Free Passport Size Photo Maker Online
Getting a passport size photo ready used to mean visiting a photo studio, waiting, and paying for
prints you may not even need. This tool changes that. Upload any clear portrait photo, and the AI
automatically removes the background, centers your face, applies a clean background, and exports a
correctly sized passport photo - with a simple editor for final positioning and download.
Choose from a small set of popular presets, including 35×45 mm passport-style photos and a square US visa
preset. Always check the exact requirements of the authority receiving your photo, because rules can
vary by country, document type, and application portal.
How to Make a Passport Size Photo
Upload your photo. Use a clear, front-facing portrait with your face visible.
Good lighting helps the AI produce cleaner edges around hair and shoulders. Files must be under
10MB.
Wait a moment. Your image is optimised in the browser and sent to our AI
background-removal service. The processed result is then returned to the editor.
Adjust if needed. Use drag to reposition and pinch-to-zoom on mobile, or the
zoom buttons on desktop. Tap a swatch to change the background color.
Download. Click the Download button to save your passport photo as a high
quality JPEG.
How AI Background Removal Works
When you choose a photo, Compressly first reduces unnecessarily large image dimensions in your browser
to make processing faster. The optimised image is then sent to our AI background-removal service,
which creates a transparent subject image and returns it to your browser.
The returned result is placed in the editor, where you can choose a background, reposition the portrait,
zoom, and create the final downloadable image. Because your photo is processed by a server, please
review our Privacy Policy for information about how uploaded images are handled.
What Is a Passport Size Photo?
A passport size photo is a standardised portrait photograph used for official identification
documents. In India, the standard size is 35×45 mm (approximately 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm) printed at 300
DPI, which corresponds to 413×531 pixels at that resolution. The photo should show a front-facing
view with a plain background, with the face clearly visible from chin to crown.
This format is required for Indian passports, Aadhaar card applications, PAN card applications,
driving license applications, government job applications, competitive exam forms, college
admissions, and visa applications.
