FAQ
What size and background does a Singapore passport photo need?

What are the Singapore ICA online digital photo requirements?
For the ICA online system, the digital photo must be 400 x 514 px, saved as a JPEG file of 1 MB or less, on a plain white background. LocalID Photo can produce this exact digital size in your browser for free.
Can I use a selfie or a photo from my phone?
Yes. You can upload a photo taken on your phone as long as your face is clearly visible, well lit and facing the camera against a plain background. The tool crops and resizes it to the exact Singapore size and requirements for you.
Is it really free, and is my photo uploaded anywhere?
It is 100% free with no watermark and no sign-up. Your photo is processed entirely inside your browser and is never uploaded to any server, so it stays private on your own device.
