I love that many visa and passport applications now allow you to submit online passport photos! But the trick is making sure you get it right, as it would stink to have your application denied because of your picture.

Most countries, offer tips for a good passport selfie, but the US State Department actually offers a free passport photo tool to help you get the right dimensions.

It doesn’t let you edit the background, so my example photo below (couldn’t find any with white backgrounds) would definitely fail, but it does let you zoom in or out to get the right head to shoulders proportions and save the file to submit or print out.
