Step-by-step guide

How to use the passport photo maker

Make an official passport size photo in under a minute. No app, no signup, no photo editing skills needed.

Step 1: Upload your photo

Click "Upload a photo" on the homepage tool, or drag and drop a JPG or PNG image (up to 10MB). A recent, front-facing photo taken in daylight works best.

Step 2: Choose your document and crop

Pick the preset that matches your application. The crop box locks to the exact official ratio, so you cannot get the shape wrong. Drag to position your face, then confirm.

Step 3: Set the background and download

Choose white, blue, red, or light grey, or tap "Remove background (AI)" to replace a messy room with a clean official backdrop. Then download two files: the exact-pixel digital photo for online portals, and a 4x6 inch print sheet with 6 copies for physical applications.

How to make a passport size photo on your mobile

No computer needed. Open this site in your mobile browser (Chrome or Safari), tap the upload area, and choose a photo from your gallery or take a new one with the camera. The cropper works with touch: drag to move, pinch the corners to resize. Pick your document preset, set the background, and download. The whole process takes under a minute on a phone.
