What Is the IMG369 Passport Photo Maker?
This tool turns any photo into a correctly-sized passport or visa photo. It removes the background using the same AI model as IMG369's background remover, places you on a clean white background, and sizes the result to the exact pixel dimensions your country's passport office expects. The two things that get most passport photos rejected, a busy or shadowed background and the wrong dimensions, are handled automatically.
It's aimed at the situation where you don't have easy access to a passport photo booth or don't want to pay one just to get a file you could have produced yourself from a decent phone photo. Upload a photo, pick your country from the list, reposition and zoom until you're framed correctly, and download.
How It Works
Your photo is processed by an AI model that runs entirely on your own device to separate you from the background. The cutout is then placed on a white canvas sized for your selected country, and you can drag to reposition and use the zoom slider to frame yourself correctly before downloading. The AI segmentation step is the same technology used on IMG369's homepage background remover, just automatically pointed at a plain white backdrop instead of leaving the choice open, since white is what nearly every country's passport photo standard requires.
Supported Countries and Photo Sizes
Pick your country from the dropdown and the tool sets the correct pixel dimensions automatically. Here's what each option currently produces:
| Country / Region | Photo Size |
|---|---|
| United States | 2 x 2 inches |
| India | 2 x 2 inches |
| United Kingdom | 35 x 45 mm |
| Schengen / EU Visa | 35 x 45 mm |
| Australia | 35 x 45 mm |
| Canada | 50 x 70 mm |
| China Visa | 33 x 48 mm |
What This Tool Can't Check For You
Getting the background and dimensions right removes the two most common rejection reasons, but a passport office also checks things a piece of software can't reliably judge: a neutral expression with your mouth closed, eyes open and clearly visible, no glare on glasses, hair not covering your face, and your head roughly centered and level rather than tilted. Take the source photo in even, front-facing light, ideally daylight near a window, and have someone else take it rather than using a selfie angle, since selfies tend to distort facial proportions slightly and often aren't shot straight-on. Always compare your finished result against your specific country's official photo guidelines before you submit or print it.
The 4x6 Print Sheet
Passport photos are usually printed small, but most photo labs and pharmacies only print full 4x6 inch sheets. Turning on the print sheet option tiles several copies of your photo, at true print size, onto one 4x6 canvas, so one inexpensive print gives you a full set of copies instead of just one, and you're not paying per-photo pricing at a photo counter for something you could tile yourself.
IMG369 vs. Other Ways to Get a Passport Photo
A photo studio or your country's passport office typically photographs you in person for somewhere between 10 and 25 dollars, which is fine if you're already going somewhere in person but overkill if you just need a digital file quickly. Drugstore and pharmacy photo kiosks are cheaper and faster but still require a trip and an in-person visit. Other online passport photo generators exist, but many either watermark the free result, charge for the actual downloadable file, or require uploading your photo to their server to run the background removal. IMG369 does the same core job (background removal plus correct sizing) for free, with the processing happening on your own device.
| Method | Cost | Trip required | Photo leaves your device |
|---|---|---|---|
| IMG369 | Free | No | No |
| Passport office / photo studio | $10-25 | Yes, in person | N/A, photographed on-site |
| Drugstore photo kiosk | $10-16 | Yes, in person | N/A, photographed on-site |
| Typical online passport photo app | Often paid for the file, or watermarked | No | Usually yes, uploaded to a server |

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this photo be accepted by official passport services?
This tool produces the correct pixel dimensions and a clean white background for the country you select, which covers the two most common rejection reasons. It doesn't check pose, expression, lighting, or head position, so always compare your result against your country's official photo guidelines before submitting.
How does the background get removed?
The same AI background removal used on IMG369's homepage runs on your photo automatically, then the cutout is placed on a plain white background sized for your selected country.
What is the print sheet for?
Many photo labs and pharmacies print from a standard 4x6 inch photo sheet. Turning on the print sheet option tiles multiple copies of your passport photo at true print size onto one 4x6 sheet, so a single low-cost print gives you several copies.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Background removal and every edit happen entirely on your own device. Your photo is never uploaded anywhere.
