Create Perfect Passport Photos with AI Background Removal
Passport and visa offices reject thousands of photos every day for incorrect backgrounds. Magic Eraser removes any background and replaces it with the exact color you need — white, light gray, or blue — in seconds.

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.
