Passport photo checker
Choose the document, add your photo, and see exactly which published measurements it meets — and which it misses, with the numbers shown. Then export the correctly framed, correctly sized file, free.
We measure, we don’t certify. IDPhotoCheck checks your photo against the published measurements — the issuing authority makes the final decision, and no tool can promise approval.
What this tool will not do to a US photo
The official US rule requires your original, unedited photo: no filters, no retouching, and no software-changed backgrounds. So this checker measures and crops — and refuses to replace the background or “beautify” a face — for US documents. If your background is not white, the honest fix is a retake against a plain white wall or sheet. Why we refuse to edit your photo →

We measure, we don’t certify. IDPhotoCheck checks your photo against the published measurements — the issuing authority makes the final decision, and no tool can promise approval.
How the check works
- Measure. A face detector that runs entirely in your browser finds the chin, hairline, eyes and face edges; the tool computes head height, eye line, centring and tilt as percentages of the frame.
- Compare. Each measurement is compared with the published band for the document you picked — with a borderline zone, because the crown of the head is estimated from the hairline and no honest tool should pretend otherwise.
- Frame & export. The suggested frame centres the face at the middle of the allowed band. The export produces the document’s pixel size and lands inside its file-size window where one is published.

Questions
Does this checker guarantee my photo will be accepted?
No — and no honest tool can. IDPhotoCheck measures your photo against the published official measurements; the issuing authority makes the final decision on the day. We measure, we don’t certify.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The face detector and all processing run inside your browser on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can you fix my background?
No. Several authorities prohibit software-altered photos — the US requires your original unedited photo. We measure the background and tell you how to retake it against a plain wall; we never repaint it.
Which documents are supported?
US passport, US visa (DS-160), DV Lottery, UK digital passport, Schengen visa, India e-Visa, China visa (paper and COVA upload) and US baby/child passport photos. India passport runs in manual mode because we could not verify its current official values from an official page.
