FAQ

Questions, answered.

What size is a US passport photo?

2×2 inches (51×51 mm). The head, from chin to the top of the hair, must be 1 to 1⅜ inches (25–35 mm). The app sizes and crops your photo to these rules automatically, and does the same for every other document.

Which countries and documents are supported?

201 countries: passports, visas, ID cards, residence permits and more. In the US: passport, visa and DS-160, Green Card and USCIS forms, work permit (EAD), citizenship, DV Lottery and DMV/state ID. Each document uses the size and rules published by its government.

Will my photo be accepted?

The app follows the official published requirements and checks eight things before you use the photo: eyes, centering, head size, head tilt, expression, glasses, light and sharpness. The final decision is always made by the office reviewing your application, so no app can guarantee acceptance.

Can I really take a passport photo with my phone?

Yes. Phone cameras are more than good enough. Stand facing a window for soft light, keep a neutral expression, and the app handles the background, size and checks.

What background does a US passport photo need?

Plain white or off-white. You don't need a white wall: the app removes your background and replaces it with the right colour for your document.

How do I get a printed photo?

Save a 4×6 print sheet (2, 4 or 6 photos) and print it at home or at any photo kiosk or pharmacy. Cut along the guides.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No, not unless you choose to. Face detection and background removal run on your phone. If you sign in and turn on Photo backup, your photos are stored in your account so you can restore them. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Is it free?

You can make 2 photos for free, with ads. Pro ($9.99 a year) adds unlimited exports, HD 600 DPI photos, print sheets and removes ads.
