Things to Keep in Mind
- Official IDs have requirements for background, attire, and expression — this tool handles sizing and cropping only, not background replacement or retouching
- Low-resolution photos look blurry when enlarged — start from a sharp original
- Requirements vary by agency and country; always follow the specs published by the office handling your application
How to Choose an ID Photo Tool
- vs. a photo studio: no appointment, no trip — crop to spec anytime in your browser
- vs. upload-based ID photo tools: your photo never leaves your device
- Built-in standard sizes with a locked crop box — align and export
Where ID Photo Sizes Come From
- ID photo sizes are defined by print dimensions: a US passport photo is 2×2 inches. At the 300 DPI print standard, that works out to 600×600 pixels — which is where the preset numbers come from.
- The crop locks to exact pixels so prints are neither clipped nor padded; the optional file-size cap (iterative compression) then satisfies the "pixels + file size" double requirement common on application systems.
ID Photo FAQ
What is the pixel size of a US passport photo?
2×2 inches at 300 DPI, which is 600×600 pixels. The preset locks the crop box to exactly that size — just drag your photo into position.
Can I make a visa photo?
Yes. US visa photos use the same 2×2 inch (600×600 px) spec as passports; many other countries' visas use 2×2" as well — always confirm with the issuing authority.
Can I export a photo that meets an online application's requirements?
Pick the right size, frame your face, and set a file-size cap if the form requires one. Follow the exact specs published by the agency you're applying to.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Photos are processed entirely in your browser via Canvas — they never leave your device.
Can you change the background or retouch the photo?
No — this tool crops to standard sizes only. For background replacement or retouching, use a dedicated photo editor.
Can I use a photo taken with my phone?
Yes. Upload a sharp, evenly lit front-facing photo, pick a size, and frame your face — good lighting and a plain background give the best results.
