How to use

Purpose

Free passport / ID / visa photo maker with country-specific size presets — US passport (2×2 inch, 51×51mm), UK passport (35×45mm), Schengen visa, Canadian PR, Chinese 1-inch/2-inch, and many more. AI-powered background removal swaps the original backdrop for compliant solid colors (white, light blue, red, gray). Everything runs in your browser — your face photo never leaves your device, which is critical because passport photos contain identity-sensitive biometric data.

Steps

  1. Upload a front-facing, well-lit headshot (white wall or even lighting recommended)
  2. Pick the target size: US passport (2×2 inch, 600×600px at 300DPI), UK 35×45mm, Chinese 1-inch (25×35mm) etc.
  3. AI segments out the original background, including hair edges
  4. Pick the target background color (white for most passports, light blue, red, etc.)
  5. Fine-tune: center the face, adjust scale, refine edges
  6. Download single photo, or use the print-layout tool to fit multiple copies on a 4×6 photo print

FAQ

Which country's passport size do I need?
US passport requires 2×2 inch (51×51mm) at 300 DPI, white background; UK 35×45mm; Canadian 50×70mm; Schengen 35×45mm. We include presets for 30+ countries — match the country requirement exactly.
Why white background for US passport?
US State Department requires plain white or off-white. Any patterns, shadows, or non-uniform background will be rejected. Our AI cleanly swaps to compliant white.
How accurate is the AI segmentation? Does it handle hair?
We use the @imgly/background-removal WASM model — hair edges come out clean in well-lit photos. Poor lighting or hair matching the background may need manual refinement (paintbrush tool included).
Can I make several sizes from one photo?
Yes. After one upload, switch size presets without re-uploading. Make a US passport + a visa + a job application headshot all from one source.
Is my photo uploaded?
Never. The segmentation model, color swap, and crop all run in your browser via WebAssembly. Your face stays on your device. This is critical for biometric identity data.
