A US passport photo is a 2×2 inch square in colour, taken against a plain white background. For online renewal you upload a digital file instead. This page prepares both from a recent picture: your face is found and centred in the square, and you can download a digital JPG or a print sheet.
Everything runs in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded.
Common reasons passport photos are rejected
- Shadows on your face or on the wall behind you.
- A background that is not plain white or off-white.
- Glasses, which are generally not allowed in passport photos.
- A smile or open mouth instead of a neutral expression.
- An old, filtered or retouched photo that no longer looks like you.
