A rejected passport photo means another trip and another fee, usually over something small: the head was a few millimetres too big, the background had a shadow, or the file was the wrong size. This tool bakes each country’s official framing into on-screen guides so you can get it right the first time, entirely inside your browser.
Choose your country and the canvas switches to that exact print size — 2×2 inches for the US, 35×45 mm for the UK, EU, India and Australia, 50×70 mm for Canada — at 300 DPI. Drag and zoom your photo until your eyes sit on the guide line and your head fills the oval, pick a compliant background colour, and export. Because everything happens locally, your face never leaves your device.
Real specifications for six countries
US, UK, EU/Schengen, India, Canada and Australia are built in, each with the correct pixel dimensions, print size, background colour and head-height rules. The crown, eye-line and chin guides move to match whichever country you pick, so you are always framing to that authority’s standard rather than guessing.
Line up the face, not the maths
Instead of measuring millimetres by hand, you position your photo against a face oval and a green eye-line. On Chrome and Edge an optional “Auto-fit face” uses the browser’s built-in face detector to place you automatically; everywhere else you drag and zoom to fit. What you see in the frame is exactly what downloads.
The right size and background, exported cleanly
Export is rendered at the precise pixel dimensions for the document (for example 600×600 for the US) with your chosen white, off-white or light-grey fill. Download a print-ready JPG or a PNG. For a truly clean background from a busy photo, run it through Remove Background first, then bring the cut-out here.
Private by design
Passport photos are sensitive — they are your face on an identity document. Every other online passport tool uploads that image to a server. This one never does: the cropping, framing and background fill all run on your own machine with the Canvas API.

Frequently asked questions
Which countries are supported?
The US (2×2 in), the UK, the EU/Schengen area, India and Australia (35×45 mm), and Canada (50×70 mm), each with its official size, background colour and head-height guidance.
Does my photo get uploaded?
No. The entire tool runs in your browser using the Canvas API, so your photo — and your face — never leave your device.
Can it remove the background automatically?
This tool fills a compliant background colour behind your framing. For a clean cut-out from a busy or coloured background, use the Remove Background tool first, then upload the transparent result here.
Will the size be accepted by the passport office?
The export matches each country’s published pixel dimensions and print size at 300 DPI. Requirements can change, so always confirm the current rules with your issuing authority before submitting.
