How to Create a Passport Photo

1

Upload a Selfie

Take a photo with your phone or camera. Face the camera straight on, with a neutral expression and even lighting. Then upload it above.

2

Select Country Standard

Choose the passport or ID photo standard for your country. The tool will crop to the correct dimensions, DPI, and aspect ratio automatically.

3

Download & Print

Download your passport photo with a white background. Print it at any photo kiosk or use it for online applications — the DPI is already set correctly.

Passport Photo Requirements by Country

Each country has specific requirements for passport and ID photos. This tool automatically generates photos that match the correct dimensions and DPI for your selected standard.

Country Dimensions (mm) Dimensions (px) DPI Background
🇺🇸 United States 51 × 51 mm 600 × 600 300 White
🇪🇺 European Union 35 × 45 mm 413 × 531 300 White
🇬🇧 United Kingdom 35 × 45 mm 413 × 531 300 White
🇨🇦 Canada 35 × 45 mm 413 × 531 300 White
🇦🇺 Australia 35 × 45 mm 413 × 531 300 White
🇮🇳 India 35 × 45 mm 413 × 531 300 White
🇨🇳 China (Visa) 33 × 48 mm 390 × 567 300 White

Tips for Taking a Passport Photo

You do not need a professional photographer. A smartphone photo taken at home can produce a fully compliant passport photo when paired with this tool. Follow these guidelines for best results:

  • Neutral expression — keep a natural, relaxed face with your mouth closed. Most countries require a neutral expression with both eyes open and clearly visible.
  • Even lighting — face a window or use soft, diffused lighting. Avoid harsh shadows on your face, especially under the nose and chin. Natural daylight from the front works best.
  • Plain background — while the AI will remove any background and replace it with white, starting with a plain, uncluttered background helps the AI produce cleaner edge detection around your hair and shoulders.
  • Face centered — look directly at the camera at eye level. Keep your head straight (not tilted) and center your face in the frame. Include the top of your head and the top of your shoulders.
  • No glasses or headwear — remove glasses (including prescription glasses in most countries), hats, headbands, and any accessories that obscure your face. Religious headwear is typically allowed if it does not cover the face.
  • Proper distance — do not hold the camera too close. Arm’s length or slightly farther is ideal. Too-close photos cause lens distortion that makes your nose appear larger. Using a timer and propping up your phone produces the most natural perspective.

What Makes This Tool Different

Most online passport photo tools simply overlay a template or require you to manually position your face. This tool uses AI-powered background removal (the same U2-Net model as our Remove Background tool) to cleanly separate you from any background — not just solid colors.

  • AI background removal — uses deep learning to detect and isolate you from any background. Works with complex scenes, not just solid colors. Handles hair, shoulders, and fine edges with precision.
  • Automatic crop & resize — the photo is automatically cropped and resized to the exact pixel dimensions required by your selected country standard. No manual positioning needed.
  • Correct DPI embedded — the output file has the correct DPI metadata (300 DPI) embedded, so photo kiosks and printers will produce the exact physical size required.
  • No watermarks — the output is clean, with no branding or watermarks. Many competing tools add watermarks and charge for removal.
  • Completely free — no signup, no credit card, no limits. Create as many photos as you need for any country standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

This tool generates photos that match official size, DPI, and background requirements for each country standard. However, acceptance depends on your local passport office. The photo must also meet requirements you control: neutral expression, eyes open, no glasses or hats, and proper lighting. We recommend using this tool to prepare your photo and then verifying it against your country's official checklist before submitting.
The AI removes your original background and replaces it with a clean white background (#FFFFFF), which is the standard requirement for most countries including the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia. The background is perfectly uniform with no shadows or gradients.
No. A modern smartphone camera is more than sufficient. The key factors are good, even lighting (natural daylight works best), a straight-on angle at eye level, and keeping the camera at arm's length or using a timer. The AI handles background removal and cropping, so you do not need a studio setup.
Yes, you can use a selfie as long as it meets basic quality requirements: the photo should be well-lit, in focus, taken straight-on (not at an angle), and show your full face and the top of your shoulders. Avoid holding the camera too close, as this can cause lens distortion. Using a timer or having someone else take the photo at arm's length produces the best results.
Yes. Each country standard has a specific pixel dimension that corresponds to the required physical size at 300 DPI. For example, the US passport photo is output at 600×600 pixels, which prints to exactly 2×2 inches at 300 DPI. The DPI metadata is embedded in the output file so print shops and photo kiosks will print it at the correct size.
There is no limit. You can create as many passport photos as you need, for any country standard, completely free. There is no signup required, no watermark added, and no hidden fees. All uploads are encrypted via 256-bit SSL and files are automatically deleted from our servers within 2 hours.
