Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Every check runs on your own device using in-browser face detection, so the photo is never uploaded and never leaves your browser.

Does a pass guarantee my photo will be accepted?

No. This free check covers a limited set of automated criteria only — not print quality, the final file you submit, or the reviewing officer's decision. For a guaranteed, verified photo, use Passport Photo Online's paid service.

What does this checker actually look at?

On-device it checks head angle, eyes open, neutral expression, and photo sharpness using face-landmark detection, plus basic file checks like format and resolution. Framing, lighting, colour, background, headwear and eyewear aren't scored yet and show as not checked.

What happens if my photo fails?

You'll see exactly which checks it failed and why, so you know what to fix. You can retake the photo and check again for free, as many times as you like.
