How to shoot it on your iPhone
- Use the rear camera, not the selfie camera — it’s sharper and distorts your face less.
- Step back about 4–5 feet and frame head-and-shoulders; don’t pinch-to-zoom, move the phone instead.
- Face a window for soft, even light and avoid harsh overhead or side light.
- Hold the phone at eye level, look straight at the lens, neutral expression, mouth closed.
- Any plain wall behind you is fine — the background is replaced for you.

There’s nothing to install. Open the site in Safari or any browser, upload the photo straight from your iPhone’s Photos or take one on the spot, and the whole thing happens in the browser. It works the same on Android and on a computer.
We fix what phone photos usually get wrong
The reasons phone photos fail are almost always the background, the crop and head size, and the lighting — not the camera. We handle all three automatically, then run 300+ compliance checks and a real specialist reviews the result, so a quick iPhone snap becomes a submission-ready photo.
Three steps, a few minutes.

Frequently asked
Can I take a passport photo on my iPhone?
Yes. A modern iPhone camera is more than good enough. Shoot against a plain wall in even light and step back a few feet — we handle the background, sizing, head position, and lighting to meet the official spec.
Should I use the front or rear iPhone camera?
Use the rear camera. It’s higher resolution and distorts facial proportions less than the front-facing selfie camera. Prop the phone up or have someone take it from about 4–5 feet away.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Everything runs in the browser — upload from your iPhone’s Photos and download the finished photo. There’s no app to install on iPhone or Android.
Will an iPhone passport photo be accepted?
It’s judged against the official spec, not the device. Every photo runs through 300+ automatic checks and a specialist review, with a full refund if it’s rejected for a reason within our control.
