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
- Upload a front-facing, well-lit headshot (white wall or even lighting recommended)
- Pick the target size: US passport (2×2 inch, 600×600px at 300DPI), UK 35×45mm, Chinese 1-inch (25×35mm) etc.
- AI segments out the original background, including hair edges
- Pick the target background color (white for most passports, light blue, red, etc.)
- Fine-tune: center the face, adjust scale, refine edges
- 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.
