About the Passport Photo Maker tool
Online applications for passports, visas, ID cards and exams often ask for a digital photo at an exact size. Pick the size you need, position the frame and download a photo at the right pixel dimensions (300 DPI). Always check your country's official rules too — most require a plain light background, a neutral expression, no glasses and your face filling most of the photo height.

My form needs the photo under 50 KB. What should I do?
Download your passport photo here, then use Compress Image to 50KB to make the file small enough.
Will this guarantee my photo is accepted?
We create the correct size, but acceptance also depends on lighting, background and pose. Check your government's photo rules before you submit.
