Make a passport-size photo

Crop a photograph to a passport size, set the pixel dimensions and file size a form asks for, and optionally lay out a printable sheet of copies for a photo studio or home printer.

Your file stays on your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to our servers, and nothing is stored.

JPG, PNG or WebP · up to 50 MB

A photo taken straight on, against a plain wall in even light, works best.

Independent utility tool. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any government organisation or recruitment body. Requirements differ between forms and change between cycles — always follow the specification printed on the form you are filling in.

How to make a passport-size photo

  1. Choose a photo. A plain, evenly lit background works best.
  2. Pick a size preset, or enter your own dimensions in centimetres or pixels.
  3. Drag and zoom the crop box until the head is centred with a little space above it.
  4. Set a maximum file size if the form specifies one.
  5. Generate, then download the single photo — or switch to the sheet tab for an A4 page of copies.

Supported formats

JPG / JPEG, PNG and WebP in. JPG out, which is what nearly every form expects.

Important limitations

Worth knowing before you start, so nothing here comes as a surprise at the point you are submitting a form:

  • This tool crops and resizes. It does not remove or replace the background, retouch the face, or check whether your pose meets any particular standard.
  • Different authorities require different sizes, head proportions, backgrounds and expressions. The presets here are common sizes, not official rules — check your own form.
  • A printed sheet comes out at the right physical size only if you print at 100% scale with "fit to page" turned off.

How your files are handled

This tool does its work using your browser’s own image and document engine. Your file is read from your device into the page’s memory, processed there, and offered back to you as a download. It is never sent to Fyleit, never written to a server, and never stored anywhere we can reach.

You can verify that for yourself: load this page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool still works. That is also why there is no sign-up and no email field — we have nothing to attach an account to.

Common problems

How much of the frame should my head fill?

Many standards ask for the head to occupy roughly 70 to 80 percent of the height, with a small gap above the hair. Guidelines on the crop box show this. Your own form is the authority — follow it where it differs.

My background is not plain.

This tool cannot replace a background. Retake the photo against a plain light-coloured wall in even, indirect light, standing far enough from the wall that you do not cast a hard shadow.

The printed photo came out the wrong size.

Print at 100% scale with page scaling and "fit to printable area" switched off. Any scaling applied by the print dialog changes the physical size, however correct the file is.

How many photos fit on one A4 sheet?

The tool calculates this from your photo size and spacing and shows the count before you download. For a 3.5 x 4.5 cm photo it is usually around 20 to 25 copies.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo or signature uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is processed by your own browser, on your own device. Your photograph and signature are never transmitted to us and never stored. That matters here more than on most tools, because these are identity documents.
Is this an official tool?
No. This is an independent utility with no connection to any government department, examination board or recruitment body. It prepares a file to the dimensions and size you enter — it cannot tell you what your particular form requires, and it cannot guarantee the result will be accepted. Always read the instructions on the form itself.
What size is a passport photo in pixels?
It depends on the print resolution. At 300 DPI, which is the normal standard for printing, a 3.5 x 4.5 cm photo is 413 x 531 pixels. At 600 DPI it is 827 x 1063. The tool converts this for you when you enter a size in centimetres.
Can I use this for a printed photo from a studio?
Yes. Generate the A4 sheet at 300 DPI, save it, and have it printed on photo paper at 100% scale. Ask the shop not to resize it.
