Passport Photo Maker

Turn any photo into a print-ready passport or visa picture without uploading it anywhere. Pick an official size, choose a plain background color, and the tool fills the target with a centered cover crop so faces are never stretched. It exports at the exact pixel count for the chosen size and DPI, so a photo lab prints it at the correct physical dimensions. Everything happens on your device.

How to make a passport photo

  1. Drop in a clear, front-facing photo with even lighting.
  2. Choose your country or document preset, or set a custom size and DPI.
  3. Pick a background color, then download the PNG or JPEG at the exact print size.

Examples

A 4032 x 3024 JPEG taken against a white wall
Centered, cropped, and exported at 600 x 600 px (2 x 2 in at 300 DPI)

Frequently asked questions

What size should a passport photo be?

It depends on the country. US and India passports use 2 x 2 inches; the UK, Schengen, and Australia use 35 x 45 mm; Canada uses 50 x 70 mm. Pick the matching preset and the tool sets the exact pixels for you.

Why does DPI matter for a passport photo?

Print labs work at a fixed dots-per-inch, usually 300. Exporting the exact pixel count for your size at that DPI is the only way the printed photo lands at the right physical dimensions, so a 2 x 2 inch photo becomes 600 x 600 pixels.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The crop and resize run entirely in your browser using the Canvas API, so your photo never leaves your device. That keeps a sensitive ID photo private.

How does the cropping work?

The tool uses a centered cover crop: it fills the whole target frame at the correct aspect ratio and trims the overflow, so your face is never squashed or stretched. Center the subject before exporting.

Should the background be white?

Most passport and visa rules require a plain light background, usually white or off-white. The background color defaults to white and fills any area not covered by your photo, but it cannot replace a busy background already in the shot.
