How this tool works
Upload a photo, and the background removal step runs a small AI model directly in your browser to separate you from the background — no photo editing skills required. From there, choose your country's official size, pick a background color (most countries require white, light blue, or light grey), and drag to position your face within the frame before downloading.
About the print sheet option
Many passport and visa offices, as well as photo print kiosks, expect a 4×6 inch sheet with multiple copies of the same photo rather than a single image, since this is the standard size most photo printers and pharmacy kiosks accept. The print sheet option automatically arranges as many copies as fit onto a 4×6 inch canvas at 300 DPI, with thin cut guides between each photo.
Getting a good result
Background removal works best on photos with reasonably even lighting and a clear separation between you and the background — a plain wall a step or two behind you tends to work better than a busy or dark background. If the automatic removal leaves rough edges around hair, try retaking the photo with more even lighting rather than a different background color, since lighting has a bigger effect on removal quality than what's actually behind you.
Frequently asked questions
Will this photo be accepted by my country's passport office?
This tool produces a correctly sized photo with a plain background, which covers the two most commonly rejected issues. However, official requirements also cover things like facial expression, head tilt, glasses glare, and lighting, which this tool cannot fully verify. Always check your specific country's official guidelines before submitting, especially for passports and visas.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Your photo is processed entirely inside your browser. The only network request made is a one-time download of the background-removal AI model itself (not your photo) from a third-party CDN the first time you use the tool.
Why does background removal take a while the first time?
The first use downloads a machine learning model to your browser so background removal can run locally rather than on a server. This is a one-time download per browser session; it is not re-downloaded every time you process a photo in the same session.
Can I reposition my face after removing the background?
Yes. Drag directly on the preview to reposition, and use the zoom slider to scale the photo within the frame before generating the final image, so you can center your face and shoulders correctly for the size guide lines most photo booths use.
