Built for Online Passport Renewal

The US State Department now accepts online passport renewals, which require a digital photo upload. Snap2Pass generates photos in the exact format required:

  • 600 x 600 to 1200 x 1200 pixels, square aspect ratio
  • JPEG format, 54 KB to 10 MB file size
  • Compliant with 2026 AI-editing rules — we validate, never alter your appearance

No need to scan a printed photo or guess at pixel dimensions. Your digital file is ready to upload directly.


What If My Photo Doesn't Pass?

Snap2Pass checks your photo against the same criteria used by passport agencies before you submit. If something is wrong — eyes closed, face tilted, shadow on background — the app tells you exactly what to fix. Retake as many times as you need at no extra cost.

Our 99.8% acceptance rate across 500,000+ users means your photo meets the standard the first time you submit it to the government.


Accepted for All Major Documents

Your online passport photo works for US passports, visas, green cards, USCIS forms, and 555+ other document types across 166 countries. Select your document type and Snap2Pass handles the rest — dimensions, background, head positioning, and file format are all adjusted automatically.
