A rejected passport or visa photo can delay an application by weeks. The Passport Photo Maker turns a phone photo into a compliant document photo in the browser. Take a picture against a plain wall, choose your document, and the tool crops and straightens the image to the exact published specification. The background is evened out automatically.

Before you pay, a free checker reviews the photo against the issuing authority's published rules and flags common problems such as glasses, shadows, uneven lighting, a head that is too small, or eyes in the wrong position. Checking and previewing are always free.

Supported documents include the US passport, DS-160 visa photo, green card and DV lottery photos, UK passport, Schengen visa, Canada passport, India passport or visa, and Australia passport.

Download a compliant digital JPEG for $4.99, or a printable 4x6 sheet for $6.99 to print at any photo counter. Both are one-time purchases with no subscription. Uploaded photos are deleted after 24 hours. The Passport Photo Maker is an independent tool and is not affiliated with any government agency.

The check is free — you pay only if you want the finished file. A digital JPEG works for online applications, and the printable sheet can be taken to any photo counter or printed at home.
