Checked on 4 October 2026 against the official source. Rules can change, so confirm before you apply.
How it works
- Choose your country and document. The app loads the official size and rules.
- Take a photo with the on-screen guide, or choose one you already have.
- The app finds your face, crops the photo to the exact size and checks it against the rules: head size, centring, tilt, background and more.
- Download the digital photo for online forms, or a 4×6 in print sheet to print at any photo lab.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The face check runs inside your browser. The first time you use it, your browser downloads the face-detection software from Google's MediaPipe service; your photo itself never leaves your device.
