How it works

  1. 1

    Take a front-facing photo

    Face the camera, neutral expression, even lighting, no shadows on your face.

  2. 2

    Upload — we center it

    The background turns white and your head is centered in a 2×2 in frame.

  3. 3

    Download and print

    Export a 600×600 JPG for online forms, or print it on 4×6 photo paper.

Taking a photo that's likely to be accepted

Stand about a metre from a wall, face a window or a soft light so both sides of your face are evenly lit, and ask someone to take the photo at eye level. Remove hats and, for most documents, glasses. Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed and both eyes open.

Use a recent photo that looks like you today, with no filters or retouching. The tool only changes the background and framing — it doesn't alter your face — which is what most authorities require.

Sizes differ by country

The square 2×2-inch (51×51 mm) format is used for US passports and visas, and 600×600 pixels is a common size for online applications. Many other countries use a 35×45 mm portrait format instead. If yours does, choose the 4:5 crop and adjust the framing, or set a custom export size.

Requirements change and differ per document, so always check the official government page for the current photo rules before submitting.

Frequently asked questions

Will this photo be accepted for my passport?+

We can't guarantee acceptance — each country has its own rules for size, head position, expression and lighting. The tool produces a white background and correct framing; check your government's official requirements before submitting.

What size is a US passport photo?+

US passport photos are 2×2 inches (51×51 mm). For digital submissions, 600×600 pixels is a common requirement. The passport preset exports exactly 600×600.

Can I make a 35×45 mm photo?+

Yes. Choose the 4:5 crop (close to 35×45), center your head, and export at a custom size such as 827×1063 pixels for 600 dpi printing.
