Overview

``text This tool crops and formats a photo to passport, visa, or ID specs in your browser. Pick a country preset (US 2x2", India 2x2", UK 35x45mm) or a custom size and DPI, set a background colour, adjust brightness, and download a single photo or a print-ready PDF sheet of multiple copies. ``

```text Getting an ID photo to the right size and layout is fiddly. This maker handles it: choose the format your document needs, position your face in the crop frame, tidy up the lighting, and download either a single correctly-sized image or a sheet with several copies ready to print at a photo lab or at home.

Everything runs in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded — which matters for a biometric image. A quick, honest note: the tool gets the dimensions and resolution right, but whether a photo is accepted also depends on your pose, expression, lighting, and background following the official rules, so check your authority's guidelines too. ```

How to use it

Step 1: Upload your photo — drag in or click Upload Image (JPG or PNG)

Upload your photo — drag in or click Upload Image (JPG or PNG). A plain, evenly-lit background works best.

Step 2: Choose the size — pick a preset (US 2x2", India 2x2", UK 35x45mm) or enter a custom width, height, unit, and DPI (300 is standard for print)

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is a US, India, or UK passport photo?

The US and India both use a 2 x 2 inch (51 x 51 mm) square photo for passports and visas, while the UK uses 35 x 45 mm. This tool has presets for all three, and a Custom option for any other size. For the US, official guidance puts the head roughly 1 to 1.375 inches from chin to crown, which the crop overlay helps you frame.

Is it safe to use my personal photo here?

Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser using client-side processing, so your photo is never uploaded to a server — important for a biometric image. Nothing is stored once you close the tab. For extra privacy before submitting a photo online, you can strip GPS and camera data from it first with the Image Metadata Viewer.

Will my photo definitely be accepted by the passport office?

The tool gets the size, crop, and resolution right, which removes a common reason for rejection. But acceptance also depends on things it can't judge — your expression, head position, even lighting, and a plain background, all following your authority's rules. Treat this as a formatting tool, and check the official photo guidelines to be sure your shot complies.

How do I print passport photos at home?

Use the "Download Print Sheet" option. It tiles several copies of your photo onto a standard sheet (4x6, 5x7, 6x8, or A4) and exports a 300-DPI PDF, so you can print a strip on photo paper at home or at a print kiosk without wasting space. Choose how many copies you want before downloading.

Can I change the background colour?

Yes — there are White, Light Blue, Red, and Transparent options for the backdrop. For a clean colour result, it's best to start from a photo taken against a plain, evenly-lit wall, since the swatch sets the background colour rather than performing a complex cut-out. White is the most commonly required colour for passports and visas.

Can I set a custom size for another country?

Yes. Choose "Custom Size" and enter the exact width and height in inches, millimetres, or pixels, plus the DPI. This covers countries and documents not in the presets — Schengen visas, specific national ID cards, or any unusual requirement — so you can match whatever dimensions your form specifies.

What is DPI and why does it matter?

DPI (dots per inch) sets how many pixels are packed into each printed inch. Photo prints need 300 DPI to look sharp, which is why the print sheet is generated at 300 DPI. If the DPI is too low, a printed photo can look soft or pixelated, so keep it at 300 for any photo you intend to print.

How big should my head be in the frame?

For most passport and visa photos, your head (chin to the top of your hair) should fill roughly 70–80% of the frame and be centred. Use the zoom slider and drag to position your face within the crop overlay until it sits in that range. Getting the head size right is one of the most common requirements.

Can I adjust the brightness of my photo?

Yes. There are Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation sliders to correct a photo that's a little dark, flat, or washed out. Passport photos usually need even, natural lighting, so small adjustments can help — but avoid heavy edits that change your appearance, as that can cause a rejection.

What file formats can I use and download?

You can upload JPG or PNG, and download a single high-quality image or a print-sheet PDF. If a specific government portal requires a JPEG and you've downloaded a PNG, convert it with the PNG to JPG tool. If the file is too large for an upload limit, shrink it with the Image Compressor.

Can I make several copies on one sheet?

Yes. In the Download Sheet section, choose your print sheet size and set the Number of Photos, and the tool arranges that many copies of your photo on the page as a PDF. This is the most economical way to print — you get a full strip of identical photos from a single sheet of photo paper.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The maker has a mobile layout with pinch-to-zoom and touch controls, plus separate buttons to download the single image or the PDF sheet, so you can crop and format an ID photo on Android or iOS. Nothing is installed — it runs in the phone's browser.
