How to take a passport photo at home

  1. Take the photo. Stand facing a window in daylight, phone at eye level, a plain wall a step behind you. No hat, no glasses, mouth closed, eyes open. Any recent phone photo works — JPEG, PNG, HEIC or WEBP.
  2. Upload it. The background is removed and replaced with the colour your document requires, the head is cropped to the official size band, and every published rule is checked against the government's own spec — free, before any payment.
  3. Download your digital passport photo. If it passes, you get the exact file the online application asks for — correct pixels, correct head size, under the size limit. Rejected anywhere? Full refund within 30 days.

Every photo is built to that application's official published photo spec.

Prices

What a passport photo costs

A drugstore photo counter charges $16.99 at CVS for a printed set — and the counter doesn't check your photo against your application's actual spec. Here it's $9.99 one-time for a checked, submit-ready digital file, and the compliance check itself is free before you pay anything.

Full breakdowns: what passport photos cost at every store and US passport fees in 2026 — every government charge in one table.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

What is a passport photo maker?

A passport photo maker turns an ordinary photo into a file that matches a government's published photo spec. ReadyVisaPhoto removes the background, crops your head to the required size band, and returns a submit-ready file.

How much does ReadyVisaPhoto cost?

$9.99 for one finished photo, charged only after the photo passes the compliance check. Checking a photo you already have is free, and there is no account or subscription.

Which documents can I make a photo for?

US passport, US visa (DS-160), DV lottery, UK passport, Australian passport, Schengen visa, China visa (COVA) and the India OCI card. Every photo is built to that application's official published spec.

Do I need to download an app?

No. It runs in any browser with no signup, no app and no subscription. JPEG, PNG, HEIC and WEBP files up to 15 MB are accepted.

Is ReadyVisaPhoto an official government service?

No. It is an independent service that makes and checks photos, not affiliated with any government. The official requirement page for each document is linked on that document's page.

What happens if the portal still rejects my photo?

You get a full refund. Email info@readyvisaphoto.com with your order id within 30 days of purchase and tell us it was rejected. No screenshots, no forms, no proof required.

Can I use a phone selfie?

Yes. Face a window with a plain wall behind you and upload the photo as it is. The background is removed and replaced with whatever colour the document's spec requires.

What happens to my photo after I download it?

It is used only to run the checks, stays downloadable by you for 30 days, then is deleted automatically. There is no account, no photo library and no reuse.

How do I take a passport photo at home?

Stand facing a window in daylight with a plain wall a step behind you and have someone photograph you at eye level — or use a phone stand. Upload the photo: the background is removed, the head is cropped to the official size band, and every published rule is checked free before you pay.

Can I take my newborn or baby passport photo at home?

Yes. Lay your baby on a plain white blanket in daylight and photograph from directly above, with eyes open if the destination requires it. The checks apply the official infant allowances, so a home photo of a newborn can pass the same spec an adult photo is held to.

Rejected by the portal? We refund you.

Email us with your order id and the full amount goes back to your card. No screenshots, no proof — just tell us it was rejected.
