Passport and visa photos, checked before you send them

Photos get refused for small things: a head a bit too small, a shadow, a smile. Photo Ferret checks yours against the official rules, right on your phone. It's never uploaded.

Applying for a US visa?

Take your photo at home with a helper. We guide the shot, check it, and crop it to the exact 600 × 600 file the DS-160 asks for.

Why people use Photo Ferret

How it works

  1. Take the photo at home

    Plain light wall, someone else holds the phone. Our live guide tells them when it's right.

  2. See what to fix

    Head size, pose, expression and background, checked against that document's rules.

  3. Get the exact file

    Cropped and sized for the official upload, ready in seconds.

Next: the Indian OCI card and e-Visa. Canadian passports, permanent resident cards and citizenship need a commercial photographer, and we won't pretend otherwise.
