Before you take it
- Stand a step in front of a plain white wall, with nothing behind you.
- Face a window or soft light: even light on the face, no shadows on it or behind.
- Phone at eye level, about 1.5 m away: ask someone, or hold it at arm's length.
- Glasses only with no tint and no glare on them.
Check and make your photo
The first photo loads the face finder and the background outline from this site, about 15 MB, once.
We made the background plain, as the rules ask. Turn it off to see your original.
The new background follows an outline of you found in this page. Around fine or loose hair its edge can look soft: look closely, and if it does, retake against a plain wall.
The whole photo's brightness and colour, and any shadow on the wall behind you. Your face is never retouched, smoothed or reshaped.

Spain's passport and DNI rules ask for a recent colour photo 32 mm high by 26 mm wide on a plain white background, printed on good photo paper. Some police DNI offices can take the photo themselves. Spanish consulates abroad may ask for a different size or two photos (consulates in Germany ask for 30 to 40 mm wide and no photo-booth prints), so check your consulate's page first.

How to use it

- Tap Take the photo and follow the outline and the tips on screen, or choose a photo you have. The page finds your face and frames it to the rules.

- Tick what only you can confirm.
- Save the file, or the print sheet to print at 100% on 4 x 6 inch photo paper.
Questions
- What size is the Spanish passport photo?
- Printed, 26 x 32 mm. These are the official rules as checked on 4 November 2026. This page makes a 307 x 378 pixel JPEG file (the printed size at 300 dpi).
- What background does the Spanish passport photo need?
- Plain, uniform white.
- Can I wear glasses in my Spanish passport photo?
- Yes, but only with no tint and no glare, and with your eyes clearly visible.
- Can I wear a head covering in my Spanish passport photo?
- DNI: head fully uncovered; religious or medical head coverings accepted only if the whole oval of the face stays visible (consulates: 'se aceptan prendas que dejen visible el óvalo de la cara').
- Can I take my Spanish passport photo at home?
- The official rules, as checked on 4 November 2026, ask for no photographer or studio, so a photo taken at home can meet them if it meets every rule on this page.
- Is my photo uploaded?
- No. The photo is read and checked in your browser, and any file is saved on your device. The page tells our server only that a photo was checked, that it passed, or that a file was saved; never the photo, your face or any measurement. It finds where your face is in the photo; it never recognises who you are.
- How is the head measured?
- The page finds your chin and eyes in the photo and estimates the top of your head from your forehead, since hair hides it: the dashed line shows the estimate. If it is not at the top of your head, move it with Top of head and the checks follow.
- Will my photo be accepted?
- Only the issuing authority decides. A photo that passes every check here meets the published size, head and background rules as checked on 4 November 2026; you confirm the rest, such as glasses, expression and how recent the photo is.
- How do I print it?
- Save the print sheet: a 4 x 6 inch (10 x 15 cm) photo at 300 dpi with as many copies as fit and thin lines to cut along. Have it printed at 100% (actual size) on 4 x 6 inch photo paper at a photo lab or shop, then cut out the copies you need.
- What does buying your Spanish passport photo add?
- Your Spanish passport photo, €6.99: the exact 307 x 378 px file, the 4 x 6 in print sheet, the acceptance report, the Detail check, unlimited retakes and the whole family's photos for this document for 30 days. Pay only once your photo passes. Refund if the authority rejects it. Paid once, with no subscription. In the Detail check our AI model, run in the EU, checks glasses, expression, shadows and more if you choose to send it the photo. Without buying you can check any photo and save a small preview with a watermark.
