Make a passport, visa or ID photo at the exact size your document needs, then download it as a single JPG for an online application or as a 4 x 6 in (10 x 15 cm) sheet with several copies to print. Pick your document, drag and zoom the photo until the head fits the guide, and optionally swap the background for plain white or light grey with an AI model that runs on your device. Your photo is never uploaded. The tool takes care of size, framing and background - it does not check expression, lighting or the other rules an official will look at, so read your country's requirements before you submit. The US State Department, HM Passport Office and Canada's IRCC all reject photos altered by software, so for those documents keep the original background and take the photo against a plain white or light wall.

How to use it

  1. Upload a front-facing photo taken against a plain wall in even light.
  2. Choose your country and document.
  3. Drag and zoom until the top of the head and the chin sit between the two ovals, with the face on the centre line.
  4. Optionally replace the background with white or light grey, and check the edges.
  5. Download the single photo, or the print sheet and print it at 100% scale on 4 x 6 in or 10 x 15 cm photo paper.

Frequently asked questions

Will this photo be accepted?

This tool gets the size, the framing and the background right. It cannot check everything an official will look at - a neutral expression, eyes open and visible, even lighting with no shadows, no glasses glare, a photo taken recently and in focus. Check your country's official photo rules before you submit or print.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Cropping, background replacement and the print sheet are all done in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.

How do I print it at the right size?

Download the 4 x 6 in (10 x 15 cm) sheet and order a standard 4 x 6 or 10 x 15 photo print at a shop or online lab, or print it at home on photo paper with scaling set to 100% or 'actual size'. The file is 300 DPI, so each copy comes out at the exact document size. Cut along the thin grey lines.

How does the background replacement work?

An AI model (BiRefNet lite) runs in your browser to separate you from the background, which is then replaced with plain white or light grey. The model is downloaded once (98 to 192 MB depending on your browser) and cached. Check the edges around hair before you use the photo - fine flyaway hair can be cut off or leave a faint halo.

What do the ovals mean?

Where the authority publishes a head size (measured from the chin to the top of the head, including hair), the inner oval is the smallest allowed head and the outer oval the largest. Zoom and drag until the top of the head and the chin sit between the two. For documents without a published head size, a single oval is shown as a centring guide only.

Can I use it for an online application?

Yes - download the single photo, which is a JPEG at the exact pixel size of the document at 300 DPI (for example 600 x 600 px for a US 2 x 2 in photo). Where the authority publishes its own upload size, such as 630 x 810 px under 250 KB for an Indian passport application, a separate 'Download for online upload' button makes that file. Other portals may ask for something else; check what yours needs.
