Common presets
Choose a pixel layout, then check the exact requirements of your application. This tool does not certify passport compliance or set print size.
IMAGE TOOLS
Choose a common passport or visa preset, crop your image to the exact pixel ratio, and download a JPG. Your original image stays on your device.
Use the preset required by your application. Always check the receiving authority's photo rules before submitting.

Choose a pixel layout, then check the exact requirements of your application. This tool does not certify passport compliance or set print size.
The tool keeps the selected aspect ratio and crops from the center of your photo.
The photo is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded.
PRACTICAL NOTES
Read the application’s current pixel dimensions before choosing a preset. Use the horizontal and vertical controls to position the crop. A control will have no visible effect when the full image already fits along that axis. Inspect the face and margins before downloading.
A concrete example
For a 600 × 600 pixel upload, choose the square layout and position the face in the preview. For a printed 35 × 45 mm photograph, confirm the required print resolution and print settings separately; the download specifies pixels, not a certified physical print size.
Fill transparent areas changes only transparent pixels. It does not remove an existing wall or background from a JPG. Use the background remover first if needed. This tool does not check face size, expression, lighting or government acceptance.

This tool exports pixel dimensions, not a certified physical print size. Its 413 x 531 pixel portrait preset is only a starting layout. Confirm the required resolution, print size and current issuing-authority rules separately.
No. The fill setting changes transparent areas only. Remove an existing background first with the separate background remover if your task requires that.
Yes. Select custom dimensions and enter the width and height in pixels, then position the crop using the horizontal and vertical controls.
No. It does not check expression, lighting, face size or acceptance rules. Compare the output with the receiving authority’s current instructions.
PHOTO PREPARATION
Read the receiving application's current photo requirements before selecting a preset. The tool can create a pixel-sized JPG, including a 413 by 531 portrait layout, a 600 by 600 square or custom dimensions. Those numbers are starting layouts, not proof that a government office, visa portal or employer will accept the result. A printed size such as 35 by 45 millimetres also depends on print resolution and settings. The browser export specifies pixels. Keep the original photograph so you can make a different crop when the instructions change.
Choose an image with enough space around the head and shoulders for the required shape. Use the horizontal and vertical crop controls to position the subject, then inspect the preview. A slider may appear to do nothing when the full image already fits on that axis. Avoid stretching a portrait to a square: crop with intention instead. Check that the top of the head, chin and any required margins remain visible. The tool does not automatically measure face size or check expression, glare, shadows or headwear rules.
Filling transparent areas with white changes transparency, not a real wall or coloured backdrop in a JPG. If the original background must be removed, do that in a separate background-removal step and inspect the edges before returning to the photo maker. Hair and shoulders can look unnatural when a cutout is rough. Some applications require an unedited or live-captured image, so background replacement may be inappropriate even if the exported file looks clean. Follow the authority's instructions rather than a generic passport-photo example.
Download the JPG and open it outside the preview. Confirm the final width and height, orientation and visual quality. If a form also imposes a KB limit, compress a copy after the crop and check that the dimensions did not change in the way the form forbids. Compare the saved file with the portal's allowed format and maximum size. Do not rename a PNG file to .jpg to make it appear compatible; actual encoding matters. Keep the version you submit separate from experiments.
A good portrait crop is a preparation step, not a certification service. The portal can apply rules that this tool cannot assess, and those rules may differ between a printed photo and a digital upload. If a portal rejects a technically correct file, re-read its current guidance and error message before editing the image again. Save a note of the exact preset or custom dimensions you used, especially when preparing photos for more than one form. Two portals may both ask for a "passport photo" while enforcing different ratios or byte limits. A repeatable record of the crop and final file makes it easier to correct a rejection without starting from guesswork.
Position the crop only after choosing the required shape. Moving the subject inside a square and then switching to a portrait layout can change the visible margins. Check the result once more after every change to width or height. If the form rejects the file for bytes rather than composition, keep this crop and compress a copy instead of recropping at random.
