Generate compliant passport photos at home

Skip the photo studio. Upload a well-lit portrait and the tool automatically removes the background, applies a white backdrop, crops to official dimensions, and checks that the head size falls within government guidelines. Print-ready files are included.

Features

1

Country-specific templates

Presets for US (2 x 2 in, 600 x 600 px), UK (35 x 45 mm), EU/Schengen (35 x 45 mm), Canada (50 x 70 mm), India (51 x 51 mm), and more. Each template enforces the correct head-to-frame ratio.

2

AI background removal

Powered by the same model as Background Eraser, the tool automatically removes any background and replaces it with a clean white or light-grey backdrop as required by passport authorities.

3

Head-size validation

The tool measures the distance from the chin to the crown and verifies it falls within the acceptable range — typically 25–35 mm (70–80 % of frame height) — flagging violations before you print.

4

Print-ready output

Download a single photo at 300 DPI or a 4 x 6 in sheet with multiple copies arranged for standard photo printing at home or at a drugstore kiosk.

How to use

1

Take a photo

Stand in front of a plain wall with even lighting. Face the camera directly with a neutral expression. Use a smartphone or digital camera.

2

Upload and select country

Drop the photo into the tool and choose your destination country or document type from the dropdown. The tool loads the correct dimensions and rules.

3

Review compliance

The tool crops, removes the background, and checks head size. Green indicators mean the photo passes; red flags highlight issues to fix before printing.

4

Download and print

Download the single photo at 300 DPI or the multi-copy 4 x 6 sheet. Print at home on glossy photo paper, or send to a local print shop.

Common questions

Will government offices accept photos made with this tool?

+

The tool follows the published dimension, background, and head-size rules for each country. However, acceptance ultimately depends on the reviewing officer. We recommend taking a well-lit, high-resolution photo with a neutral expression for the best chance of approval.

Do I need a white wall behind me?

+

No. The AI background removal handles any backdrop — textured walls, outdoor scenes, even cluttered rooms. For best results, ensure your face and shoulders are well lit and free from harsh shadows.

Can I use this for visa or ID card photos?

+

Yes. In addition to passport presets, the tool includes templates for common visa sizes and national ID cards. Select the appropriate document type from the dropdown to load the correct dimensions.

Need a sharper passport photo?

If your source image is low resolution or slightly blurry, run it through AI Enhance before uploading to the passport maker. The enhancer upscales and sharpens faces while preserving natural skin tones.
