Passport photos get rejected for a short list of reasons: a shadow on the wall, a smile, glasses, a tilted head. Upload yours, pick the country, and get a pass / check / fail list for each rule before you send it.
The rules that trip people up
Background must be plain and light, the face evenly lit with no shadows, the expression neutral with both eyes open, and the head straight on. The US and UK no longer accept glasses in passport photos.
What it can't measure
Exact pixel size and head height in millimetres depend on the file and print. The checker flags those as items to confirm with the official size guide rather than guessing.
The final word is official
This is a pre-check to catch obvious problems. The passport office or embassy makes the final decision on every photo.
Questions
Can I wear glasses in a passport photo?
Not for US or UK passports. Other countries vary, so the checker flags glasses for you to confirm.
Can I smile in a passport photo?
Most countries require a neutral expression with the mouth closed.
Does it guarantee my photo will be accepted?
No. It catches the common problems; the issuing agency decides.
