Passport Photo Maker
Crop a photo to passport or ID size (35×45 mm, 30×40 mm) or US visa 2×2 in and save it at the exact 300 dpi pixel size.
How to use
- Choose a photo or drop it in. You can paste a copied photo too. A front-facing photo with a large face works best.
- Pick a spec: ID photo 3×4 cm (354×472 px), passport 3.5×4.5 cm (413×531 px), US visa 2×2 in (600×600 px) or Square 600×600 px. For anything else choose Custom and type the size in cm or px.
- Drag the photo to line up the face and zoom with the slider (100–320%). Turn on the guides (thirds grid and face oval) to help.
- Choose the background colour (white, light grey or your own) and the file format (JPEG or PNG). The colour only fills transparent areas of a PNG.
- Press Download. The output size is shown in pixels and in mm.
FAQ
What size is a passport photo or ID photo?
At 300 dpi, 3.5×4.5 cm (35×45 mm) is 413×531 px and 3×4 cm is 354×472 px. 35×45 mm is the passport size in South Korea and also in many other countries, such as the UK, EU states, Japan and Australia; check your own issuing authority. A US passport or visa photo is 2×2 in (51×51 mm, 600×600 px).
Does it remove or whiten the background?
No. There is no background removal, retouching or automatic face alignment; it crops the photo to the spec ratio and sets the size. Take the photo in front of a plain, light wall, because the background colour setting only shows through transparent areas of a PNG.
What are the US visa photo requirements?
The US Department of State asks for a 2×2 in square photo taken within the last 6 months on a plain white or off-white background, with the head 50–69% of the image height. For the DS-160 upload it must be a JPEG of 240 KB or less, between 600×600 and 1200×1200 px. The US visa preset saves 600×600 px; you still have to frame the face yourself.
Can I take the file to a print shop?
The pixel sizes are chosen so the photo is exactly the stated size at 300 dpi. The file itself carries no dpi value, so tell the shop the print size, for example 35×45 mm.
How do I make a size that is not on the list?
Choose Custom and type the width and height in cm or pixels (20–6,000 px). Switching the unit converts the values at 300 dpi.
Which file format and quality should I choose?
JPEG (quality 60–100%, default 92%) or PNG. If an upload form limits the file size, lower the JPEG quality.
How do I get the face position right?
Turn on the guides: place the face inside the oval with the eyes near the upper third line, and drag and zoom to match. The guides are only a rough aid, so check your country's face-size rule yourself.
