About Passport Photo Maker
Your free, comprehensive guide to passport and visa photo requirements for countries around the world.
What We Do
Passport Photo Maker is a free reference tool that aggregates official photo specifications for passports, visas, and national ID cards from government sources worldwide. We present the information in a clear, consistent format so that travellers, photographers, and applicants can quickly find the exact dimensions, background colour, and formatting rules required for their documents — without having to hunt through embassy websites in multiple languages.
Our Mission
A rejected passport photo wastes time and money. Our mission is to help every traveller prepare a compliant photo on the first attempt by making accurate, up-to-date specifications easy to find and understand. We believe access to this information should be free.
How Our Data Is Sourced
Every specification on Passport Photo Maker is researched from official government publications — including embassy websites, immigration authority guidelines, and national passport offices. We cite the document type and issuing authority for each entry so you know exactly where the requirements come from.
Our team regularly reviews each country entry and updates the data when official requirements change. However, requirements can and do change without notice, so we always recommend confirming the current specifications with the relevant embassy or issuing authority before submitting your application.
Coverage
We currently cover passport and visa photo requirements for 10+ countries, spanning every continent. Our database is continuously expanding as we add new countries and document types.
For each country, we provide:
- Exact photo dimensions in both millimetres and inches
- Background colour requirements
- Head size and positioning guidelines
- File format and resolution specifications
- Common mistakes to avoid
- Recommended tools for creating compliant photos
- Answers to frequently asked questions
