Convert a Photo to Passport Size
Photo to Passport turns a normal portrait into a correctly proportioned passport size photo. Start with a sharp, recent image taken straight on. Select the country whose document you are applying for, then use the crop guide to place your head and shoulders. The maker applies the selected preset's aspect ratio and prepares a high-resolution file for download. You remain responsible for checking the current rules of the issuing authority, because passport photo standards vary by country and can change.
The editor is free to use and works without an account. Your selected photograph and every image-derived result stay in your browser. The site does not upload or store them, so you can create a passport photo without sending the source image to Photo to Passport.
How the Passport Size Photo Maker Works
1. Choose a country
Select the preset for the passport or travel document you need. Its crop shape, output dimensions and guidance are loaded into the tool.
2. Select your photo
Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image from your device. Large images are reduced to a sensible working resolution locally before editing.
3. Adjust the crop
Use the visible zoom and position controls, or the keyboard alternatives, to align your face with the guide. Face detection assists framing only; it does not identify you.
4. Review and download
Check the preview and official requirements, then download a JPEG, PNG or a printable sheet. Nothing is submitted automatically.
Crop and Resize a Photo to Passport Size
A useful passport crop is about more than matching the outer width and height. The face must also sit at the appropriate scale and position, with enough clear space around the head. Begin with a photo that includes the whole head and upper shoulders; an image cropped too tightly at capture time cannot be repaired later. Use the on-screen frame and zoom buttons for controlled adjustments. Fine position controls let you move the image without relying on dragging, and the reset action returns to a safe starting crop.
Background removal is optional and runs on your device. Inspect hair, ears and clothing edges carefully after using it. If the original background already meets the authority's rules, keeping it often gives the most natural result.
Passport Size Photo Dimensions
“Passport size” is not a universal measurement. Each issuing authority sets its own dimensions, head-size guidance, background and file rules. Choose the exact destination preset rather than resizing by guesswork. Our country data records an official source and the date it was last verified, but you should still confirm the latest instructions for your application.
Make a Passport Size Photo at Home
Use soft, even light from in front of you and avoid strong shadows across the face or wall. Place the camera at eye level, look directly into the lens and keep it steady. Use a plain background that contrasts with your hair and clothing. Ask another person to take the picture when possible, because a rear camera used from a comfortable distance usually produces a more natural perspective than a close selfie.
Keep a neutral expression where required, leave both eyes visible and remove anything that obscures facial features. Do not use beauty filters or edits that change your appearance. Requirements for glasses, head coverings and children's photos differ, so read the country-specific official guidance before taking the final image.
Print Passport Size Photos
The print-sheet option arranges multiple copies on standard photo paper. Download the sheet only after checking the crop and image quality. In the printer dialog, choose the matching paper size and print at actual size or 100% scale. Disable “fit to page” and other automatic scaling, which can change the physical photo dimensions. Printer margins and browser settings vary, so measure one printed copy before cutting the full sheet.
Private Passport Photo Processing
Photo processing happens locally in your browser. The selected image, filename, crop, canvas output, face landmarks and background mask are not uploaded, logged, stored, sold, shared for advertising or used for AI training. Hosting and CDN providers may still process ordinary technical request data when they deliver the site files, but those requests do not contain your photograph or image-derived data.

Passport Size Photo FAQs
What size is a passport photo?
There is no single worldwide passport photo size. The required dimensions depend on the issuing authority. Current examples from our verified presets are USA: 2 × 2 in (50.8 × 50.8 mm); India: 35 × 45 mm; Canada: 50 × 70 mm. Always check the official source for your application. Compare passport photo dimensions by country.
What should I wear for a passport photo?
Wear normal everyday clothing that contrasts with the required background. Avoid uniforms, camouflage and anything that hides your face. Religious or medical head coverings may be permitted, but your full facial features should remain visible unless the issuing authority states otherwise.
How do I make a passport size photo?
Choose the country preset, select a clear photo, position your face within the crop guide, choose an allowed background option and download the finished image. Review the official issuing-authority requirements before submitting it.
How do I take a passport photo at home?
Use a phone or camera at eye level in even light. Stand in front of a plain background, face the camera directly and keep a neutral expression. Leave room around your head and shoulders so the image can be cropped accurately.
How do I print a passport size photo?
Create the photo, open the print-sheet controls and download a sheet containing multiple copies. Print at actual size or 100% scale with borderless resizing and fit-to-page options disabled, then confirm the printed dimensions with a ruler. Read the passport photo printing guide.
