passport offices reject edited photos, so we only crop, straighten and resize.
Is the photo check free?
Yes. The check runs in your browser and costs nothing. The full-resolution file and print sheet cost $8.99.
Do you upload my photo?
Not for the check. If you order the file, the photo is uploaded once to make it and is deleted within 1 hour.
Does a passing check guarantee acceptance?
No. Only the issuing office decides. The check measures the published rules; if your photo is rejected, we redo it for free or refund you.
