Passport Photo Maker

Passport Photo Maker crops your photo to an exact print size at a DPI you choose, then lays out a print sheet with as many copies as fit. It suits anyone who already has a suitable photo and wants to print it at a photo shop or at home on 4 × 6 inch paper, instead of paying for a photo booth. You place the crop frame yourself, so the result is exactly the part of the photo you pick.

How to use

1. Drop a photo on the box, or click it to choose one. JPG, PNG and WebP are taken.
2. Pick a Photo size. Two sizes are offered, each with the official page it was checked on and the date. Pick Type my own size to enter a width and height in millimetres or inches from the rules you were given.
3. Set the DPI. The line under the fields shows the photo’s size in pixels.
4. Move the crop frame over the photo by dragging it. From the keyboard, focus the frame and use the arrow keys, with Shift for bigger steps, and + or - to resize it. The buttons Smaller frame, Larger frame and Reset frame do the same.
5. Press Make photo for one picture, or choose a paper and press Make print sheet. Download either file.

Examples

A test picture of 1,200 by 800 pixels, with the United Kingdom size of 35 × 45 mm at 300 DPI, gives a JPG of exactly 413 by 531 pixels. Its print sheet on 4 × 6 inch paper holds 8 copies, 4 across and 2 down, in landscape, on a sheet of 1,800 by 1,200 pixels. The United States size of 2 × 2 inches at 300 DPI gives 600 by 600 pixels, and 2 copies fit on the same paper. Both files carry their DPI, so a print program that reads it prints them at the stated size.

Limits

One photo at a time, up to 25 MB, as Quick facts shows, with at most 50 megapixels. A custom size can be 10 to 100 mm or 0.4 to 3.9 inches on each side, and the DPI 150 to 600; those ranges are our own choice. A print sheet larger than 16.7 megapixels is refused, because some phones cannot draw a bigger picture, so A4 at 600 DPI does not work. Copies are spaced 2 mm apart inside a 3 mm border, with a thin grey outline to cut along.

This tool has no face detection and does not change, remove or whiten the background: it crops and resizes only. It does not check head size, lighting, expression or any other rule. It cannot tell you whether a country or an office will accept the photo; only the official rules can.

FAQ

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The crop, the resizing and the print sheet are all drawn by your own browser. The picture never leaves your device.

Why are only two preset sizes listed?

We list a size only after checking it on an official government page, and we show that page and the date. For any other document, type the size from its own official rules.

What DPI should I choose?

300 is a common setting for photo prints, and it is a rule of thumb rather than a requirement. Use the DPI the shop or the rules ask for when they name one.
