Supports: JPG, PNG, WebPLet me guess — you just found out you need a passport, visa, or ID photo, and the nearest photo shop is either closed, expensive, or a 20-minute drive away. I've been there. The rules are oddly specific too: exact millimeters, a particular background color, "neutral expression," no shadows. It's easy to get one small detail wrong and have your application bounced back.
That's why I built this passport size photo maker. Upload a photo, pick your country (or enter a custom size), line your face up with the guide, clean up the background, and download a print-ready photo — or a full sheet ready to print at home or drop off at any print shop. No uploads to a server, no account, no watermark.
A while back I needed a visa photo on a Sunday evening, with an appointment first thing Monday morning. Every photo booth nearby was closed. I ended up propping my phone against a stack of books, taking a photo against my kitchen wall, and trying to crop it to the right size in an app that had no idea what "35×45mm" meant.
So I built the tool I wished existed that night — one that actually knows the standard sizes for different countries, shows you exactly where your head should sit in the frame, and lets you swap in a plain background if your wall isn't quite white enough. I use it now for every passport renewal, visa application, and even employee ID photos for my small team.
Example: A traveler applying for a visa the night before their appointment.
Example: Renewing a passport by mail without visiting a photo counter.
Example: An office manager collecting ID photos from a small team.
Example: A parent getting a passport photo for a baby or toddler.
Yes, completely free, with no account, no watermark, and no limit on how many photos you create.
This tool follows commonly published size and background guidelines, but requirements can change and vary by country and by document type. Always check your destination's current official requirements before submitting — the compliance checklist in the tool is a helpful self-check, not an official guarantee.
It works best on plain, evenly lit backgrounds — a wall, a sheet, or a simple backdrop. Busy or patterned backgrounds, or ones with strong shadows, are harder for any browser-based tool to remove cleanly. If it doesn't fully catch your background, try increasing the removal sensitivity or retaking the photo with a more even backdrop.
No. Every step — cropping, background removal, adjustments, and export — happens directly in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Use the "Custom Size" option and enter your required width, height, unit, and DPI directly — the tool will calculate the correct pixel dimensions automatically.
The single download gives you one photo at the exact size you need. The print sheet arranges multiple copies of that same photo onto a larger page (like 4×6 inches) with thin cut guides, so you can print several copies at once at a pharmacy kiosk, print shop, or home printer.
Yes. It works the same way — upload the photo, align the head guide, and adjust as needed. For babies, many countries allow the photo to be taken lying down on a plain sheet; you can rotate and crop afterward to meet the upright framing requirement.
The sliders apply real color adjustments so you can compensate for photos taken in dim or overly warm lighting. Small adjustments usually look the most natural — heavy adjustments can start to look artificial.
Repositioning is locked once the background is removed, since the removal is based on your current framing. Use "Undo Background Removal" to unlock repositioning again, then reapply the background removal once you're happy with the crop.
300 DPI is the standard for print-quality passport and ID photos and is set as the default. You can increase it for very small photos or decrease it if a specific requirement calls for something lower.
Yes — download the print sheet and print it at actual size (turn off "fit to page" in your printer settings) on photo paper for the cleanest result.
You don't need a studio appointment for a compliant photo — just decent lighting, a plain-ish background, and a couple of minutes here. Upload a photo, pick your country, and see how close you can get to a print-ready result right now.
If you run into a size that isn't listed, or have feedback on what would make this more useful, I'd love to hear about it — I'm actively improving this tool based on real feedback.
