Fits the rules
The right size and shape, the head at the required height, centred and level, on a plain background in the colour the document asks for.

Skip the photo studio. Choose your document, add a photo taken at home, and PhotoPass sizes, frames and checks it against the official rules, all inside your browser.
Made for the rules
A photo that fits,
before you submit it.
Checks before you submit
Every rule it can measure, in plain words, with one verdict and a fix where there is one. What only you can judge, it lists for you to tick off.
Never leaves your device
No upload, no account, no permissions. The photo stays in your browser tab, and PhotoPass works offline.

Where it works
Seven documents,
four countries.
Each one follows its official rules.
| Country | Document | Photo |
|---|---|---|
| India | OCI card | Square JPEG, uploaded |
| India | Visa, online application | Square JPEG, uploaded |
| India | Passport, applying abroad | JPEG, uploaded |
| United States | Visa (DS-160) | Square JPEG, uploaded |
| United States | Passport | Printed, 2 × 2 in |
| Germany | Schengen visa | Printed, 35 × 45 mm |
| Canada | Visa | Printed, 35 × 45 mm |
Not supported, and why
- German passport and ID card. Since May 2025, their photos are accepted only digitally, taken at the authority or sent by a certified photographer.
- Canadian passport. Printed photos need the studio’s stamp on the back, and online renewal needs the unedited camera file.
Good questions
Before you begin.
Will my photo be accepted?
PhotoPass checks every rule it can measure: size, head height, position, background, light and focus. It lists what only you can judge, such as your expression or glare on glasses. The office that takes your application makes the final decision.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser tab. PhotoPass asks for no permissions, needs no account, and works offline.
Can I print the photo?
Yes. For a printed document it makes the photo at 600 dpi, at the exact size, with a sheet of copies to print on photo paper.
My document is not listed. Can I still use it?
Not yet. Each document follows its own official rules, and we add them one at a time. Write to us with the one you need.
