Frequently asked questions
Can I take my passport photo with a phone?
Yes. Any smartphone camera from the last few years is enough — face a window for even light and keep your head level. The tool handles cropping, sizing and the background automatically.
Do I need a white background?
No. Shoot against any plain, light-colored wall. The tool replaces the background with the exact color your document requires — white, off-white or light blue.
How do you make sure my photo is accepted?
Every photo is checked against the official requirements for your document — size, head position, eye line and background — to a 200% acceptance standard.
What files do I get?
A digital file at the exact pixel dimensions required for online submission, plus a 300 DPI print-ready template for photo printers and drugstores.
Is my photo private?
Yes. Uploaded photos are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted within 24 hours. We never share or resell uploads.
