How to prepare your photo

Choose a recent, sharp image with even lighting and a plain background.
Look directly at the camera with a neutral expression unless the authority says otherwise.
Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP file, then zoom, rotate and reposition the crop.
Export as JPEG, PNG or WebP. For printing, use actual size / 100% and verify the physical dimensions.
Check the issuing authority's current photo rules before you submit the image.

Size is only one requirement

Authorities can also specify head height, eye position, background colour, facial visibility, recency, resolution, file type and maximum file size. This free tool crops and resizes images; it does not certify biometric compliance, remove backgrounds or guarantee acceptance.

Important: The dimensions shown here are a starting point, not an official guarantee. Always use the current instructions for the exact passport, visa, identity document, consulate or online portal.

Privacy-first photo editing
