Common reasons USA Passport photos get rejected

The most common reasons a USA Passport photo is rejected are: wrong dimensions (not 51×51mm), file size over 240KB, a non-white background, shadows on the face or background, wearing glasses or head coverings, a non-neutral expression, or an old photo. 2x2 inches, white background, head centered, no glasses.
