ID Photo Maker

Take a selfie, remove the background automatically, and crop to passport, visa, or ID specs for 150+ countries — ICAO 9303 compliant.

1
Pick the document
Search 150+ countries (or tap a common quick-pick). Locks the crop dimensions, head-height, and JPEG byte cap to that document's official spec.
2
Selfie or upload
Front camera, or pick a photo from your device. HEIC and HEIF input supported (iPhone photos work directly).
3
Auto background removal
A ~5 MB portrait-matting model runs locally via WebAssembly. Your photo never uploads.
4
Adjust crop and background
Pinch-zoom to position the head inside the safe-zone overlay. Pick a background colour — white, off-white, light gray, or light blue.
5
Download
Sized to the consulate's spec, JPEG quality auto-tuned to the KB cap (240 KB for US, 300 KB for India, etc).

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 only segments the background — it does not retouch your face, skin, or eyes. For a US passport you should still verify acceptance against the official guidelines, since automated AI background changes are a grey area. The dimensions, file size, and head-height percentage we output match the official spec.

Which documents are supported?

150+ countries and 156 document specs (ICAO 9303 compliant) — passport, visa, national ID, and driver's-licence sizes across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, and Oceania — searchable by country or document type. Quick-pick shortcuts cover the most common — US Passport, US Driver's License, Canada, UK, EU/Schengen, India, China, Japan, and more.

Why is the first run a bit slower?

The portrait-matting model (~5 MB) starts downloading in the background as soon as the page opens and is cached on your device — a small status chip shows the progress and a toast confirms when it is ready. On a 4G connection this takes a few seconds. 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). The original background is replaced with the solid color you pick after the AI cutout.
