About this tool

Many forms need a small photo of a fixed size, and a studio can be inconvenient for a quick job. This tool crops your photo to a common passport or ID size, lets you zoom and move it until the face sits correctly in the frame, and can lay out several copies on a 4 by 6 inch or A4 sheet ready to print. Your photo is never uploaded.

How to use it

  1. Choose a clear, front-facing photo taken against a plain, light background.
  2. Select the photo size your form asks for, then use Zoom and the position sliders to center the face.
  3. Choose one photo or a print sheet, select Create photo, and download the JPG. Print sheets at actual size (100%).

When this is useful

  • Prepare a photo for an online form that needs a fixed size.
  • Make copies for a printed application without going to a studio.
  • Fit several photos on one sheet to print at a shop.
  • Crop a photo so the face is centered in the frame.

Tips for best results

  • Use a plain, light background and even light on the face.
  • Keep the camera at eye level and look straight into it.
  • Zoom so the face fills the frame the way your form describes.
  • Print at actual size (100%), never "fit to page".

Good to know

Sizes are common examples and are not a guarantee of acceptance. Always compare the result with the official instructions for your application.

Questions and answers

Which size should I choose?

Use the size written on your form or the official website of the office you are applying to. Common sizes are 35 x 45 mm and 2 x 2 inch, but requirements differ by country and purpose.

Does it remove or change the background?

No. It only crops and resizes. Take the photo against a plain, light wall in even light so no background editing is needed.

Why does my print look the wrong size?

Print the sheet at 100% or Actual size. If your print dialog says Fit to page, the photos will be scaled and will not match the size you chose.

Can I upload the print sheet to an online form?

No. Upload the single photo (JPG) to online forms. The print sheet is meant for a printer or a photo shop.
