About passport photo maker
A passport-size photo has strict rules for dimensions, framing and background. This tool crops and sizes your picture to dimensions you choose.
Take a good source photo
Use even light with no shadows on the face or background, look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, and keep the head and shoulders centred. A plain light background is requested by most offices.
Always confirm the requirements
Dimensions, background colour and the size of the face in the frame differ between countries and applications. Enter the size given in your application's instructions, and check the official guidance before printing or uploading.
Common reasons for rejection
- Shadows, glare or red eyes.
- Glasses with reflections, or a head covering where it is not permitted.
- A background that is not plain or not the requested colour.
- A file that is too large or too small for the upload limit.
