Passport photo maker

Drop a photo here

JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC. Files stay on this device.

The passport photo maker puts a photo into the size a passport, ID or visa application asks for. Built-in presets include Türkiye biometric, Türkiye vesikalık, US, Schengen and EU, UK, Canada, India, China visa, Japan and Korea. If none fits, you can enter your own width and height in millimetres.

People use it to turn a photo taken at home against a wall into a file and a print sheet for an application, without looking for a photo studio first. The photo stays in your browser.

How to use

  1. Drop the photo in the area or open it with Choose photo. JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC are accepted.
  2. Pick the document from the Document list. The frame proportions and the guides for your face (Crown, Chin, Eyes) change to match, and the text shows the head height range.
  3. Drag the photo inside the frame, pinch with two fingers or use the Zoom slider. Arrow keys move it, Shift makes bigger steps, and plus and minus zoom. Your head should sit on the guides. Use Straighten and Turn to fix a tilt if needed.
  4. Adjust Brightness and Contrast. If the background is a light wall, turn on Whiten background and use Tolerance to set how strong it is.
  5. Under Save as, choose Single photo to enter a kB limit in Max file size, or Print sheet to choose the Paper (10×15 cm or A4) and the File type (JPG or PDF). Then press Download.

When it helps

Many application forms limit file size and pixel dimensions, for example to under 100 kB. In single photo mode you type the limit and the tool tries to bring the file below it. If that can't be done at that size, it tells you the smallest file it can make.

The print sheet arranges as many copies as fit on one sheet and draws grey cutting lines. You can have it printed as 10×15 at home or at a nearby photo studio and cut it yourself.

Tips

  • The sizes and head height ranges follow published rules, but authorities change them and some offices are stricter. Check the issuing authority's current requirements before you apply.
  • Whiten background only brightens a light wall; it does not remove a busy background. Take the photo in front of a plain white or light grey wall.
  • The saved JPG is 300 dpi, carries no EXIF data such as location, and uses sRGB colours.
  • If a photo is enlarged a lot inside the frame, the tool warns you, and a small photo blown up will print soft.
  • When you print the sheet, choose 100 % or actual size in the print dialog and turn off fit to page.

Questions

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The photo is framed and saved in your browser and never leaves your device. The saved JPG carries no EXIF data such as the location, and its colours are sRGB.

Do the sizes and head guides match the official rules?

The presets use the published size and head height for each document, but authorities change their rules and some offices are stricter. Check the current requirements on the issuing authority's website before you apply.

What makes a good biometric photo?

Stand in front of a plain white or light grey wall with even light, look straight at the camera with a neutral face and closed mouth, and avoid glare on glasses. Whiten background only brightens a light wall; it does not remove a busy background, so take the photo against a plain wall.

How do I print the sheet at the right size?

Print the 10×15 sheet at a photo lab or on 10×15 photo paper, and the A4 sheet on A4 paper. In the print dialog choose 100 % or actual size and turn off fit to page, then cut along the grey lines.
