Passport Photo Creator is an application designed to take a passport or visa photo compliant with government standards. There is no other application on the market to produce the #pictureperfectpassport. Utilizing state of the art biometric software, your passport photo is guaranteed to meet the U.S. Department of State passport photo requirements with a 99% accuracy rate. Once you take your passport photo and it meets all of the U.S. Department of State passport compliance standards, you print to Walgreens with your choice of over 8000 Walgreens locations. The added benefit of using the Passport Photo Creator app is that you can take the passport photo as many times as you desire- until you are happy with how your passport photo will look- all while making sure it meets the strict compliance requirements set by the government passport photo standards.
Ultimately, the U.S. Department of State Passport Agencies (and any embassy or consulate for visa photos) can reject your photo and application for any reason they deem fit. The Passport Photo Creator cannot guarantee that your passport photo will be accepted every time. You should review your passport photo prior to submitting your passport application to make sure it meets the requirements and is an accurate representation of your current appearance.

The Passport Photo Creator allows users to adjust the shutter exposure. Increasing or decreasing the exposure settings will help minimize the hotspot errors. You can raise exposure to .05 or 1.0 to achieve a brighter background.
The exposure setting also allows users to raise the temperature to show a lighter background without any digital altering. Both photos below are taken on the same wall with the exposure settings adjusted and raised to 1.0 in the second image for a better quality passport photo.
This photo below is even better as the background is closer to white.

The Passport Photo Creator will trigger alerts when your photo is not 100% passport photo compliant. You can ‘Print Anyway’ if you are aware of the error code and still wish to proceed. We do not recommend this course of action unless you are certain the error will be accepted by the U.S. Department of State Passport Agency.


We recommend using the app to create the perfect passport photo. The best case scenario is an all-green compliance screen.

The Passport Photo Creator uses biometric technology to detect a user’s facial features and background for uniformity. If the application produces an error message that hotspots are present, you should adjust the shutter exposure. Increasing or decreasing the exposure settings will help minimize the hotspot errors. You can raise exposure to .05 or 1.0 to achieve a brighter background.
The exposure setting also allows users to raise the temperature to show a lighter background without any digital altering. Both photos below are taken on the same wall with the exposure settings adjusted and raised to 1.0 in the first image.
This is an example of a non-compliant photo due to hotspots and non-white background.

While the Passport Photo Creator can take a perfect passport photo in selfie mode, it can be difficult to capture. The requirements set by the U.S. Department of State are very strict. Unfortunately, that means it can be very difficult for a user to capture the perfect passport photo while using the selfie camera mode. We recommend users take their passport photos with the help of a friend or associate.

No one else can be in the passport photo so you’ll need to get creative when taking a baby or child’s passport photo. When taking a photo of your baby or toddler, no other person should be in the photo.
We recommend laying the baby down on a plain white or off-white sheet. Make sure there are no shadows on the face of the subject.
Another helpful tip is to place a white sheet in the car seat and place the child or infant in the car seat. This will help with head support.
If the eye’s on a baby or infant are not open or entirely open, it’s acceptable. You may need to override the compliance requirement and use judgement for child and baby passport photos. Aim to have the subject facing forward with a straight ahead gaze towards the camera.

- Help! My photo is below 250kB.
- When the user tries to export the photo from our app, the iOS system gives the user an option to compress the image before exporting it. The user should not compress the image before exporting it. This compress and export is a feature in the iOS system, not in our app. Re-save the image without compressing and your photo will be larger and higher quality.
