What this passport photo maker gives you
Four document sizes, each rendered at 300 DPI, which is the resolution print shops and online application forms expect. 35 by 45 mm is the standard for UK passports and for Schengen visa applications, and it comes out 413 by 531 pixels. 51 by 51 mm is the 2 by 2 inch square the United States uses for passports and visas: at 300 DPI it comes out 602 by 602 pixels, inside the 600 to 1200 pixel range the US Department of State asks for in a digital photo. 30 by 40 mm and 40 by 60 mm cover national ID cards, work passes and school documents. The crop is saved as a high-quality JPG and written on your own machine.
Positioning the head yourself
The tool crops and does nothing else. It does not detect the face, measure the head or judge the background, so the rules are yours to satisfy while you drag the frame, and the one that trips people up is head size. For a US passport photo the head must measure between 25 and 35 mm from the bottom of the chin to the top of the hair, which works out at roughly half to two thirds of the square, with the eyes between 28 and 35 mm above the bottom edge. A UK passport photo uses the same idea at a different scale: the head must be between 29 and 34 mm from chin to crown inside the 35 by 45 mm frame. Use the scale slider to size the frame, then drag it until the head sits where the rule wants it, and check the printed sheet against a ruler before you submit anything.
Printing a 10 by 15 cm sheet, and fixing the background
The second download button lays as many copies of the crop as will fit onto a 10 by 15 cm photo sheet at 300 DPI, on white, with a thin gray line around each one to cut along. That is the cheapest way to get physical passport photos, because any print shop, supermarket kiosk or home photo printer takes a 10 by 15 file and you walk out with a strip instead of paying a booth. Backgrounds are the other half of the job, and a plain light wall shot in even daylight beats any software. Without a wall like that, remove the background with the AI tools on Azurade AI, drop the cut-out onto white, then crop here. A photo straight off an iPhone can go in as it is, since HEIC files are decoded on the page, or you can convert it first with HEIC to JPG.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a passport photo online?+
Upload a portrait taken against a plain wall and choose the size your country requires. Drag the frame over the face, set the scale so the head sits in the center, then download the cropped photo or a print sheet, all without leaving your browser.
What sizes does the passport photo maker support?+
Four of them: 35x45 mm, which covers UK passports and Schengen visa applications, 51x51 mm, the 2x2 inch format the United States uses, and 30x40 mm and 40x60 mm for national ID cards and staff passes, all rendered at 300 DPI.
Is the file big enough for an online application?+
Yes for the common ones. At 300 DPI the 2x2 inch crop comes out 602 by 602 pixels, and the US Department of State asks for a square image between 600 and 1200 pixels a side, while the 35x45 mm crop comes out 413 by 531 pixels.
Does it check that the photo meets the rules?+
No, and no free cropper should claim to. You get the exact dimensions and resolution, but head size, a plain background, a neutral expression, no glasses and even lighting are still on you, so read your own country's requirements before you submit.
How do I get a white background?+
Shoot against a plain light wall if you can. If the background is wrong, remove it with the AI background tool first, place the cut-out on white and come back here to crop, because doing it in that order keeps the crop exact.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?+
No. The cropping and the print sheet are drawn on a canvas inside your browser, so the portrait stays on your device, and iPhone HEIC files open directly without converting them first.
