Free UK passport photo file checker
Check your digital photo’s pixel dimensions and file size in your own browser, then complete a visual checklist before you order.
Check your original file
Choose a JPEG, PNG or WebP image from your device.
This tool reads the image locally in your browser. It does not upload, store, alter or retouch the file.
What the checker cannot see
Passing the file checks is not the same as passing the passport-photo rules.
It cannot reliably detect shadows, glare, red-eye or an unsuitable background.
It does not determine whether a photograph was filtered, retouched or digitally changed.
Use it as a pre-check only: dimensions and file size can be measured automatically; the visual requirements still need human review and HM Passport Office makes the final acceptance decision.
Next steps
If the file passes, review the full UK rules before ordering.

FAQs
Passport photo checker questions.
Does this upload my photo?
No. The selected image is read locally by JavaScript in your browser for dimensions and file size.
Can this checker guarantee HM Passport Office acceptance?
No. It only checks measurable file properties and your self-review checklist. HM Passport Office makes the final acceptance decision.
Why does the tool allow PNG and WebP?
Those are image types this browser tool can read. That is a checker capability, not a statement that every file type is accepted by every passport-photo route.
What if my dimensions are below 600×750?
Use a higher-resolution original photograph. Do not stretch or retouch a low-quality image just to reach the minimum dimensions.
