About Passport Photos AI
Passport Photos AI lets you test a photo before paying anything. You upload a file in JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or HEIC format up to 10 MB, and the AI checks it against the requirements for the selected document, covering size and dimensions, head position, background, lighting, framing and image quality. Any issues are shown before you continue.
Supported applications include a US passport, a US visa with DS-160 checks, a UK passport and UK visa and immigration photos. The service strips out the original backdrop, applies a correct one, and enhances and crops the image to specification, and you preview the result before deciding to download the prepared file.
The check is free and the download costs $7.99. The site is explicit that passing every check does not guarantee acceptance, since the relevant passport or visa authority makes the final decision, so the checks are a way to catch common problems early.
