How to use Passport Photo

  1. Choose a clear, front-facing portrait.
  2. Pick the country — each has its own official size and head-position rules.
  3. Adjust the crop, then download a single photo or a print sheet.

Head size is the most common reason a photo is rejected, and background is the second.

Glasses are refused for UK, US and Schengen photos. Head coverings are allowed for religious reasons if the full face is visible.

Questions

Will this be accepted officially?
The dimensions and head proportions match the published specification for the country you pick. Whether a photo is accepted also depends on lighting, background and expression, which are down to the original photograph.
What is the print sheet for?
It lays multiple copies onto a standard photo print — 4×6 inch or 10×15 cm — so any print shop produces a sheet you cut up, far cheaper than ordering passport photos.
Which country sizes are included?
The common ones: 35 × 45 mm for the Schengen area, the UK and Australia, 51 × 51 mm for the United States and India, 50 × 70 mm for Canada, and 45 × 55 mm for Bangladesh — each with its head-height guide.
Why do photos get rejected?
Head size first, then background. Both are shown as you position the photo: keep the head inside the guide and the background plain and evenly lit.
