What size should a passport photo be?

It varies by country. US passports and visas use 2×2 inches (51×51mm); the UK, EU/Schengen, and Australia use 35×45mm; China uses 33×48mm for passports. This tool includes presets for all of these and more.

What resolution do I need for printing?

Each preset outputs at 300 DPI, the standard print resolution. For example, a 35×45mm photo exports at 413×531 pixels — sharp enough for any photo lab.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser with the Canvas API. Your photo never leaves your device.

Can I crop for a US passport (2×2 inch)?

Yes. Select "US Passport" or "US Visa" under the Passport/Visa groups for the exact 51×51mm (2×2 inch) frame at 300 DPI.

How should I position my face in the frame?

Center your face with a little space above the head and your shoulders visible at the bottom. Most ID standards want the head to fill roughly 70–80% of the frame height.

What if my photo is lower resolution than required?

The tool still crops to the target dimensions, but a low-resolution source may look soft when printed. Use the highest-resolution photo you have for best results.

Can I change the background first?

Yes — use the ID Photo background changer to set a white, blue, or red background, then crop to size here.

Which countries are supported?

Presets cover the US, UK, EU/Schengen, Canada, Australia, India, Japan, and China for passports and visas, plus common Chinese ID sizes. More can be added on request.

How it works

Pick the document standard you need — US passport, Schengen visa, Chinese 1-inch, and dozens more — and the tool overlays a crop frame locked to that exact aspect ratio. Drag the frame to position your face correctly, then export at the precise pixel dimensions (300 DPI) required for printing. Everything runs in your browser; your photo is never uploaded.
