Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a passport photo be?
It depends on your country. US passport photos are 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm), UK passport photos are 45 x 35 mm, and Schengen visa photos are 35 x 45 mm. This tool includes 28 official sizes — just pick your country and the correct dimensions are applied automatically at 300 DPI.
What background color is best for a passport photo?
Most countries accept white or light grey. Some countries (like China) require blue or red backgrounds for certain documents. This tool lets you switch between white, blue and red backgrounds with one click.
Is this ID photo maker really free?
Yes — generating and downloading your ID photo is completely free, with no watermark and no sign-up. Your images are processed entirely in your own browser, so nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The AI background removal runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your photo never leaves your device — this makes it 100% private and secure, which is especially important for ID documents.
Can I take a passport photo at home?
Yes! Use a smartphone, stand against a plain white wall, face the camera directly with a neutral expression, and make sure your face is well lit. Upload the photo here — the AI removes the background, adjusts the framing and exports a print-ready file.
What is the difference between 1-inch and 2-inch photos?
1-inch photos (25 x 35 mm) are commonly used for Chinese documents and student IDs, while 2-inch photos (35 x 49 mm) are used for job applications and certificates. This tool includes both, plus many other international sizes.
Can I compress or convert my photos here too?
Yes — besides the ID photo maker, this site also has a free image compressor and a JPG / PNG / WEBP format converter. All processing happens locally in your browser.
Do you support passport photo sizes for all countries?
This tool covers 28 official sizes including US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Schengen visa and many more. If you need a size that is not listed, use the custom ratio feature to set your own dimensions.
Does this ID photo maker work on my phone and computer?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox — on Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android. No installation needed: the AI runs entirely in your browser, on your device.
What is the difference between JPG, PNG and WEBP formats?
JPG is the most compatible and produces small files, great for uploads and printing. PNG keeps transparency and fine details. WEBP is the smallest, best for websites. This tool can convert between all three, and the ID photo itself is exported as a print-ready JPG.
