Government offices have strict background requirements that vary by country. A shadow, a patterned wall, or the wrong shade of white can all trigger rejection. Magic Eraser gives you a perfectly uniform background that meets official standards.
Professional Photo Studios Are Expensive
A single passport photo session costs $10–$15 at a drugstore and $25+ at a photography studio. With Magic Eraser you can take your own photo at home and get studio-quality results for free — for yourself and your entire family.
Last-Minute Travel Means No Time for Retakes
When your trip is booked and your passport expires next week, you don't have time for a reshoot. Upload any recent headshot, remove the background, and download a compliant photo in under 30 seconds.
How to Create a Passport Photo with Magic Eraser
Take or Upload Your Headshot
Snap a photo against any wall using your phone, or upload an existing headshot. Make sure your face is well-lit, centered, and both ears are visible.
Remove the Background
Magic Eraser's AI detects your face and hair precisely, removing the background with clean edges — no green screen needed.
Choose Your Background Color
Select white for US, UK, and most EU passports, light blue for many Asian countries, or enter a custom hex code to match your country's exact requirement.
Download and Print
Export your photo at the required dimensions (2×2 inches for US, 35×45 mm for EU) and print at home or at any photo kiosk.
