How to Make a Passport Photo Online Free
A passport photo needs the right size, the right background and your face in the right place — and a photo studio is not the only way to get one. This guide shows how to make a passport photo online for free, in your browser: the background is removed by a small AI model on your device, then you pick your country's size and background colour. Use the free passport photo maker below to make your passport photo in seconds.
How to Make a Passport Photo — step by step
- Upload a photo.
- Choose your country's official passport photo size.
- Pick a background colour.
- Drag to position your face within the frame.
- Download your passport photo.
Tips
- A clear, front-facing photo with good light and a plain background works best — no other people close behind.
- Most countries require white, light blue or light grey backgrounds.
- The first background removal is slow because the AI model downloads once — later removals are much faster, since the model is cached.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the first background removal slow?
The AI model downloads once on first use and is then cached by your browser, so later removals are much faster.
What photo works best for background removal?
A clear, front-facing photo with good light and a plain background works best. The subject should be centred and fully in frame, with no other people close behind, since busy backgrounds make the cut-out less clean.
