About this tool
Take a photo against a light wall, choose the required size (passport, visa, ID card) and place the face inside the guide. The tool prepares the photo at the right size and a sheet ready to print at home or at a photo printing service. Always check your country's official rules: no photo is guaranteed to be accepted.
When to use it
Passport or ID card
Prepare the photo in your country's size before printing it or attaching it to an online application.
Visa application
Sizes depend on the destination: 2 × 2 in, 35 × 45 mm, 33 × 48 mm…
Badge, student or transit card
A sharp photo in the right size, without paying for a photo booth.
How to use
- Choose the required size and the type of sheet.
- Choose a photo taken from the front, against a plain, light background.
- Place the frame: top of the head at the top of the oval, chin at the bottom.
- Click “Create photo and sheet”, then print the sheet at 100%.
How it works
The photo is cropped to the exact proportions of the size, then saved at 300 DPI: the size in millimeters is kept when printing.
The PDF sheet has the real paper size (A4 or 4 × 6 in) with thin cutting lines; the JPG version suits photo printing services.
Everything happens in your browser: your photo is never uploaded to a server.
Tips for best results
- Have someone else take the photo, about 1.5 m away, with the camera at eye level.
- Face a window in front of a white or light grey wall to avoid shadows.
- Print on matte or glossy photo paper, as required by your country.
- For an online application, use the JPG photo alone; reduce its size with “Compress an image to 50 KB” if the website requires it.
Common problems and fixes
The printed photo is the wrong size
The print was scaled. Print the PDF at 100% or “actual size”, not “fit to page”.
The head does not fit in the oval
The original photo is too tight. Retake it from a little further away to leave space above the head and below the chin.
The background is not plain
The tool does not remove the background. Retake the photo against a plain, light wall with no shadow.
Frequently asked questions
Will the photo be accepted by the authorities?
We cannot guarantee it: every country and document has its own rules (background, expression, glasses, how recent the photo is). Always check the official requirements.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping and the sheet are created in your browser and your photo never leaves your device.
What size is a US passport photo?
2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm), with a head height of 1 to 1⅜ inches (25 to 35 mm).
What size for a UK or European passport?
Usually 35 × 45 mm, with a head height of 32 to 36 mm from chin to top of head.
Where can I print the sheet?
At home on photo paper, or at a photo kiosk or lab by ordering a 4 × 6 print with the JPG file.
