Important disclaimer

This tool crops, recolors, and lays out photos locally, but it does not run biometric checks or guarantee government acceptance. Always compare the result against the linked official instructions before printing or uploading.

Local browser processing only

1. Upload a straight-on portrait

Processing stays in this browser. The source crop box shows which part of your original image will be used.

2. Choose a reviewed preset

Most official documents expect a plain white or near-white background.

3. Export options

When JPEG is selected, the tool tries a bounded quality search to stay at or below the target without dropping below the safe quality floor.

4. Print-sheet layout

This sheet can fit up to 6 copies at the selected photo size.

  • Use a plain white or off-white background and a recent, straight-on portrait.

Canvas export preserves pixel dimensions, but some viewers ignore embedded printer DPI metadata. Use the pixel and physical-size summary when printing.

What is this Passport Photo Maker?

This passport photo maker turns a portrait into a document-photo working file using reviewed preset dimensions, manual head-position and eye-line guides, optional JPEG file-size targeting, and repeatable print-sheet layouts. The image stays in your browser, and each supported preset shows a review date plus an official reference link so you can compare the result against the latest government instructions.

How to prepare a passport or visa photo

  1. 1Upload a straight-on portrait and confirm that the centered crop box covers the part of the original photo you want to keep.
  2. 2Choose a reviewed preset such as US passport, China 33 × 48 mm, Schengen 35 × 45 mm, India passport, or India visa upload, then compare your face against the manual guide bands.
  3. 3Set a plain background color, choose JPEG or PNG, and enter a target file size when you need a smaller upload-friendly export.
  4. 4Download the single photo or build a 4x6 inch or A4 print sheet with multiple copies, then verify the linked official rules before you print or submit.

When this workflow helps

Preparing a reviewed photo draft before submission

Use country-specific presets, visible framing guides, and linked references to create a careful draft before you upload to an official portal or print at a lab.

Building print-ready copy sheets

Lay out multiple copies on common 4x6 inch or A4 sheets so you can cut them locally after you confirm the official size and background requirements.

Keeping sensitive identity photos local

Crop, recolor, resize, and export document photos in the browser without sending your portrait to this site's server.

Frequently asked questions

Does this guarantee official passport or visa acceptance?

No. This tool does not run biometric validation, face detection, or embassy-specific rule checks. It only prepares local crops, backgrounds, file sizes, and print layouts, so you still need to verify the latest official instructions before submission.

Can it match strict upload size limits?

Often, yes for JPEG. The browser uses a bounded quality search to try to stay at or below the requested file size, but some targets still may not be reachable without unacceptable quality loss. PNG exports preserve pixels but do not reliably support a file-size cap.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The tool uses browser Canvas APIs locally, so your portrait stays on your device while you preview, download, and build print sheets.
