Passport & ID Photo Maker.

In the Application card, choose the country issuing the passport, not the country where the photo was taken. Select Printed photo for physical sizing, Online renewal for the US or Canada, or Online application for the UK. Custom ID size is available for other physical dimensions. The selected application type changes the controls and official requirements link. Printed sizes are US 2 × 2 inches (50.8 × 50.8 mm), UK 35 × 45 mm and Canada 50 × 70 mm. Their printed head-height ranges are respectively 25.4–34.925 mm, 29–34 mm and 31–36 mm. Custom width is 10–100 mm and height is 10–150 mm. These printed measurements are not digital-upload requirements. Official guidance reviewed on 10 November 2026; use the source link for the current rules.

Printed photo mode initially shows the whole source image inside the photo frame. White space may appear where its proportions differ from the chosen size. Drag the handles labelled Drag to head top and Drag to chin onto the anatomical head top and bottom of the chin, excluding high hair or a beard. Move Drag to face center horizontally through the middle of the face or nose to mark its centre. Head top and chin are required for Fit marked head; the face-centre marker is optional. Fit marked head scales the marked height to the middle of the selected printed-photo range, centres it vertically and uses your marked face centre for horizontal positioning when supplied. Review the result yourself. For a different source region, choose Crop photo above the preview, adjust its frame, then Apply crop. Its proportions follow the selected physical size. Cancel leaves the photo unchanged. Photo zoom remains 10% to 350%; drag the photo or use position sliders for adjustments. Fit photo shows the selected source area. Reset framing or Home clears the crop and all markers and restores the whole original photo. Arrow keys move the focused photo; + / - changes zoom. These are manual measurements, not face detection or approval. Guides never appear in downloads. Online mode keeps the complete original and has no crop or framing controls.

In Printed photo mode, copies per sheet controls repeated photos inside one downloaded image, not separate image files. Choosing a print layout or changing copies or gaps automatically shows the print sheet. Six US 2-inch photos fit a 4 × 6 inch sheet only with zero gaps; even a small positive gap reduces that layout to two. If the requested count does not fit, the settings show the actual capacity and Start remains disabled. Use Remove gaps to fit 6, choose an A4 sheet when offered, or explicitly choose a lower count. No photo is silently reduced in size, and export never silently drops requested copies. Photo and Print sheet toolbar buttons let you inspect either view.

Printed photo mode: The pixel dimensions are calculated from millimetres and the selected DPI, rounded to the nearest pixel. Sheet capacity and positions use physical millimetres, so changing preview resolution does not change the photo layout. A US 2-inch photo at 300 DPI is 600 × 600 pixels. A 4 × 6 sheet at that resolution is 1800 × 1200. PNG stores a pHYs density field and JPG stores JFIF density. Print at actual size or 100%; a printer’s fit-to-page option changes the result. A4 at 600 DPI exceeds the 32-megapixel output budget, so use 300 DPI for that sheet. Download saves only the selected photo or print-sheet image; no separate attributes text file is included. Size, copy count and DPI remain visible in settings.

No background removal, skin smoothing, face reshaping or other AI edits are applied. A correct crop cannot repair an unsuitable expression, background, lighting or source image. Canada requires a commercial photographer and professional printing and does not accept home-printed photos. Follow the issuer’s requirements before using any output for an official application. UK printed photos must not be a cut-down version of a larger picture and must be unaltered by computer software; use its preset as a sizing reference, not a claim that editing makes a photo acceptable.

Online mode shows File checks and Download cards. The US publishes a 54 KB–10 MB file-size range and lets you crop or reposition within its renewal application; it does not publish a fixed pixel or head-height target on that guidance page. UK digital photos need at least 600 pixels width and 750 pixels height, within 50 KB–10 MB; for your own-device photo, leave the head, shoulders and upper body visible and let the official service crop it. Canada online renewal requires an original JPEG supplied by a commercial photographer: portrait width-to-height ratio 2:3, between 1200 × 1800 and 3000 × 4500 pixels, and 200 KB–5 MB. Its head-height reference is 45–50% of image height; this tool does not automatically measure the face. File checks cover supported numerical and format requirements, not expression, lighting, photo age, photographer provenance or acceptance. The original file is kept unchanged, with no crop, print sheet, DPI conversion or re-encoding. Follow the linked official instructions before submitting it.
