Check your country's requirements first
Passport and visa photo rules vary by country: the accepted background color, the exact pixel or millimeter dimensions, head size and position, expression, and whether glasses are allowed. This tool handles the background — always confirm the size and composition rules from the official source before you submit.
A common standard is a plain white or off-white background with the face centered and evenly lit. Some countries (for example, certain visa types) ask for a light-blue background instead, which you can set with the color option.
Get an even, glare-free result
Take the photo in soft, even light facing a window, with no strong shadows on your face or behind your head. Keep a neutral expression and look straight at the camera. After removing the background, choose your required color and download, then use a photo-print service or template to crop to the exact size.
Frequently asked questions
＋Does this crop the photo to passport size?
This tool sets the background color. For exact cropping, use your country's official template or a print service after you download, since dimensions differ by country.
＋What background color should I use?
Most passports use plain white. Some visas require light blue. Check your specific application, then choose white or a custom color here.
＋Is my photo private?
Yes. Your headshot is processed entirely on your device and is never uploaded, which matters for sensitive ID photos.
