Put the top of the head between the upper dashed lines and the chin between the lower ones. Drag the photo, or use the arrow keys.
These sizes and guides follow the published requirements, but whether a photo is accepted is decided by the authority you send it to. Rules differ between a passport and a visa in the same country and they change; some authorities do not accept a photo whose background was replaced digitally. Check the rules for your application before you print.
Frequently asked questions
- Will this photo be accepted?
- We cannot promise that, and anyone who does is guessing. The size and the head position follow the published requirements, which is the part a tool can get right. The rest is the authority's decision, and their own rules page is the one that counts.
- What are the dashed lines for?
- The upper pair is where the top of the head belongs and the lower pair is where the chin does. They are bands rather than lines because the requirement is a range, in millimetres, and a face anywhere inside them is the right size for that format.
- Is my photo uploaded?
- No. The background removal runs in your browser through a model your browser downloads once, and the framing is a canvas on this page. A photo of your face is exactly the kind of file that should not be going to somebody's server.
- Why only two sizes?
- Because those two can be checked against the authority's own page: 35 by 45 mm is the ICAO format the EU, the UK and Israel use, and 2 by 2 inches is the US State Department's. Most lists longer than this are photo shops repeating each other, and a wrong head height looks exactly like a right one until the application comes back.
- Can I print several on one sheet?
- Not yet. The file you get is one photo at the exact pixel size for the resolution you chose, which is what a print shop or a home printer's photo layout needs.
