Short answer

Official photo rules commonly specify a centered, front-facing head, visible eyes, neutral expression, and a head-size range; the U.S. example is roughly 1 to 1 3/8 inches from chin to crown in a 2×2 inch photo. Snapport uses on-device Apple Vision face detection with head-top, eye-line, and chin guides, plus pinch, drag, rotate, and auto-center tools so you can fit the face to the selected template. It is a guide, not an official compliance checker, so compare the result with the issuing authority before submitting.

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

What to look for before choosing

  • Visible guides for head top, eyes, and chin rather than only a square crop box
  • Manual pinch, drag, and rotate controls so you can correct awkward framing
  • Auto-center support to quickly bring the face into the template before fine-tuning
  • Common country and document templates plus custom sizes for unusual requirements
  • Offline processing with no cloud upload, useful for private passport and ID images

FAQ

Does Snapport check passport head size?

Snapport provides head-top, eye-line, and chin guides using on-device face detection, which helps you align the photo to a template. It does not certify or guarantee government acceptance.

Why does eye line matter?

Many official rules define where the eyes or face should sit in the final photo. A face that is centered poorly can be rejected even if the photo is sharp and the background is plain.

Can I fix a tilted face in Snapport?

You can pinch, drag, rotate, auto-center, and reset the photo. If the original pose is strongly turned or not front-facing, retaking the photo is usually safer than trying to fix it.
