Free passport photo ICAO compliance checker
Upload any portrait photo and get a detailed compliance report against ICAO 9303 standards used worldwide for passports, visas and ID documents. We measure 16 distinct metrics — head height percentage, eye line position, head tilt, centering, top margin, background uniformity, sharpness, expression neutrality, gaze direction, mouth closure, eye openness, symmetry, file resolution, glare, red-eye and shadow distribution — and tell you specifically what passes, what's borderline and what fails. Free forever. Photo processed entirely in your browser; we don't store it.

How it works
- 1Upload your photo (JPG, PNG, or HEIC). Detection runs locally on your device — nothing is uploaded.
- 2Pick the country and document you're applying for. The checker switches thresholds to that authority's exact spec.
- 3Read the metric-by-metric report. Green = pass, amber = borderline, red = fail. Each row explains why and what to change.
Frequently asked
Which countries does this checker work for?
Every country that issues ICAO-compliant biometric documents — that's effectively all 193 UN member states. The default thresholds match ICAO 9303 (the universal baseline); pick your specific document to load the country's exact head-height / eye-line bands.
How accurate is the face-detection model?
We use Google's MediaPipe FaceMesh — 468 facial landmarks with sub-pixel precision on a frontal portrait. It's the same model government photo booths and major OEMs use, distilled into ~3 MB of WebAssembly that runs locally in your tab.
If it passes here, will the embassy accept the photo?
Geometry and quality, yes — those are deterministic measurements against ICAO 9303 thresholds. But many authorities also check editorial details we can't measure (recent date, no edit history, neutral background even when uniform). Our score is a strong signal, not an official approval.
Need a fully compliant photo, not just a check?
Anfas.Pro turns any selfie into a passport-grade photo in 30 seconds. One-time €4.99, full refund if it isn't accepted.
