How do I get a digital passport photo for an online application?

More passport and visa applications are online now, and they don't want a scan of a print — they want a digital photo at specific pixel dimensions and file size.

Short answer

Online applications usually ask for a square or portrait JPEG at a set pixel size (for example the US online form wants 600x600 to 1200x1200 pixels) with a plain background and correct head proportion. Taking a phone photo and uploading it rarely passes on the first try because the crop and background are off. Snapport produces a digital file cropped to your country's exact spec with a clean background, so you get a compliant image to upload — and a print-ready version too if you also need physical copies.

Try Snapport on a real example first, and check the current App Store listing for exact features and pricing before you decide.

FAQ

What size does a digital passport photo need to be?

Can I just upload a phone photo?

Usually not directly — the crop, head size and background need to match. Snapport fixes those and exports a compliant file.
