What the Passport Photo Checker Tests
Each check uses the published rules of the country you select, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Country-Specific Rules
Applies the size, head-height and background rules of your selected country — from the US 2×2 inch photo to the 35×45 mm EU and UK format.
Head Height & Framing
Measures chin-to-crown height and centering, catching the too-close and too-far mistakes that cause most rejections.
Eye Line & Pose
Checks that your eyes sit in the required band, both are open, and your head isn't tilted or turned.
Background Uniformity
Flags shadows, patterns and off-tone backdrops that don't match the colour your passport office requires.
Lighting & Glare
Picks up flash hotspots, one-sided shadows and uneven exposure across the face.
Plain-Language Fixes
Every failed check comes with a short note on what caused it and what to change before you re-check.
