Crop a headshot to official passport sizes — US 2×2 in, Schengen 35×45 mm and more — with a face-guide overlay and a 4×6 print sheet option.
Your photo is processed locally on your device and never uploaded — ideal for biometric pictures.

Each preset is a pixel target derived from the official print size at 300 dpi: millimetres divided by 25.4 times 300, rounded to whole pixels — 35 × 45 mm becomes 413 × 531. You drag and zoom your photo behind a fixed frame with that exact aspect ratio, and the export canvas is created at the preset's native pixel size, so one display pixel of your framing equals a fixed number of output pixels with no resampling surprises.
It depends on the country. The United States allows a natural, moderate smile; Schengen states, the UK, India and China generally require a neutral expression with mouth closed and eyes open. Rules change, so treat this tool as the cropping step only and verify the expression and lighting requirements on the official government site of the country you are applying to before you take or submit the picture.
The US stopped accepting photos with glasses in 2010 except for medical reasons such as a post-surgical patch, and many other countries discourage them for glare and shadow. If you must wear them, tilt-free frames without glare are the least risky choice — but check the specific country's guidance, because a rejected application photo costs you a reshoot either way.
Digital upload portals usually specify pixel dimensions and a maximum JPEG file size rather than print resolution — the US state department, for example, asks for a square 600 × 600 to 1200 × 1200 JPEG under 240 KB. The Single output mode gives you exactly-sized JPGs you can check against those rules; if your file size is over the limit, lower your phone's camera quality or export a smaller crop and re-run it here.
Not with this tool — it crops and scales, but leaves your background exactly as photographed. Most governments require a plain white or off-white backdrop, so photograph against one. If you need an existing photo's background replaced, our AI Background Remover tool runs a segmentation model in your browser for that job; this page deliberately does not attempt it.
No. Your photo is read by a local FileReader, positioned on a canvas and exported as a JPEG in browser memory. Nothing is transmitted, stored or logged, which is exactly what you want for biometric pictures — the tool keeps working with the network switched off.
