- ✓ Maintain Neutral Expression: Keep your eyes completely open, mouth closed, and look directly straight into the camera lens.
- ✓ Even Lighting: Use balanced natural lighting or flash positioned to eliminate shadows behind ears or under your chin.
- ✓ Head & Shoulder Alignment: Sit straight with shoulders square to the camera. Keep both ears and the full oval of your face visible.
- ✓ High Contrast Clothes: Wear dark or medium tone everyday clothing that contrasts clearly with the white or light background.
- ✕ No Eyeglasses: As per updated ICAO and US/India guidelines, eyeglasses with reflections or tinted lenses cause instant rejection.
- ✕ No Tilting or Turning: Do not tilt your head sideways, downwards, or upwards. Portrait angle must be strictly perpendicular.
- ✕ No Smiling with Teeth: Official passports mandate biometric facial recognition neutrality — avoid grinning or raising eyebrows.
- ✕ No White Shirts on White BG: Avoid wearing plain white clothes that blend seamlessly into the white background.
- Stand 4 to 5 feet away from a plain wall facing a well-lit window.
- Have someone take a portrait-mode photo at eye level, or use a tripod with a timer.
- Keep your face centered, shoulders straight, hair tucked behind ears, and a calm, neutral expression.
- Upload your photo to this tool, align the face with the yellow crown, green eye level, and red chin guide lines, then export!

Created an 8-photo 4x6 inch printable sheet from a smartphone selfie. Got it printed at local color lab for just ₹10. Saved over ₹150 compared to studio rates.

Created 35x45mm white background photos for my Indian passport renewal at PSK. The biometric oval guide ensured exact 70-80% face coverage. The submission was accepted without any objection.
