Passport & ID Photo Maker

Make a passport or ID photo at home

Official photo booths are slow and expensive, yet the rules are simple enough to follow at home. This passport photo maker crops any head-and-shoulders picture to the exact proportions required by common documents, places it on the plain white background that most governments demand, and exports a print-ready file at 300 DPI. You can take the photo with a phone against a white wall, drop it in here and have a compliant image in seconds.

Everything happens in your browser. The photo is decoded into a canvas, displayed under a face guide overlay and cropped locally when you press download. Because there is no upload step, your personal identification photo never leaves your device. A faint oval and eye-line guide help you position the head at the right height and size, which is the single most common reason photos get rejected at a passport office.

Sizes and print resolution

The presets cover the formats people ask for most: the United States 2x2 inch square, the European 35x45mm Schengen and UK size, and a larger 50x70mm visa format. Each preset exports at 300 dots per inch, so a 2x2 inch photo becomes a crisp 600x600 pixel image. You can print several copies on a single 4x6 inch sheet at any photo lab, or upload the file directly when an application accepts a digital photo.

Tips for an accepted photo

Use even, soft lighting with no harsh shadows on the face or background. Keep a neutral expression, eyes open and mouth closed, and remove hats or tinted glasses unless worn for medical or religious reasons. Position your head so it fills the oval guide without touching the edges and your eyes rest near the upper guide line. When everything lines up, export the JPG and review it at full size before printing or submitting.
