Tips for taking your own biometric photos

Follow these steps to get the best results

Distance from the camera while taking a passport photo

Mind the distance

Pose 4–6 feet (1–2 meters) from the camera. Use a timer to take your photo or have someone snap it for you.

passport photo posture: Straight ahead

Face the camera directly

Keep your head straight. Avoid tilting your body or looking away. Remember: portrait mode is not suitable for any ID photos.

Passport photo lighting

Ensure good lighting

Take your photos in daylight e.g., next to a bright window. Shadows on your face or in the background are not allowed.

How to convert a photo to passport size with our passport photo app

Resizing your image to meet the guidelines of an Irish passport photo couldn’t be simpler. You no longer need to look for convenient photography studios or photo booths in your area—you can take professional and compliant passport photos without stepping outside.

With our intuitive passport-size photo maker, you can create hassle-free biometric passport images (or visa photos)—in as little as 3 minutes! Here’s how it works:

  • Take a photo at home. Make sure you snap it in a natural light source against a light-coloured background (e.g., white wall). Your smartphone’s digital camera is most likely perfectly suitable to take a high-quality passport photo
  • Upload a photo. Once you’ve chosen the perfect photo, upload it to our mobile app or the online passport photo editor. The AI will crop, resize, and check if your image is compliant with the Irish passport photo requirements
  • Get your passport photos. With our passport photo creator, you get the digital pictures in your inbox. Or, if you need passport photo prints, you can try our printing service to get acceptable passport-size photos straight to your doorstep!

Want to print passport photos yourself? You can do it at many convenient locations across Ireland (e.g., at Boots Photo). Download the printable image created with our passport-size photo maker and print it for pennies.

You’re 3 steps away from saving time and money on your Irish passport photos. Snap your best photo, and let our AI passport photo maker create passport-size pictures for you—fully automatically!

How to change the background of a passport-size photo?

Already have an image in a standard passport photo size, but the background doesn’t meet the requirements? Worry not—we’re here to solve the issue with our background remover feature.

Upload your photo to our Irish passport photo maker, and the AI will automatically adjust the background colour to the one required by your country (e.g., white background): no glitches, patchiness, or blurry spots. Within seconds, you’ll see the preview of your passport photo. 

If you prefer desktop software, try our online passport photo maker!

Note: Not sure if your photo quality is compliant? Use our passport photo editor software with an expert evaluation! That way, you’ll be 100% sure the image will be accepted. If it’s not, we offer a money-back guarantee.

Making passport photos at home: quick tips

Can you wear prescription glasses? Not sure if smiling is allowed? We have the answers. Keep the following in mind when taking your own passport photo: 

  • You can wear glasses. However, make sure your eyes and facial features are still fully visible. Avoid thick or dark frames
  • Choose appropriate clothing for an official document. Avoid any colours that blend with the background (i.e., white, grey, cream)
  • Keep a neutral facial expression. A slight smile is acceptable, but don’t overdo it. Stay relaxed, keep your eyes open and mouth closed

Note that these tips apply to both passport and visa photos. If you have more detailed questions on how to take your own photo, read our guide covering all requirements for Irish passport photos here. 

Note: Do you want to take a photo for your child’s passport? We have a comprehensive guide on how to take passport photos for babies stress-free.
