What is Passport Photo Maker?
The Passport Photo Maker crops any portrait to official passport, visa, and ID card photo standards with pixel-exact print DPI. Choose a preset - US passport 2x2 in, Schengen/EU visa 35x45 mm, Thai 1-inch and 2-inch, China visa 33x48 mm, Japan certificate 30x40 mm, or Canada 50x70 mm - or enter a custom size in millimetres, align the head inside the face guide, and export a print-ready JPEG (with a real DPI tag) or PNG. Everything runs locally with the canvas API: no upload, no account, no watermark.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a US passport photo?
2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) with the head between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches from chin to crown. The preset outputs exactly 600 x 600 px at 300 DPI.
Does the exported file really carry print DPI information?
Yes - for JPEG export the tool patches the JFIF header density fields to your chosen 300 or 600 DPI, so photo printing software reads the physical size correctly. PNG export uses pure pixels.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. All cropping and rendering happen in your browser with the canvas API. The photo never leaves your device and nothing is stored on a server.
How do I print the photo at the correct physical size?
Print at 100% / actual size and disable any fit-to-page scaling. Because the pixel dimensions match the mm size at the chosen DPI, the print comes out at the exact physical dimensions.
