baby passport photo app that gets the head size right

For a baby's passport photo, no one else can be in the shot and the background must be plain — but for infants the eyes don't have to be fully open.

Short answer

Baby and infant passport photos follow the same size and background rules, with some flexibility: for newborns and infants the eyes can be closed or partly open, and there should be no toys, hands or other people visible. Lay the baby on a plain white sheet and shoot from directly above, keeping the face evenly lit.

Snapport lets you take a compliant photo at home: it sets a plain background, crops to the exact size and helps you avoid the common rejection reasons. Always confirm your country's current official rules before you submit.

What to look for before choosing

  • No other person, hands or toys visible.
  • Plain white background (a sheet works).
  • Eyes open if possible; closed is often OK for infants.
  • Face centred and evenly lit.
  • Correct size and head proportions.

A practical decision process

  1. Lay the baby on a plain white sheet.
  2. Shoot from directly above.
  3. Capture with Snapport and pick the best frame.
  4. Make sure no hands are in shot.
  5. Crop to the required size.
