Step-by-Step Usage Guide
Prepare official, high-resolution document photos in four quick steps:
Select a clear, front-facing portrait from your phone or computer.
Choose the official country dimension standard (e.g., US, UK, Schengen).
Drag, zoom, and rotate to position eyes and chin inside the oval outline.
Download your calibrated 300 DPI high-resolution JPEG ready to print.
Required Photo Standards
- Head Size Ratio: Your head (from top of hair to chin) should cover between 50% and 69% of the total photo height.
- Eye Placement: Eyes must be positioned in the upper two-thirds of the image, looking directly at the camera.
- Background & Lighting: Plain white or off-white background with even lighting free of harsh shadows.
- Neutral Expression: Directly face the lens with both eyes open and mouth closed naturally.
Common Rejection Pitfalls
- Head Tilt or Angle: Tilting your head sideways or facing partially away from the camera.
- Eyeglass Glare: Reflected light obscuring your eyes (most authorities require removing glasses).
- Incorrect Crop: Submitting non-standard pixel aspect ratios or low-resolution crops.
- Wall Shadows: Deep shadows behind ears or cast across the background wall.
