Passport photo-taking tips
Follow these guidelines to create the perfect passport picture.
1
Consider the distance
Keep your front-facing camera 16–20 inch (40–50 cm) away from the face. For rear cameras, keep a 4–6 foot (1–2 meter) distance.
2
Keep your head and body straight
Look directly into the camera and avoid tilting your body. Remember, portrait mode is unacceptable for passport photos.
3
Prepare good lighting
Take your passport photos in a daylight setting, like near a window on a sunny day. Shadows are not permitted.

01
Photos for identity documents
Different documents come with different photo requirements. An ID card photo may have lighter rules than a passport or visa photo, where every detail must be compliant.
With PassportShot, you can choose your document type and generate the right format without manually checking size, crop, or background rules.
02
Passport photos
The app supports passport photos for almost any country. That includes US passport photos (2 x 2 in), Canadian photos (50 x 70 mm), and many international formats (35 x 45 mm and more).
Instead of learning dimensions and file rules for each country, you simply select the document and let the tool prepare the final output.
03
Visa photos
Visa rules vary widely by destination. From US and China to Japan and Russia, each country can require specific size, framing, and background standards.
PassportShot helps you prepare visa-ready pictures by matching the selected country format automatically.
04
Driving license
In many countries, a driving license is an official identity document and therefore needs a compliant photo.
Whether your application requires digital upload or printed output, PassportShot can prepare a driving license photo in the right format.
05
DIY passport photo at home
Yes, you can take a passport or visa photo at home using only your smartphone. The key is following simple capture rules and letting the app handle technical checks.

06
What mistakes should you avoid?
Document photos are straightforward if you avoid a few common issues that often lead to rejection.
Glasses in the photo
For many passports, glasses are not allowed. Where they are accepted, there must be no glare and your eyes must be fully visible.
Head tilted
Your head should be straight, with full facial features visible and no upward or downward tilt.
Wide smile
A neutral expression is safest. A full smile can fail compliance checks in many countries.
07
Passport photo tool
PassportShot combines image editing tools with AI checks to verify if your photo meets official requirements.
It handles background cleanup, sizing, and composition checks so you can move faster with fewer retries.
