Choose a starting preset such as US 2x2 inches, UK 35x45 mm, or Canada 50x70 mm. The tool previews positioning and exports the configured dimensions. These presets are preparation guides, not approval; check the issuing authority's current size, editing, printing, and delivery rules before use.
usageMany authorities ask for a recent, sharp, front-facing photo with an even background, neutral expression, and prescribed head position. Rules for glasses, head coverings, background color, editing, and digital files vary, so compare the final photo with the exact document instructions.
tipsYou can use a preset or custom dimensions as a preparation step for visas, permits, student IDs, and badges only when they match that document's current rules. A passport preset is not automatically valid for another document, even in the same country.
featuresChoose the DPI and sheet size requested by the receiving authority or print service, and disable “fit to page” when exact physical dimensions are required. Do not assume home printing is accepted: Canada requires professionally printed photos from a commercial photographer or studio, and Australia requires professional-quality dye-sublimation prints.
qualityEditing runs on our servers and uploads are handled under our Security policy. The output has no Pixoate watermark. Review the current application requirements and the final photo before submission.
privacyOptional AI controls can preview a face-positioned crop and replace the background, while automated checks flag a limited set of likely framing or quality issues. Background replacement and other digital editing are prohibited by some authorities, so those controls are off by default and must only be used when the current document rules allow them.
featuresPick a country starting preset (US, UK, EU/Schengen, Canada, Australia or India) to unlock 'Auto-crop to face'. It detects and positions the face within the preset's configured head-size and eye-line guide. Review the crop and compare it with the issuing authority's current rules; the guide is not an approval check.
featuresThe optional Replace background control can switch the background to white, off-white, or light blue. Use it only when the exact document rules permit digital alteration and accept that color. The US, Canada, Australia, and other authorities restrict editing, so an original photo against the required background is the safer source.
featuresWith a country preset selected, turn on Check photo guidance. The report scores a limited set of checks such as face detection, resolution, head room, centring, and background. It cannot approve a photo or fully check expression, glare, eye gaze, permitted editing, printing, and current administrative rules.
qualityStart with high JPEG quality and the DPI requested by the print service or issuing authority, then compare the exported dimensions and file with its current rules. Do not assume home printing is accepted: Canadian paper passport photos and Australian passport photos require professional services.
qualitySet Print sheet to 4x6 inch, 5x7 inch, or A4 to tile multiple configured copies. Use the sheet only when the issuing authority accepts that print method and a test print measures correctly. Canada does not accept home-printed paper passport photos, and Australia requires professional-quality dye-sublimation prints.
usageChoose the relevant country starting preset, turn on Auto-crop to face and Check photo guidance, and use the quality and DPI requested for your application route. The report is automated guidance, not approval; compare the final image with the issuing authority's current requirements before submitting it.
tipsYes. Alongside the country starting presets, Other sizes includes 2.5×3.5cm, 3.5×3.5cm, 3.5×4.5cm, 4×6cm, and 5×7cm. A generic size performs a centered resize without country-specific positioning guidance. Confirm the exact dimensions and pixel or file limits with the issuing authority before use.
usageYes. New Zealand and South Africa presets include auto-crop and automated photo guidance for the configured 35×45mm format. Requirements can change or differ by application, so verify the current official rules before submitting.
featuresNo. Replace background works with a country or generic size, but it should only be used when the exact document rules permit digital alteration. Auto-crop to face and Check photo guidance require a configured country preset because those controls need a stored positioning guide; they still do not provide authority approval.
featuresThe Upload / online form mode includes a 150 DPI option for a smaller file. Use it only when the receiving portal accepts the resulting pixel dimensions and file size. For printing, select the DPI requested by the authority or professional print service instead of assuming one universal passport standard.
technicalUpload a clear, front-facing photo, pick a country starting preset, and review the configured crop and automated guidance. Export the selected dimensions, then verify the current authority rules for editing, background, file delivery, and printing before use.
usageNo app install is needed. The preparation tool runs in a browser on phone, tablet, or computer: upload a picture, choose a starting size, review the crop, and export the configured file. Files are processed on secure servers and deleted automatically; the issuing authority still decides whether a photo is acceptable.
technicalYes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 photos on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every photo is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.
featuresYes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 photos on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.
usageAlmost always one of three things. The file is over the 11 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking image gets refused.
troubleshootingCropping, rotating, resizing and framing keep your original pixels — quality loss almost always comes from somewhere else. The two usual causes are enlarging a small image past the resolution it actually has, and re-saving a JPG over and over, because each save throws away a little more. Start from the largest original you still have, and export PNG when the image contains text, screenshots or flat color.
troubleshootingPassport Photo Maker supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Premium supports batches of up to 60 files, with the applicable plan limits shown before processing.
pricingNo — Passport Photo Maker runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.
