PassPose checks a US passport, visa, or green card photo against the official rules: head size, eye height, background, light, and expression. The check is free and needs no account. It runs in your browser. PassPose crops and resizes the photo. It does not edit it, because the State Department rejects edited photos. The download costs US$9.99 and gives the photo file at the official size and a 4×6 sheet to print at a drugstore. PassPose is not a government site.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Hang, and I built PassPose.
A passport photo at a drugstore costs about $17. A photo at home is free, but most home photos fail on small things: a shadow on the wall, the head too large, uneven light. Many photo apps fix this by replacing the background or smoothing the skin, and the State Department rejects edited photos.
PassPose checks your photo against 11 State Department rules in your browser and tells you what to fix. Then it crops and resizes the photo to the official size. It never changes your face or the background. The check and retakes are free. The download is $9.99, and if an office rejects a photo that passed the check, you get a full refund.
In the first two weeks, people checked 80 photos and 26 passed every rule. A shadow on the wall was the most common failure. PassPose cannot promise acceptance, and the site lists what it does not check.
If a photo passed here and failed at the post office, or the check flagged something wrong, please tell me. Those cases make the check better.
