About YepPhoto

U.S. passport photo crops, print sheets, and a checklist, in your browser. YepPhoto lets you crop your own photo to 2 × 2 inches in your browser, with a head-size guide drawn on the crop frame. You go through a checklist yourself, then save a digital photo for an online renewal or a print sheet for 4 x 6 in or Letter paper. No sign-up, no account.

Your photo stays on your device. YepPhoto works on it in your browser and doesn't send it to a server. The Privacy Policy explains what's collected when you visit.

Where the requirements come from

The requirements come only from the U.S. Department of State's own pages. YepPhoto summarizes them in its own words and shows the source page and the date its text was retrieved with each summary. The printed photo requirements and digital photo pages give the summaries, and the Methods and Sources page explains how the guide and the print sheets are worked out.

What YepPhoto doesn't do

YepPhoto only crops your photo, scales it down, turns it in 90-degree steps, and saves the result as a JPEG.

• It doesn't replace the background, retouch your face, adjust color or brightness, apply filters, or rotate by any other angle. Treating the steps above as not changing the photo is this site's reading of the State Department's pages, not a statement from the Department. The Methods and Sources page explains why.
• It doesn't tell you whether your photo will be accepted. It doesn't detect faces or measure your head; the guide and the checklist are for you to check against.
• It doesn't send your photo over the network.

The U.S. Department of State decides whether a photo is accepted.
