Questions

What size is a US passport photo?

2×2 inches (51×51 mm), with the head measuring 1 to 1 3/8 inches from chin to top of hair, on a white background.

Will this photo be accepted?

The tool gets the size, framing and background right, but you are responsible for the photo itself: even lighting, a neutral expression, eyes open and no shadows. Always check your country's official rules before submitting.

How do I print passport photos cheaply?

Download the 6×4 print sheet and print it as a normal 6×4 in (10×15 cm) photo at a supermarket kiosk, pharmacy or online print service. You get several photos for the price of one print.

Can I use it for online applications?

Yes. Download the digital photo. For example the UK online service needs at least 600×750 pixels and the US needs a 600–1200 pixel square; the downloads exceed those minimums.

Is the white background always perfect?

The AI works best with a clear outline against a fairly plain background. Fly-away hair can be tricky; if the edges look wrong, turn the option off and retake the photo against a plain light wall.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your files are never sent to a server, which is faster and keeps private photos and documents private.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
