ID Photo Maker

Take a selfie and crop it to your passport or visa size. Where the authority publishes file rules, as the US, UK and India do, the result checks pixels, file size and format.

1
Pick the document
Search 150+ countries (or tap a common quick-pick). Sets the output pixels, print size and head-height guide for that document.
2
Selfie or upload
Front camera, or pick a photo from your device. HEIC and HEIF input supported (iPhone photos work directly).
3
Background, where allowed
For documents that allow edits, a ~5 MB portrait-matting model removes the background locally in your browser. Documents whose rules forbid edited photos are cropped and resized only.
4
Adjust crop and background
Pinch-zoom to position the head with the safe-zone guide. When the background is replaced, pick white, off-white, light gray, or light blue.
5
Download
Sized to the chosen document. The result checks pixels, file size and format against the authority's published rules and links its page; the print sheet tiles each copy at its size in millimetres.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my photo leave my device?

No. Background removal runs in your browser. Your selfie is never uploaded to a server. The only network request is the one-time download of the segmentation model.

Will the US State Department accept photos from this tool?

Since January 2026 the US State Department rejects photos with AI-edited facial features. This tool never retouches your face, skin, or eyes. For US, UK, Canadian, Indian, South Korean, New Zealand and Australian documents the default is crop and resize only, with the photo left unaltered; replacing the background is an opt-in, and the result then fails its edit check. The result checks the file against travel.state.gov — file size and format for a passport photo renewed online, and pixels, file size and format for a visa photo. Head size, expression and lighting are not checked.

Which documents are supported?

156 passport and visa specs across 150+ countries in the Americas, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Oceania, searchable by country or document type. Documents checked against the authority's own page (the US, UK, India, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Australia and Germany) link that page in the result. The others use the common 35 × 45 mm print size and say that no official file rules are on file, so check your authority's current rules before you submit. Quick picks cover US, UK, Canadian, Indian, Chinese and French passports.

Why is the first run a bit slower?

The portrait-matting model (~5 MB) starts downloading once you pick a document that allows background edits, and is cached on your device — a small status chip shows the progress. Crop-only documents (US, UK, Canada, India, Japan and others) fetch it only if you choose to replace the background. After that, photos process in a few seconds on most phones.

My phone camera does not open. What do I do?

Camera access requires HTTPS and explicit browser permission. If you blocked it earlier, look for the camera icon in your address bar and re-enable. As a fallback, tap "or select a photo" to use any photo from your gallery — the rest of the flow is the same.

What backgrounds are available?

White (default for most passports), off-white, light gray (UK and several EU), and light blue (some employee badges). For documents that allow edits, the original background is replaced with the solid color you pick after the AI cutout. Documents whose rules forbid edited photos keep the background you shot.
