Tips & Best Practices

Use natural, even lighting — avoid harsh shadows on the face. Window light works best for passport photos.

Stand against a plain white or light-colored wall. Our passport photo generator can adjust background color to white or light blue.

Keep a neutral expression with mouth closed. Most countries reject smiling passport photos.

Remove glasses, hats, and head coverings (unless required for religious reasons).

For best print quality, use a source photo of at least 600×600 pixels. Modern smartphone cameras produce excellent passport photos.

Print on glossy photo paper at actual size — don't let your printer scale the passport size photo.
