PassportBuild
Passport photo maker
Upload a photo and crop it to an official passport, visa, or ID size for the US, UK, Canada, Schengen, India and more. It all runs in your browser - your photo is never uploaded.

How it works
- 1
Pick your country and document. The exact size and head-position rules load automatically.
- 2
Upload a photo and drag to line up the crown, eyes, and chin with the on-screen guides.
- 3
Download the correctly-sized photo. Upgrade once for a print-ready 4x6 sheet of copies.
Tip: shoot against a plain, evenly-lit light background for the cleanest result. Automatic background removal is coming soon.

Questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device, which matters for a sensitive ID photo.
Will this be accepted?
PassportBuild sizes your photo and positions your head to each authority's published specs. You are responsible for a clear, recent photo with a plain background and neutral expression. Always confirm requirements with the official authority.
Do I need to pay?
No. Building and downloading a single compliant photo is free. The one-time $9 Pro unlock adds the print-ready sheet so you can print several copies cheaply.
