Start with a photo
Drop a photo here, or use the buttons.
JPEG or PNG. The file is read in this browser and is not uploaded.
Live view is mirrored on a front camera. The photo you keep is not.
Drag to move the crop. Arrow keys nudge. Plus and minus zoom.
Compliance check
PassOkay crops and checks. It does not replace the background, apply filters, or retouch the face.
These checks are estimates. They are not an acceptance decision, and PassOkay is not a government site. Head height is guessed from the chin and forehead, so nudge the crop if the guides miss the hair.

2. Crop to the spec
The face checker loads only after you start. It places the head, then you can drag and zoom against the guides.
3. Read the checks
Face, head size, centering, eyes, expression, tilt, light, and background. Each row is a pass or a warning. Nothing is retouched.
Free preview. $4.99 for the file.
$4.99 once, no account
The watermarked preview is free. Paying removes the watermark and turns on the digital download and, where a home print is allowed, the 4×6 sheet. Card checkout is Square. Bitcoin is BTCPay. Canada passport and Australia passport pages are checkers only. We do not sell those photos.
Passport and visa sizes
Pick the document. The tool on that page opens with the right millimeters, pixels, and file limit. The size chart and the visa hub link the rest.

Questions
Can I take my own passport photo?
Yes for a U.S. passport. Canada and Australia require a photographer for their passports. Those two pages on this site only check the published spec.
Does the photo leave my phone?
No. Cropping and the face check run in the browser. If you pay, Square or BTCPay gets the payment, not the picture.
Can I smile?
On a U.S. passport photo, a closed-mouth smile is allowed. Keep both eyes open. U.S. visa photos still ask for a neutral expression.
Do you replace the background?
No. If the wall is the wrong color, take another photo. Replacing the background is one of the edits U.S. rules reject.
Is a passing check a guarantee?
No. It is an estimate from this device. A person at the agency decides.
