Convert Any Photo to Passport Size — Free
Upload any photo, auto-crop to your country's exact size, download print-ready.
No design skills or software needed. Our AI detects your face, removes the background, and converts your photo to the precise passport, visa, or ID size for over 180 countries — including the US 2×2 inch format. Runs entirely in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device.
How we keep your data private
Unlike other sites, we do not upload your photo to a server for processing.
- Local processing — AI models run directly in your browser using WebAssembly. No server-side code touches your photos.
- Zero data transfer — Your photo never leaves your device's memory. Nothing is sent, stored, or logged.
- Verify it yourself — Turn off your Wi-Fi after the page loads. The tool still works perfectly.

How the converter works
Three steps, no photo studio and no cropping math:
Step 1
Upload
Drop in any photo — a phone selfie, a webcam shot, or an old print you scanned. JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC all work directly.
Step 2
Auto-crop to size
Pick your country and document. AI detects your face, removes and replaces the background, and crops to the exact required dimensions and head size.
Step 3
Download
Get a print-ready 300 DPI file, a size-capped digital upload for online forms, or a 4×6 print sheet with two copies laid out.
Converting a photo to 2x2 passport size
The most common conversion request in the US is "2×2 photo" — the square 2×2 inch (51×51 mm) format used for US passports, visas, and green cards. Select a US document in the editor and the converter automatically:
- Crops your photo to a perfect square, 2×2 inches (600×600 px at 300 DPI).
- Sizes your head to 1–1⅜ inches (25–35 mm) from chin to crown, as required.
- Replaces the background with plain white.
- Exports a compressed digital file (600×600–1200×1200 px, under 240 KB) for online submissions like the DS-160, alongside the printable version.
For a deeper walkthrough of the 2×2 spec and every document that uses it, see the 2x2 photo maker. If your document uses a different size — 35×45 mm, 50×50 mm, or another country's spec — the same converter handles it; just select the right document and the crop dimensions change automatically.
Supported photo formats
Upload whatever your camera or phone produced — no separate conversion step is needed first:
- JPG / JPEG — the most common camera and phone format.
- PNG — screenshots, scans, or already-edited images.
- WebP — used by some Android cameras and web downloads.
- HEIC — the default format on iPhones since iOS 11. It's decoded automatically here, so you don't need a separate HEIC to JPG converter unless you just need a plain JPG for something other than a passport photo.
The exported file is always a standard JPEG, accepted by every passport office, print kiosk, and online application portal. If a form has a strict file-size ceiling, use the compress image to KB tool to hit it exactly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a photo to passport size for free?
Upload any photo to the editor and pick your country and document from the dropdown. The tool detects your face, removes and replaces the background, and crops the image to your country's exact passport photo dimensions automatically. Download the print-ready file at 300 DPI — the whole process takes about a minute and there is no charge for the conversion itself.
How do I convert a photo to 2x2 photo size?
Open the editor with a US document selected (e.g. US passport or US visa) and the tool crops to exactly 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) — 600×600 pixels at 300 DPI. It also positions your head to the required 1–1⅜ inch height automatically. If you specifically need the 2×2 format, our dedicated 2x2 photo maker walks through it with a document picker for every country that uses that size.
Will converting my photo to passport size reduce the quality?
No meaningful loss. The converter works from your original resolution and only crops and resizes — it doesn't re-compress unless you specifically export a size-limited digital file (like a DS-160 upload capped at 240 KB). For print files, the output is a high-quality 300 DPI JPEG, sharp enough for any photo printer or passport office.
Is my photo uploaded to a server when I convert it?
No. Every step — face detection, background removal, cropping, and export — runs inside your browser tab using on-device AI models. Your photo never leaves your device, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the converter still works.
What photo formats can I convert to passport size?
JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC (the default format on modern iPhones) all work directly — just upload the file as-is. The converter decodes it in your browser and outputs a standard JPEG passport photo, so you never need to convert formats manually first.
