How to take a photo that passes
Keep your distance
Stand about 50 cm (20 in) from the camera, head and shoulders in frame. Best results: have someone else take it, or use a tripod — selfie-arm shots distort your face.
Face the camera straight on
Camera at eye level, look directly into the lens, neutral expression with your mouth closed. Don't tilt your head.
Find even light
Face a window or light source so there are no shadows on your face. Don't worry about what's behind you — the AI removes the background.

Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The AI background removal and cropping run entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your photo never leaves your device, which also makes the tool fast and private.
Will my photo be accepted by the authorities?
The tool crops your photo to the exact official dimensions and places head-position guides based on each country's published requirements. You are responsible for following the posing rules (neutral expression, no glasses, even lighting), which are listed on each country page.
How do I print my passport photo?
The HD download includes a 4×6 inch print sheet with several copies laid out with cut lines. Print it at any pharmacy, photo kiosk or online print service as a standard 4×6 photo, then cut along the lines.
What does the free version include?
You can use every feature — background removal, cropping, all size presets — and download a watermarked preview for free. The one-time HD purchase removes the watermark and adds the print sheet.
What kind of photo should I start with?
Use a sharp, well-lit photo taken straight-on at eye level, with your full head and shoulders visible and some space around them. Avoid harsh shadows, hats and glasses.
