Passport photo requirements differ by country — the two most common standards are the US 2 × 2 inch (51 × 51 mm) square and the ICAO 35 × 45 mm used across the UK, EU, India and much of the world. The table below lists the official size and background for 25 countries.

Every country page pre-loads that country's exact pixel dimensions and crops your photo to fill without stretching or distorting the face. Because a passport photo is a sensitive biometric image, all processing runs locally using the Canvas API — the file never leaves your device, there is no upload, and there are no watermarks or sign-up.
Two standards dominate: 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm) for the United States, and 35 × 45 mm (the ICAO standard) for the UK, EU, India, Australia and most other countries.
Yes. Take a well-lit, front-facing photo against a plain background, open your country's page above, and the tool crops it to the official size. It runs in your browser, so it is free and private.
Most countries require a plain white or light-gray background, but some differ — France requires light gray or blue and Indonesia uses red. Check your country's row above for the exact rule.
