Welcome to the Passport Photo AI blog

We’re starting a blog to cover the questions we keep seeing in support threads, on Reddit, and in our own analytics. Things like:

• Why was my passport photo rejected? Most rejections come down to a handful of repeatable issues — background, head size, glasses, or expression. We’ll break down each one with examples.
• Can I take a passport photo with my iPhone? Yes — and there are a few things to know about lighting, distance, and which camera mode to use. We’ll walk through it step by step.
• What does the photo need for a Schengen visa? Embassies inside the Schengen zone don’t always interpret the same ICAO rule identically. We’ll compare what each consulate actually checks.
• DV Lottery and US visa photos — different requirements, different upload flow, different rejection reasons. We’ll cover both ahead of the next lottery window.

If you’re looking for the exact specs for your document right now, the Photo requirements hub has them broken down by country. The blog is for the longer, more situational questions.

More posts coming soon.
