Passport Photo Generator — Free Online Tool

Select Your Country

Every country has specific size, background, and expression requirements. Select your country for the exact official specifications.

How It Works

Three steps to a compliant, print-ready passport photo. No photography experience needed.

1

Upload Your Photo

Take a selfie or upload any clear photo. The tool accepts JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats from your phone, tablet, or computer. Ensure your face is clearly visible and well-lit.

2

Select Your Country

Choose your destination country from 200+ options. The tool automatically adjusts the dimensions, background color, DPI, and file size to match that country's official requirements.

3

Download & Print

Download your compliant passport photo instantly. The file is print-ready at 600 DPI. Print at home, at a pharmacy, or submit digitally — whichever your application requires.

What Makes a Valid Passport Photo

Passport photos are rejected for specific, avoidable reasons. Meet these standards before submitting.

📐

Correct Size & Dimensions

Each country specifies exact dimensions (e.g., US 2×2", UK 35×45mm). The photo must be printed at 600 DPI minimum. Even a 1mm deviation can cause rejection. Our tool auto-sizes for every country.

🏳️

Plain White Background

Most countries require a plain white, off-white, or light grey background with no patterns, shadows, or other people. AI background removal ensures a clean, compliant background every time.

😐

Neutral Expression

Eyes open, looking directly into the camera. Mouth closed with a neutral expression. No sunglasses, heavy makeup, or head coverings (except for religious reasons with a signed statement).

💡

Even Lighting

No harsh shadows across the face or on the background. Even, natural lighting produces the best results. Avoid direct flash which creates overexposure and red-eye.

👤

Face Framing

Your face must occupy 70–80% of the frame. Head must be centered and upright, not tilted. The full face and top of shoulders must be visible. Hair should not obscure facial features.

📅

Recency Requirement

Most countries require the photo to be taken within the last 6 months. Some (like the UK) require within the last month. The photo must be a true likeness — not digitally altered beyond color correction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about creating a valid passport photo online.

Is the ProShoot passport photo generator really free?
Yes. The online passport photo generator is completely free to use. You can create, crop, and download a compliant passport photo at no cost. Optional professional photography services are available for an additional fee through our network of professional photographers.
What countries does the passport photo tool support?
The tool supports over 200 countries and visa types, including the United States (2×2"), United Kingdom (35×45mm), Canada (50×70mm), Australia (35×45mm), Schengen/EU (35×45mm), India (51×51mm), UAE (40×60mm), Japan (35×45mm), China (33×48mm), Brazil (30×40mm), and many more. Select your country directly in the tool to see the exact specifications applied automatically.
What background color is required for a passport photo?
Most countries require a plain white or off-white background free from patterns, textures, or shadows. Some countries (like the UK) accept a light grey or cream background. The ProShoot tool automatically removes your background and replaces it with the correct color for your selected country, so you don't need to worry about finding the right backdrop at home.
Can I use a selfie or phone photo?
Yes. You can upload a selfie or any photo taken on your phone or camera. The tool will automatically crop, resize, and adjust the background to meet official passport photo specifications. For best results, ensure your face is well-lit with even natural light, your face fills most of the frame, and you have a neutral expression with eyes open and mouth closed.
How recent does my passport photo need to be?
Most countries require the photo to be taken within the last 6 months. The US State Department requires photos within the last 6 months, while the UK requires photos taken within the last month. The photo must accurately reflect your current appearance — if your appearance has changed significantly (new hairstyle, facial hair, weight changes), you should take a new photo.
What expression should I have in my passport photo?
A neutral expression with your mouth closed is required for most countries. Some countries allow a natural, closed-mouth smile. Your eyes must be open, looking directly at the camera, with both eyes fully visible. Do not squint, raise your eyebrows, or tilt your head. Glasses are no longer allowed in US passport photos (since 2016) or UK photos.
Can I wear glasses in my passport photo?
Most countries, including the US (since 2016) and UK, no longer allow glasses in passport photos. Exceptions may apply for medical reasons with a signed statement from a doctor or ophthalmologist. For the safest outcome, always remove glasses before taking your passport photo to avoid application rejection and delays.
