Passport Photo Maker
Turn a selfie into a passport-size photo with a white background, auto-cropped and centered.
Passport Photo Maker: Free Online Passport Size Photo Tool
A compliant passport photo needs a plain white background, the subject centred and correctly sized, and the right physical dimensions — normally a trip to a pharmacy or photo studio. ConvertBrio's passport photo maker does all three automatically: upload a selfie or any clear headshot, and get back a print-ready 2×2 inch photo with a clean white background in seconds.
It's free, with no account and no watermark, and every step — face detection and background removal — runs on ConvertBrio's own servers, so your photo is never sent to an outside service.
How to use this tool
- 1
Take a plain headshot
Front-facing, neutral expression, even lighting, head and shoulders in frame with space around them. A phone selfie against a light wall is fine.
- 2
Upload it
One person per photo, up to 100 MB. Group shots and tightly-cropped close-ups won't process.
- 3
Let the tool build the photo
ConvertBrio finds your face, crops and centres it to passport proportions, removes the background, and fills it solid white.

Download and print at 2×2 inch
You get a 1200×1200 pixel image at 600 DPI — the 2×2 inch size used for US and Indian passport and visa photos.
How It Works
Upload a photo, and ConvertBrio detects your face, crops and centers it to standard passport proportions, removes the original background, and replaces it with solid white — then outputs a 2x2 inch photo at 600 DPI (1200x1200 pixels), the size used for both US and Indian passport and visa photos. There's nothing to position or adjust manually.
Passport photo sizes by country
The tool outputs the 2×2 inch (51×51 mm) format. That's the exact requirement for some countries and a usable starting point you can trim for others — always check your government's current spec before submitting.
| Country | Required size | 2×2 in output fits? |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 2 × 2 in (51 × 51 mm) | Yes, directly |
| India | 2 × 2 in (51 × 51 mm) | Yes, directly |
| United Kingdom | 35 × 45 mm | Crop from the 2×2 output |
| Schengen / EU | 35 × 45 mm | Crop from the 2×2 output |
| Canada | 50 × 70 mm | Re-crop; different proportions |
| Australia | 35 × 45 mm | Crop from the 2×2 output |
Getting the Best Result
Use a well-lit, front-facing photo with your whole head and shoulders visible and some space around them — a phone selfie against a plain wall works well. Avoid photos where the head is cropped tight at the edges, since the tool needs room above the head and around the shoulders to compute a correctly-proportioned crop. One person per photo; group photos or heavily cropped close-ups won't process correctly.
What This Tool Doesn't Guarantee
This produces a professional-looking, correctly-sized and centered photo with a genuine white background — not a certified compliance check. It doesn't verify lighting evenness, expression, glasses glare, or the other criteria an official ICAO or government photo review checks by hand. For a passport application with strict acceptance requirements, treat this as a strong starting point and confirm against your country's current photo requirements before submitting.
Privacy
Face detection and background removal both run on ConvertBrio's own servers using self-hosted, open-source models — your photo is never sent to a third-party API or reviewed by a person. Uploaded and generated files are automatically deleted within 24 hours.

Passport Photo Maker — FAQ
Common questions about ConvertBrio's passport photo maker.
What size photo does this produce?
A 2x2 inch (1200x1200 pixel) photo at 600 DPI — the standard size for both US and Indian passport and visa photos.
Is this free?
Yes. Uploading a photo and generating a passport-size photo with a white background doesn't require an account or payment.
Will this photo definitely be accepted for my passport application?
It produces a correctly-sized, centered photo with a genuine white background, which covers the most common rejection reasons. It doesn't run a full official compliance check (lighting, expression, glasses glare), so confirm against your country's current requirements before submitting an official application.
What if it says no face was found, or more than one face?
Use a clear, front-facing, well-lit photo with exactly one person in frame. Group photos, side profiles, or very dark/blurry images can prevent face detection from working correctly.
Why did it say there's not enough space around the face?
The tool needs visible margin above the head and around the shoulders in the original photo to compute a correctly-proportioned crop. If your photo is already tightly cropped to the face, take a new one from a bit further back.
