Before you submit
- Check the current rules of the office that issues your passport or visa.
- Most offices want a plain white or off-white background. This tool crops and sizes the photo but doesn't change the background. Take the photo against a light wall.
- Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression and your eyes open. Avoid glare on glasses.
- Place the chin near the bottom of the oval and the top of the head near the top.
Printing
Single photo gives you one JPG at 300 DPI for online forms.
4 × 6 in sheet gives you one image with as many copies as fit and thin cut lines between them. Print it as a standard 4 × 6 in (10 × 15 cm) photo at any photo shop or kiosk, then cut along the lines.
Privacy
The photo is processed in your browser. It is not uploaded to a server, which matters for an ID photo.
