## About

### A compliant passport photo, made at home

Official passport and visa photos have strict rules: an exact size, the head at a set height, and a plain light background. This maker takes any front-facing photo and lets you crop, zoom, straighten, and drag your face into the right position against live alignment guides, then fills a clean background color and exports at the precise pixel dimensions and DPI your document requires.

### Print at home or at any photo kiosk

Export a single correctly-sized image, or tile it onto a standard 4×6, 5×7, or A4 print sheet — the tool tells you exactly how many copies fit — so you can print at a pharmacy, kiosk, or home printer and cut them out. Everything is rendered on an HTML canvas in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere.

## FAQ

### How do I make a passport photo at home?

Take a well-lit, front-facing photo against a plain wall, upload it here, choose your country and document type, then use the zoom and position controls to align your head inside the guides. Set a white background if needed and download the result or a print-ready 4×6 sheet.

### What size is a US passport / visa photo?

A US passport and US visa photo is 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm), which is 600 x 600 pixels at 300 DPI, with a plain white or off-white background. This tool includes that preset along with UK, Schengen (35x45mm), India, Canada and others.

### Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. All cropping, resizing, and background processing happen locally in your browser using the HTML canvas. Your image is never uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere.

### Can I print the photo at a pharmacy or photo shop?

Yes. Use the print-sheet export to get a standard 4×6, 5×7, or A4 sheet tiled with your correctly-sized photos — the tool shows how many copies fit per sheet. Take the downloaded JPG to any print kiosk or pharmacy, print it, then cut out each image.

### Which countries and photo sizes are supported?

Over 14 presets, including US/India 2×2 in (51×51mm), Schengen/UK/EU/Germany/Australia/Japan/Pakistan 35×45mm, Canada 50×70mm, China 33×48mm, and a generic 25×35mm ID photo. Each preset sets the exact pixel size and 300 DPI automatically.

### My photo is slightly tilted — can I fix it?

Yes. Use the Straighten slider to rotate the photo up to 20° in either direction, and drag the image directly on the preview to reposition your face so the crown and chin line up with the guides.

### Can I print the photo at a shop?

Yes — export the 4×6 sheet and print it at any pharmacy or photo kiosk, then cut out the individual photos.
