Frequently Asked Questions

Is pure white background accepted for passport and visa applications?

Yes. The US Department of State, Indian Passport Seva, UK HM Passport Office, and Schengen visa consulates all mandate a plain white or off-white background.

Can I take the photo wearing glasses or head coverings?

Glasses are generally prohibited in passport photos unless medically necessary. Religious headwear is permitted as long as your facial features from chin to forehead are fully visible.

Will the downloaded photo have a watermark?

No. Unlike other online passport makers that charge $5 or stamp watermarks, iEditPDF is 100% free with zero watermarks.
