Passport Photo Maker Online — Crop to Common ID Sizes

How it works

1. 1

   Upload a portrait photo

   Choose a recent front-facing photo with even lighting and as plain a background as you can manage.

2. 2

   Select a size template

   Pick US 2×2 in, EU/UK 35×45 mm, or India 3.5×4.5 cm — the crop box locks to that aspect ratio.

3. 3

   Position the crop

   Drag and resize the crop region so your head and shoulders are framed the way your authority requires.

4. 4

   Optional white background

   If your photo needs a plain light background, enable the white fill option before export.

5. 5

   Download

   Save the cropped image and verify size, background, and expression rules on your government website before submitting.

What background color do passport photos usually need?

Many authorities ask for a plain white or off-white background without shadows or patterns. Rules differ by country — read the latest guidance from your issuing agency.

Can I wear glasses in a passport photo?

Rules vary and change over time. For example, US passport guidance has restricted everyday eyeglasses in photos. Check the current rules for your application.

What resolution should I export at?

Our templates export at 300 DPI, which is commonly used for print-quality ID photos. Some online portals specify different pixel dimensions — verify before uploading.
