This is the most personal file you own — your own face. Paid passport photo sites upload it to their servers and charge $9 to $17 for the result. This tool does the cropping, the 300 DPI tagging and the print sheet inside your browser tab. No upload, no account, no watermark, nothing stored.
Load a photo to start. The preview shows the exact crop, with the head-height and eye-line guides for the size you picked.

Passport Photo Maker — Free Passport Photo Online, Nothing Uploaded

Make a passport photo for free, with no watermark and no sign-up. Pick Turkey 50 × 60 mm, Schengen 35 × 45 mm, United States 2 × 2 in or United Kingdom 35 × 45 mm, drag and zoom your photo until the head fits between the guides, and download a biometric photo with a genuine 300 DPI tag — plus a wallet size photo print template on 10 × 15 cm, 4 × 6 in or A4 with cut lines. Everything happens inside your browser: your photo never leaves your device.

How to use

1

Drop in a straight-on photo taken against a plain, light wall in even light. The photo stays on your device — it is never uploaded.

2

Choose the country size. Drag, zoom and rotate until the top of the head touches the violet line, the chin the pink line and the eyes sit on the amber line.

3

Download the single photo at real 300 DPI, or the print sheet with several copies and dashed cut lines, and take the JPG to any print shop.

About the measurements — an honest note

The sizes in this tool are the ones commonly accepted by studios, print shops and application forms: 50 × 60 mm in Turkey, 35 × 45 mm for Schengen and the UK, and 2 × 2 inches in the United States. They are stored in an editable sizes.json file next to this page, so a new country is one entry away.

For Turkey, the Directorate General of Civil Registration and Nationality explains what a biometric photo must look like — face straight to the camera, neutral expression, plain background, nothing covering the face — on its own page: biyometrik fotoğraf nasıl olmalıdır. What it does not publish is a digital file specification: there is no official pixel count and no official DPI figure. The 300 DPI output and the 32–36 mm head height used here come from common studio and print practice, not from a published digital standard. Treat them as a good default, and check the current requirements of the office you are applying to.

The tool also tells you when your source photo is too small. If cropping to a 50 × 60 mm frame means enlarging your pixels, the “real detail” figure drops below 300 and you will see it — a tool that silently upscales and still writes “300 DPI” on the file is lying to you.

FAQ

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Your photo is decoded, cropped and re-encoded entirely inside your browser tab using canvas, and the 300 DPI bytes are written on your device too. Nothing is sent anywhere, nothing is stored, and there is no account. This matters more here than in any other tool, because the file you are working with is your own face.

What size should a passport photo be?

The widely accepted sizes are 50 x 60 mm in Turkey, 35 x 45 mm for Schengen and the United Kingdom, and 2 x 2 inches (about 51 x 51 mm) in the United States. Head height and eye position vary by country, so the tool draws a crown line, a chin line and an eye line for the size you pick. These are commonly used measurements from studio and application practice, not a digital file specification, so check the current requirements of the office you are applying to.

Why is there no background removal or automatic face detection?

Both would need a machine-learning model. Running one in the browser means downloading tens of megabytes on every visit, and running it on a server would mean uploading your face, which is exactly what this tool refuses to do. Automatic background removal also fails around hair and glasses in a way that gets photos rejected. So the tool gives you accurate guides and precise cropping instead, and asks you to shoot against a plain light wall.

Is the 300 DPI tag real or just a label?

It is real. The tool writes the JFIF density bytes inside the JPEG itself, with units set to dots per inch and both X and Y density set to 300, so print software and photo kiosks read the file at the correct physical size instead of guessing. A 50 x 60 mm photo comes out as 591 x 709 pixels, which is exactly 300 pixels per inch.

How do I print the passport photo sheet?

Download the print sheet and take the JPG to any photo kiosk or print shop, or print it at home on 10 x 15 cm photo paper. Choose actual size or 100 percent scaling and turn off fit to page or auto-rotate, otherwise the printer will resize the sheet and the photos will no longer be the right millimetres. Cut along the dashed lines.
