ID photo maker

An ID photo from your own picture

Upload a portrait, line the crown and the chin up with the guides, and download a 35 × 45 mm photo at print resolution. That size is the standard for passports and identity cards in the UK, the EU and many other countries.

The guide lines are what make the result usable. Authorities care about the proportion of the frame the head fills — roughly 70 to 80 % of the height — and about a clear margin above the crown. Zoom and the two sliders let you hit that exactly.

Choose 300 DPI for a photo-lab print, or 600 DPI when you want room to trim. Cropping and export run in your browser; only the optional background replacement sends the picture to a server, where it is processed and deleted at once.

Frequently asked questions

Will an official office accept it?

The size and proportions match the usual requirements, but rules on expression, glasses, head coverings and background differ by country and document. Check your own authority’s guidance before you go — a rejected photo costs another trip.

What background does it need?

Most authorities want a plain light background without shadows or patterns. The background replacement turns yours white, which is accepted almost everywhere.

Does the US 2 × 2 inch format work here?

Not directly. This tool produces 35 × 45 mm. For a US passport photo you need a square 51 × 51 mm image with different head proportions.

What makes a good source photo?

Even, diffuse light with no flash shadow behind the head, the camera at eye level, a neutral expression with the mouth closed and both eyes clearly visible. A phone photo against a light wall is usually enough.
