Frequently Asked Questions

It turns an ordinary photo of your face into a passport photo at an official size, in the browser, free. It finds the face, frames it the way the specification expects, sizes the image to the exact dimensions, and lets you drop in the plain background that passport offices ask for. You get a file you can print or upload, without a trip to a photo booth.

United States and India at 2 by 2 inches, which is 51 by 51 mm and comes out as 600 by 600 pixels at 300 DPI, plus European, Canadian and Chinese specifications. The tool shows the measurements for whichever one you pick, so you can check them against the guidance you were given before you print anything.

Yes. Switch the output from a single photo to the 4 by 6 inch print sheet and the tool lays out a grid of identical photos at the right size. That is the format most print shops and supermarket photo machines expect, so you walk in with one file and walk out with a strip you can cut.

You can keep the original or replace it with white, off white, light blue or light grey, which covers what most passport and visa offices accept. The tool also runs two checks and tells you the result: whether a face was actually found in the photo, and whether the image is sharp enough to print at 300 DPI.

The tool handles the measurable part: the dimensions, the framing and a plain background, and it warns you when the face is not detected or the resolution is too low to print. The rules it cannot check for you are the human ones, such as expression, glasses, head covering and how recent the photo is, so read your country’s guidance before you submit. For sizing images in other units, see Convert DPI and Professional Photo Maker.
