Crop and resize a photo to standard passport/ID photo dimensions.
Official requirements vary by country and can change -- verify against your destination's current rules before submitting.
Upload a photo to see the cropped preview.
This tool center-crops and resizes an uploaded photo to a selected standard passport/ID photo size, entirely client-side using the Canvas API -- your photo never leaves your browser. Official photo requirements (background color, head positioning, expression rules) vary by country and change over time, so this handles sizing only -- always verify the full requirements against your destination's current official guidelines before submitting.
Select your target photo size, then upload a photo. A cropped, correctly-sized preview appears instantly, ready to download.
You pick one of five built-in sizes, then choose a photo file. The tool works out the shape of the target size and compares it with the shape of your photo. If your photo is wider than the target, it keeps the full height and trims equal amounts from the left and right. If it is taller, it keeps the full width and trims equal amounts from the top and bottom. The remaining area is then scaled to the exact target pixel dimensions. The crop is always centered. There are no handles for moving or zooming the crop area.
The result is previewed on the page and downloads as a JPEG at 95 percent quality, named with the pixel size, such as passport-photo-600x600.jpg.
These pixel values come from converting the physical size at the stated DPI. Requirements differ by country, agency, and application type, and they change, so always check the current official instructions for your specific document.
Say you have a hypothetical portrait photo of 3000 pixels wide by 4000 pixels tall, and you select the 600 by 600 option. The target is square, and your photo is taller than it is wide, so the tool keeps all 3000 pixels of width and takes a 3000 by 3000 area centered vertically, removing 500 pixels from the top and 500 from the bottom. That area is scaled down to 600 by 600. If your head sits high in the frame, you may find the top of it trimmed. In that case, crop your original in an editor first to position your head correctly, then run it through this tool.
Correct pixel size is only one part of a compliant photo. Agencies commonly specify things like background, head size within the frame, lighting, expression, glasses, and recency of the photo, and many also specify a file size limit or a required format. This tool covers only the crop and size. After downloading, check your result against the official checklist, and use the official photo tool or the issuing office's guidance where one is offered. Some applications accept digital uploads, while others need printed photos of a specified paper size, so confirm what your process expects.
The processing happens inside your browser using the canvas. The photo is not sent to a server by this tool. As always, be careful with saved copies of identity photos on shared computers.
No -- it only handles cropping and resizing to the correct pixel dimensions. Background color, lighting, expression, and head-positioning rules must still be verified separately against your destination's official requirements.
No -- the crop and resize happen entirely in your browser using the Canvas API; nothing is sent to a server.
No. The crop is always centered on the photo. If you need different framing, adjust the original in an editor first.
Changing the photo size selection clears the preview. Choose the size first, then upload your photo, or re-upload after switching.
A JPEG at 95 percent quality, named with the pixel dimensions of the chosen size.
No. It only crops and resizes. Background, head position, expression, and other rules must be checked against the current official requirements for your document.
