Passport Photo FAQ

Everything you need to know about the dimensions, background colors, and biometric requirements before printing or submitting your photo.

What are the dimensions of a US passport photo?

The US passport photo is 2×2 inches (51×51mm) with a pure white background (RGB 255,255,255). The head must be between 1 and 1⅜ inches (25–35mm) from chin to top of head, and the eyes should be 1⅛ to 1⅜ inches from the bottom of the photo. Our AI passport photo maker generates photos at exactly 1:1 ratio meeting the US State Department specification.

What background does a UK passport photo require?

UK passports require a light grey or cream background, not pure white. The photo size is 35×45mm and the head should be 29–34mm tall. Our tool offers a dedicated UK/EU option that generates the correct light grey background (RGB ~210,210,210) at a 3:4 aspect ratio, meeting the HM Passport Office standard.

What are the passport photo requirements for the EU Schengen area?

Schengen visa and most EU passport photos (Germany, France, Italy, Spain) use 35×45mm with a light grey background. Head size is 32–36mm. These countries explicitly reject pure white backgrounds, which is why our UK/EU Passport option uses light grey.

Can I smile in a passport photo?

No. Almost every country requires a strictly neutral expression with the mouth closed. No smile, no grin, no showing teeth, no raised eyebrows. Our AI enforces this automatically — even if the source selfie shows a wide smile, the generated passport photo has a calm neutral expression compliant with biometric standards.

How do I make a passport photo at home?

Take a clear front-facing selfie in good even lighting, upload it to the passport photo maker, select your country, and click Create Passport Photo. The AI reformats the photo with the correct background, head size, expression, and aspect ratio for your selected document type. Download and print, or submit digitally.

Are AI-generated passport photos accepted by governments?

Acceptance depends on the issuing government. The US State Department and most passport agencies require that the photo be a true and recent likeness of the applicant — if the AI output preserves facial identity (our tool is explicitly instructed to do so) and meets the dimensional and background specs, it is generally accepted. For visa-critical applications, always verify the final print against the official photo checker before submitting.

What is the correct head size in a passport photo?

US passports require the head to occupy 50–69% of the photo height (25–35mm on a 51mm photo). UK and EU require 29–34mm of head on a 45mm photo (roughly 64–76%). Our AI is prompted to center the head occupying 70-80% of frame height, which falls within the compliant range for all supported document types.

Can I wear glasses in a passport photo?

Since 2016 the US, UK, and most EU countries no longer permit glasses in new passport photos (except on documented medical grounds). Our passport photo maker produces photos without glasses — if your source selfie has glasses, you should either retake it without them or manually review the AI output to confirm glasses were removed.
