Next Step
Need help preparing your visa file?
After your photo checks, continue with a personalized preparation checklist — or request assistance with remaining documents.
One engine. Every document photo requirement.
Passport, visa, and ID photos all go through the same workflow above — choose a country and document type (or enter your own authority's numbers), then take or upload a photo, crop, validate, and export. Switching the requirement re-runs every check against the new specification; nothing about the photo pipeline changes.
Digital-only requirements
- US visa photo (2×2 in, digital)
- US passport (online renewal, digital)
- UK passport (35×45mm, digital)
- Canada passport (digital)
- Australia citizenship (digital)

- Netherlands ID/passport (print)

What the Passport Photo Maker does
The Passport Photo Maker is one photo engine behind every passport, visa, and ID photo requirement OpenVisa publishes — currently United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Choose the requirement, crop to the required aspect ratio in your browser, run deterministic file and geometry checks, and download a local JPEG. For any other country, a transparent custom mode lets you enter your own authority's requirements. Face and background heuristics are marked Needs review when they cannot be certified automatically.
How it works
- 1
Choose the official specification, or enter your own
Each covered option is tied to a cited government source. For countries without a verified profile, you can enter the requirements from your own authority instead — we never invent a universal rule.
- 2
Take a photo or upload one
Use your device camera for a live capture, or upload an existing file. Either way, the image is read in your browser only — it is not uploaded to Open Visa Global servers and is not sent to AI APIs.
- 3
Crop, check, and download
Adjust the crop, run compliance checks, then download a JPEG sized to the published export dimensions.
How to read the result
Looks compliant means the automated checks for that specification did not find a hard failure. Needs review means something could not be certified automatically. Fix required means a published digital rule was not met. None of these labels guarantee that an embassy, passport office, or consulate will accept your photo.
Frequently asked questions
Is this just a checker, or can it create and resize photos too?
Both. It's one engine: choose a requirement and it crops to the correct aspect ratio, lets you reposition, zoom, and rotate, checks the result, optimizes the file size, and exports — the same workflow whether you're making a new passport photo or checking an existing one.
Why is there no universal Schengen photo option?
Digital pixel and upload rules can differ by Member State and application channel. Publishing one EU-wide digital rule would overstate the evidence we have.
Does a pass mean my visa will be approved?
No. This tool only checks selected published photo rules. Visa decisions depend on the full application and the deciding authority.
