How to make a passport size photo online

Create a compliant passport or ID photo in your browser in under two minutes.

1

Upload a portrait

Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP photo (or paste from the clipboard). Face the camera straight on with even lighting.

2

Choose the country preset

Select US, India, UK, Schengen, Canada or another standard. The frame switches to the exact mm size at 300 DPI and shows head-height guides.

3

Frame the face

Drag to position, scroll or slide to zoom, and straighten with the rotate slider until the crown and chin sit inside the guide lines.

4

Fix the background

Pick "Replace background" to remove the original background with AI and fill it with white or the colour your country requires.

5

Download

Save the single photo as a 300 DPI JPG or PNG (optionally under a KB limit) or a 4×6 / A4 print sheet with cut marks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is a passport photo?
It depends on the country. The US and India use 2×2 inches (51×51 mm). The UK, Schengen countries, Australia and Japan use 35×45 mm. Canada uses 50×70 mm and China 33×48 mm. Pick the preset and the tool sets the exact pixel size at 300 DPI, e.g. 600×600 px for 2×2 in and 413×531 px for 35×45 mm.
How big should the head be in a passport photo?
Each country defines a chin-to-crown range: US 25–35 mm (1–1 3/8 in), UK 29–34 mm, Schengen 32–36 mm, Canada 31–36 mm, India 70–80% of the frame. The editor overlays the crown, eye and chin lines for the selected preset — zoom and drag until the head fits between the yellow crown lines and the chin sits on the red line.
Can it make the background white?
Yes. Choose "Replace background", and an AI segmentation model runs in your browser to cut out the person. Then pick white, off-white, light grey, blue or any custom colour. The model (about 15–40 MB) is downloaded once and cached. If you are offline or on a very old device, keep the original background and photograph against a plain wall instead.
Does the download really print at the correct size?
Yes. The JPG and PNG are written with 300 DPI metadata, so when a photo lab or printer uses "actual size", a 600×600 px file comes out exactly 2×2 inches. For home printing use the print-sheet download, select your paper size and print at 100% scale (disable "fit to page").
How do I get a passport photo under 240 KB or 20 KB for an online application?
Set "Max file size" before downloading the JPG. The tool lowers JPEG quality (and, if needed, resolution) step by step until the file fits under the limit. The US DS-160 accepts up to 240 KB; many Indian government portals ask for 20–50 KB.
Can I use a selfie or phone photo?
Yes, as long as the face is front-on, evenly lit, in focus and not too close. Use the rear camera or ask someone to take it from about 1.5 m away, then crop here. Avoid glasses glare, hats, filters and heavy shadows — most rejections are for lighting and expression, not size.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The cropping, background removal and file export all run in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device, and nothing is stored by ToolsBear.
