    How it works

    1. Add a photo of the person. A portrait taken in good light works best.
    2. Zoom in and move the frame until the face is where it should be. The preview shows the real result.
    3. Press the button, then download the photo and the sheet to print.

    What you get

    A JPG at exactly 35 × 45 mm (413 × 531 pixels at 300 dpi), cut from your picture without stretching, and optionally a sheet of photo paper with as many copies as fit, ready to print at actual size. For 35 × 45 mm on 4 × 6 inch paper that is eight copies.

    If a form wants the file under a limit such as 50 KB, type it in. The tool lowers the quality just enough to get under, and tells you if it cannot.

    Taking a photo that will work

    Stand a step in front of a plain, light wall, with the light on your face from a window or the sky, not from one side. Hold the camera at eye level, a little way back, rather than close up, which distorts the face. Look straight at the lens with a neutral face and no filters.

    Take it in portrait. Back away a little rather than relying on the zoom: it leaves room to position the frame, and the picture is cropped anyway.

    Frequently asked questions

    What size is a passport photo?

    It depends on the country and the document. 35 × 45 mm is a very common size and is the starting point here; 2 × 2 inch (51 × 51 mm) is the other one many people need. The size menu has both, and you can type any other size in millimetres.

    Will my photo be accepted?

    This tool gets the size, the file size and the layout right. What an office accepts is for that office to say: many ask for a plain light background, a straight face with both ears visible, no shadows, no glasses glare, and a face that fills a set part of the frame. Read the instructions of the form or the notice, and check the preview against them before you submit.

    Can it change or remove the background?

    No. It cuts your picture to size and arranges copies; it does not edit what is in the picture. Take the photo standing in front of a plain light wall, in even daylight, and the background will be right from the start.

    How do I print the sheet at the right size?

    Open the sheet and print it at 100% or "actual size", with "fit to page" turned off, on the paper size you chose. A photo shop can print the file the same way: ask for it at actual size with no cropping. Cut along the thin grey lines.

    Are my files uploaded anywhere?

    No. Everything happens inside your browser, on your own device. Your files are never sent to a server, and you can confirm that in your browser's network tab. Close the tab and they're gone.

    Is there a file size limit?

    Each file can be up to 100 MB, and up to 300 MB in total. Because the work happens on your device, very large files depend on your available memory. A desktop browser handles them best.
