Common Rejection Reasons
Photos are most often rejected for: wrong dimensions (not meeting exact pixel or inch requirements), incorrect background color (must be pure white or light gray depending on the country), face too small or too large in the frame, shadows on the face or background, and wearing glasses in countries that prohibit it (including the US since 2016). The safest approach is to crop your photo slightly larger than required and let the issuing authority's submission portal handle the final crop. Always verify with the U.S. State Department photo requirements for US passport applications.
