Passport and ID Photo Maker: 2 × 2 in, 35 × 45 mm or Any Size
Make a passport, visa or ID photo from your own picture in your browser. Pick a size such as 35 × 45 mm or 2 × 2 inches, line up the head with the guides, and save a 300 dpi JPG or a print sheet with cut lines.
Drop a photo here or choose one
JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC where your browser can open it. Use a recent, sharp photo of one person facing the camera.
Choose the photo size, then choose a photo or drop it on the box above.
Drag the picture to move it, and zoom with the slider, the mouse wheel or two fingers. With the preview selected, the arrow keys move the picture (hold Shift for larger steps), + and − zoom, and [ and ] rotate.
Automatic checks
These checks are hints based on measurements of your photo. They cannot tell whether the photo will be accepted.
Before you use the photo
Rules differ between offices. Compare your photo with the instructions of the office or website you submit it to. These are the most common requirements:
Single photo
Size limits for online forms
If a website asks for an exact pixel size or a file size, enter it here. Leave a field empty when the website sets no value for it; with only a width or a height, the other side follows the shape of the photo.
Print sheet
Notes
- Your photo is processed in this browser and is not uploaded. Face detection and background separation run on your device, with models downloaded from leedybox.com the first time you use them.
- The guides show a default framing for each size, not the rule of a particular office. Change it under “Head size and position” when the office gives its own measurements.
- Saved files contain no EXIF, GPS or other metadata. JPG files record their print resolution: 300 dpi, or the resolution that the pixel size you entered gives at the photo's size.
- A phone's front camera held at arm's length makes the nose look larger. Ask someone to take the photo from about 1.5 m away, or use the self-timer, and zoom in rather than moving closer.
- Large photos are reduced to 2048 pixels on the longest side for editing, which is plenty for print and upload sizes.
Something wrong? If a photo comes out the wrong size, the face is not found or is placed wrongly, a check gives a wrong result, or a print does not measure right, please email us so we can fix it. Tell us the size you chose, the paper or website you used, and your device and browser. You do not need to attach your photo.

How to use
- Choose the photo size that the office, form or website asks for, such as 35 × 45 mm or 2 × 2 inches. Use “Custom size” for other sizes, and enter the head size under “Head size and position” if the instructions give one.
- Choose a photo or drop it on the box. On a phone you can also take one: ask someone to take it from about 1.5 m away, in front of a plain wall.
- Wait while the face is found. The picture is then sized and placed so that the top of the head, the chin and the eyes fall on the guides.
- Check the guides and adjust the picture by dragging, zooming or rotating. Replace the background only where the office accepts edited photos.
- Read the automatic checks and the checklist, then save the photo as a JPG, with a pixel size and file size limit for online forms if needed.
- For prints, choose the paper (4 × 6 in, 10 × 15 cm, L size or A4), save the sheet as a JPG or PDF, and print it at actual size.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The photo is opened, measured and saved in your browser. Face detection and background separation run on your device with MediaPipe models that are downloaded from leedybox.com the first time; your photo is not sent anywhere.
Which size should I choose?
Use the size in the instructions of the office, form or website that asks for the photo. Common sizes include 35 × 45 mm, 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm) and 3 × 4 cm, but the same kind of document can need different sizes in different countries, so check the instructions rather than guessing.
What do the guide lines mean?
The blue band shows where the top of the head (the top of the hair) should be, the orange band where the chin should be, and the green band, shown for square photos, the eye height. They are a default framing for the size; if the office gives other measurements, enter them under “Head size and position”.
Can I replace the background?
Yes. Turn on “Replace the background” and choose a colour; the person is separated from the background in your browser, so check the edges of the hair and shoulders. Many offices reject digitally edited photos, so where that applies, take the photo in front of a plain wall of the right colour instead.
What if no face is found or there are several people in the photo?
If no face is found, try a sharper, brighter photo with the face looking straight at the camera, or place the picture by hand. If several faces are found, the largest one is used, but an ID photo must show only one person, so take a new photo in which nobody else appears.
Does the saved JPG have 300 dpi?
Yes. The photo is saved with the number of pixels that 300 dots per inch gives for its size (for example 413 × 531 pixels for 35 × 45 mm), and the file records 300 dpi. If you enter your own pixel size, the file records the resolution that this gives in print. EXIF, GPS and other metadata are not included.
How do I meet the file size limit of an online application?
Open “Size limits for online forms” and enter the pixel size and the largest file size in KB (and the smallest, if there is one). The JPG quality is adjusted to fit; if the photo cannot fit at that pixel size, the tool tells you what to change.
How do I print the photos at the right size?
Save a print sheet for 4 × 6 in, 10 × 15 cm, L size (89 × 127 mm) or A4 and print it at 100% or “actual size”, not “fit to page”, on photo paper. Check one photo with a ruler or the 10 mm scale on the sheet, then cut along the grey lines. Photo shops and kiosks can print the 4 × 6 in or 10 × 15 cm JPG directly.
Will my photo be accepted?
The tool cannot promise that. It helps with the size, framing and file, but offices also judge the light, expression, sharpness and age of a photo, and some accept only photos from approved studios or take the photo themselves. Check the official instructions before you submit.
