About Easy ID Photo

What this tool does

Easy ID Photo turns a photo you already have into a passport, visa or ID photo. Pick a size — or a country preset — upload an image, and the tool removes the background, crops to the aspect ratio the document requires, and exports at the exact pixel size and 300 DPI.

It covers the sizes used most often: 35x45 mm (UK, Europe, Australia and the Schengen area), 2x2 inches (US passport and visa), 1x1 inch (Philippine ID cards), 33x48 mm (China) and 45x35 mm (landscape ID cards). You can also type in custom dimensions when a document specifies its own.

Everything runs in your browser except background removal, which is processed on our server and returned immediately. There is no signup, no watermark, and no limit on how many photos you make.

Where the specifications come from

Photo sizes, head-height ranges and background colour rules come from the specifications published by the issuing authorities — ICAO Doc 9303 for machine-readable travel documents, plus the individual government sources cited on each size page. Pages that carry official citations show a “Last reviewed” date so you can see how current the figures are.

Requirements change, and consulates sometimes apply local rules that differ from what is published centrally. Check the application form you are submitting, and treat the official sources linked from each page as the final reference.

What this tool cannot do

It cannot guarantee that your photo will be accepted. Composition rules such as head size are shown as on-screen guides, but lighting, expression, how recent the photo is and the judgement of the accepting officer are all outside the tool’s control. If an application is important or time-sensitive, a professional photo service removes that risk.

Your photos

Uploaded photos are used to remove the background and are not stored on disk. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail.
