Crucial ICAO Biometric Composition Guidelines

1. Neutral Facial Expression

Maintain a relaxed, closed-mouth expression looking directly into the camera lens. Open-mouth smiles, squinting, or frowning are common causes for visa rejection.

2. Lighting & Shadow Elimination

Use balanced, diffused front lighting. Ensure there are zero shadows cast behind your ears, under your chin, or on the background wall.

3. Attire & Contrast

Wear dark or colored everyday clothing to contrast distinctly against the white background. Avoid white shirts, military uniforms, or camouflage clothing.

How to Print Your Passport Photos on 4x6 Photo Paper

Most photo print kiosks (Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Boots, Tesco) charge up to $15–$20 for standard passport photo services, but only $0.35 for a standard 4x6 inch photo print.

2x2 inch photos (US/India): A standard 4x6 inch print (1200x1800 px at 300 DPI) fits exactly 6 individual 2x2 inch photos arranged in a 2x3 grid.
35x45 mm photos (UK/EU): A standard 4x6 inch print fits up to 8 individual 35x45 mm photos with cutting borders.
Use standard glossy or semi-matte photo paper and trim cleanly with scissors along the border guidelines.

How do I print passport photos on a standard 4x6 inch photo paper?

What are the official ICAO biometric guidelines for passport headshots?

According to ICAO Document 9303: Your head (from bottom of chin to crown of hair) must occupy between 70% and 80% of the total image height. The background must be solid white or light grey with zero shadows. Maintain a neutral facial expression with eyes open, mouth closed, and look directly into the camera.

Are eyeglasses allowed in official passport photos?

In the United States and most international visa systems, prescription eyeglasses are no longer permitted in passport photos to prevent flash glare and eye occlusion, unless you have a signed medical certificate from a doctor.

Is my personal identity photograph stored on any server?

No. Photo2Anything processes and crops all passport and visa photos 100% locally in your web browser memory using HTML5 Canvas. Your biometric photos never leave your device.
