About IDPhotoCheck

IDPhotoCheck is an independent tool that measures passport, visa and ID photos against the official published specifications — head size, eye line, background, pixels and file size — and produces the correctly sized file. It is a checker, not a certifier: the issuing authority always makes the final decision.

The site exists because the honest version of this tool was missing. Most photo services compete on editing — background swaps, beauty filters — that the rules for major documents expressly prohibit. IDPhotoCheck competes on measurement: sourced rules, shown numbers, borderline results labelled borderline, and a visible refusal to edit what must not be edited.

Who runs it

IDPhotoCheck is built and maintained by Abdul Hannan. It is not affiliated with any government, embassy or visa centre; the rule tables quote those authorities and link to them so you can verify every number yourself.

How it makes money

The tools are free — downloads carry no fee, gate or watermark. The site is supported by advertising shown in marked slots outside the tool workspace. If advertising is not yet active on a page, the slot simply shows as an empty marked placeholder.

Corrections

Photo rules change. Every rule table on this site carries its source and check date (last full verification: 8 November 2026). If an official page disagrees with a table here, the official page is right — please report it and it will be fixed.
