Passport Photo Maker

Upload a photo and crop it to standard passport, ID and visa sizes — auto-framed using real face-detection geometry, with a drag-and-resize crop box for any size.

Upload a portrait

We’ll detect the face and frame the photo to the size you need.

How it works

Face geometry and OFIQ quality results are computed in memory and discarded when the answer is returned. Nothing is saved.

Choose a photo (or try the sample) on the left. Once it's verified, we auto-detect the face, frame it to your chosen size, and run a first quality check — then you can fine-tune the crop here.

How the auto-crop works

The same SCRFD face detector and landmark model behind our Face Quality & Match tool finds the eyes and chin in your photo. From those two points it computes the ICAO 9303 document-photo framing — the international standard most passport and ID photo rules are built on — as a starting rectangle:

What the auto-crop targets
Digits	Segment	Meaning
T	Eye-to-chin distance	Measured directly from the detected face — the reference unit everything else is built from.
70–80%	Head height in frame	ICAO 9303’s target head size, so the face fills the frame the way a document photo is expected to.
1.08 × T	Eye line from top	Where the eyes sit vertically, matching the standard’s 40-50% "eyes from top" convention.

That gives one well-framed rectangle at the 35:45 aspect ratio. For a square size like the US 2×2 in format, the same eye position and head-height numbers are simply recomputed for a 1:1 aspect instead — the geometry doesn’t change, only the shape of the frame around it.

About the sizes listed

These are common, widely used reference dimensions for passport, ID and visa photos. They are not a live feed from every issuing authority, and requirements do change — background colour, print finish, head-covering rules and file requirements for online applications all vary by country. Treat the crop as a strong starting point, and confirm the current requirement with whoever is asking for the photo before you submit or print it.

Frequently asked questions

How does the auto-crop decide where to frame the photo?

It uses the same face-geometry engine behind our verification platforms to find the eyes and chin, then applies the ICAO 9303 framing convention — the international document-photo standard — as a starting point: head roughly 70-80% of the frame, eyes just above centre. You can drag the box or resize it from a corner from there, for any size.

Will this photo definitely be accepted?

No tool can guarantee that — the sizes here are common, widely cited reference dimensions, not a live feed from every passport office's current rules. Background, printing, lighting and paper requirements vary by country and change over time. Always check your specific issuing authority's current requirements before submitting a printed photo.

Is this the same engine as the Face Quality & Match tool?

Yes — the face-detection step is the same RealFace engine. This tool only asks it for a crop rectangle (geometry, not a match score or a stored template), so it's a lighter request, but it's the same underlying detector.

Are my photos stored?

No. The upload is sent once to compute the face geometry and run the automatic quality check — it is discarded the moment the answer comes back, and nothing is written to disk. The cropping and export to your chosen size itself happens in your own browser, on the copy already in your device's memory.

What if it can't find a face, or finds more than one?

If no face is detected, you'll get a plain error rather than a bad guess. If more than one is detected — a second person in the background, or a printed photo elsewhere in the frame — it crops to the largest face and tells you so, since that's almost always the actual subject. A real passport photo still needs exactly one person in it, so double-check the framing when you see that message.

What does the passport compliance check actually do?

It sends your current crop to OFIQ — the ISO/IEC 29794-5 face-image-quality engine — graded against the same policy passport-enrolment systems use for ICAO-shaped photos. You get an ACCEPT/REVIEW/REJECT verdict plus the specific measures it flagged (head size, lighting, expression, background and so on), each with plain-language advice. It only applies to the 35×45 mm ICAO shape, since that's the convention the policy is built around.

Why is there a daily limit?

This is a free public tool backed by a real biometric engine, so it carries the same limits as our Face Quality & Match checker — a small number of free runs per device per day, tracked without cookies. Each new scan runs both the face crop and the automatic OFIQ quality check in one pass; a later manual re-check after editing is another engine run. The sample photo doesn't count against it, so you can try the tool before using your daily allowance.
