UK Passport Photo Checker: Digital 600 × 750 px and Printed 35 × 45 mm

Passport & Visa Photo Checker, Print Sheet and Portal File Resizer

Checks a portrait against US DS-160 and passport (2×2 in), UK, Schengen / ICAO 9303 and Australian (35×45 mm), Canadian online renewal (1200×1800 px), DV Lottery and India e-Visa rules — head size, pose, background and lighting — then auto-crops it to a JPEG at the right DPI and under the portal’s file-size limit. Any other picture or scan can be fitted to a portal’s exact pixels, DPI and KB range. Everything runs in your browser; the file never leaves your device.

One tool, two prices

A passport or visa photo is found by its face, checked and cropped so the head and eye line land inside the authority’s bands, with a print sheet included. A file resize fits any picture or scan to the numbers a portal publishes with a centre crop or padding, with no face check, and costs less. A portal not on the list can be entered as a custom photo (with its face bands) or a custom file size.

What the photo check measures

• Geometry: head height, eye line and centring against the standard’s allowed bands.
• Head pose: roll, yaw and pitch from a weak-perspective POS solver; roll is also read from the eye line.
• Background: colour uniformity (CIE76 ΔE*ab), brightness, patterns and cast shadows.
• Lighting: left/right symmetry (SSIM) and specular hotspots.
• Expression: eyes open and neutral mouth, measured from the face mesh and estimated when it is unavailable.

Print at home or at a kiosk

For standards that accept a printed photo, the tool also builds a 4×6 in or 10×15 cm print sheet: copies of the cropped photo at their exact physical size, with cut marks and 300 DPI written into the file. Order it as an ordinary photo print and turn off any “fit to frame” option so the size stays exact. The sheet is included in the photo’s price.

Children, families and client batches

Child mode relaxes the eye and expression checks only where the authority does (GOV.UK, the US State Department, Canada and Australia publish rules for babies and young children). Add each finished photo to a batch and download every photo and sheet as one ZIP, charged once with volume discounts, which suits families, schools and immigration firms that should not upload clients’ faces anywhere.

How a file hits an exact size

The resize binary-searches JPEG quality (up to 12 iterations) to land inside the KB band at the highest quality possible, then reports the SSIM so you can see how much fidelity was kept. The DPI is written straight into the JFIF header with no resample, and a page can be saved as a best-effort PDF/A.

Face finder and limits

The face is found by Google’s MediaPipe Face Landmarker, run entirely in your browser. Its model (about 4 MB) and runtime load from this site once and are then cached; your photo is never sent anywhere, and the model only places points, it identifies no one. Drag any point to fine-tune it. If the model can’t run on your device, you place the points by hand and the expression checks are advisory. This is a pre-submission check; the issuing authority makes the final decision.
