Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a passport photo at home for free?

Stand in front of a plain wall in even light, take a photo with your phone and add it above. Choose your country and document, and the tool fits your head to the required size, replaces the background and lets you download the photo or a print sheet. It's free, with no watermark and no sign-up.

How does the automatic fitting work?

The tool detects your face, eyes, chin and the top of your head, then scales and positions the photo so your head size and eye line match the document's rules. You can still fine-tune the zoom and position.

Can I change the background to white?

Yes. The background is removed with AI and replaced by the colour your document requires, such as white or light grey. You can also pick off-white, sky blue, blue or red for other ID photos.

Which countries and sizes are supported?

Passport and visa presets for the United States, United Kingdom, Schengen/EU, Germany, France, India, China, Canada, Australia, Japan, Singapore, UAE, Brazil, South Africa, Nigeria, Mexico, Russia, South Korea and the Philippines. For other countries, use 2×2 in, 35×45 mm, 3×4 cm, 4×6 cm or 5×7 cm.

How do I make a 2×2 inch US passport photo?

Choose United States and Passport. The photo is made 2×2 inches at 600×600 pixels on a white background, ready to upload for an online renewal or to print.

How do I print passport photos?

Download a print sheet: several copies on a 4×6 inch photo or an A4 page, with cut lines. Print at 100% scale at a photo shop or on a home photo printer, then cut along the lines.

Can I make a passport photo with my phone?

Yes. Open this page in Safari or Chrome, take or choose a photo, and download the result. iPhone HEIC photos are accepted. Ask someone else to take the photo from about 1.5 metres away for the most natural result.

What makes a passport photo get rejected?

Common reasons are shadows on the face or background, a tilted head, glasses with glare, a non-neutral expression, hair covering the eyes, or a photo that's too old. Use even light, look straight at the camera and keep your mouth closed.

Is this photo accepted everywhere?

Rules change and some offices require photos from certified photographers or taken on site, for example German passports and ID cards since May 2025. Check your authority's current requirements before you apply.

Can I make a baby's passport photo?

Yes. Lay the baby on a plain white sheet or hold them against a plain wall, take a clear photo with eyes open if possible, and let the tool fit and clean up the background. Authorities are usually a little more flexible with newborns.

Is my photo kept private?

Yes. The photo is sent over an encrypted connection to find your face and remove the background, and it isn't stored afterwards. The final layout is created in your browser.
