PASSPORT & VISA PHOTO HELP
Choose your document first. Photo dimensions, upload limits, and capture rules depend on the application you are completing.
Find your country’s guidance before taking a photo. A printed passport photo and a digital renewal upload may need different dimensions. Check whether your application requires professional capture or permits a photo taken at home.
Browse passport requirements →Use the rules for the destination country and visa application. Confirm whether you need a digital upload, a physical print, or a photo taken at the application centre before preparing a file.
Find visa photo guidance →Start with the free checker to review common framing and image issues. If you need a prepared download, select the matching document in the photo maker and review the preview and one-time price.

PHOTO REJECTION CHECKLIST
Review the common passport and visa photo problems before you submit an application or pay for a download.
BACKGROUND
Plain white or approved light backgrounds make the face easier for an authority to identify. PixPassVisa checks background uniformity before you buy.
BIOMETRIC FRAMING
Every destination uses its own head-height and eye-position range. Choose the exact country and document instead of relying on a generic crop.
FILE RULES
A correct-looking portrait can still fail an upload because the pixels, aspect ratio, JPEG format, DPI, or file size are wrong.
PHOTO QUALITY
Even lighting, open eyes, a neutral expression, and a straight-on pose help your photo match the published biometric guidance.

GOOD QUESTIONS
A few things worth knowing
before you start.
Start with a recent, genuine portrait. Select your country and document, upload the photo, and review the crop and automated checks. Preview the output and price before purchasing a digital photo and print sheet.
Not always. The same country may have different requirements for passports, visas, and other documents. Select the exact application and check the issuing authority's current instructions, including digital upload limits.
A phone can capture a suitable starting photo if the image is sharp, well lit, and taken straight on. Ask someone to take the picture at eye level, leave room for cropping, and avoid filters. Check your authority's capture rules before submitting.
Use the required photo dimensions and print the sheet at actual size, without fit-to-page scaling. Measure the finished photos with a ruler and check the authority's paper and print-quality rules. A print sheet does not itself guarantee a compliant physical print.
Yes. The automated photo checker is free to use. Creating a downloadable processed photo and print sheet is a separate paid service. Preview your result and review the price before paying.
Choose the country and the exact document you are applying for. Printed dimensions, digital pixel dimensions, and upload file limits are different requirements. Check the authority's instructions for your application before choosing a format.
No. Automated checks help identify common problems, but they cannot certify a photo or guarantee acceptance. The issuing authority makes the final decision. pixpassvisa.com is an independent service, not a government agency.
No. Use a recent, genuine photograph of yourself without face filters or retouching. Some authorities also prohibit background replacement or other software alterations. Review the original photo and your authority's editing rules before submitting.
The tools run in your browser on a phone or computer. Paid photo downloads use a one-time payment. Review the selected document, output, and local price in the preview before checkout.
