Canada Passport Photo Maker
Prepare a passport-photo crop for Canada using 50×70 mm and a plain white background as a starting preset. Upload a clear portrait to preview positioning and run automated checks for resolution, head room, centring, and background. These checks are guidance, not approval. For a Canadian paper passport application, the Government of Canada requires an unaltered 50×70 mm photo taken by a commercial photographer or studio and professionally printed. This tool is not a replacement for that service. Useful next step: use the crop guide as a pre-shoot checklist. If the official online-renewal route is available to you, compare the original, unaltered JPEG from your commercial photographer with its digital-photo size and framing guidance; do not submit an edited Pixoate output.

Frequently asked questions
- What size does the Canada passport-photo preset use?
- This page starts with a 50×70 mm output and plain white background guidance. It is a preparation preset, not an approval result. For a Canadian paper passport application, the Government of Canada requires an unaltered 50×70 mm photo taken by a commercial photographer or studio and professionally printed. This tool is not a replacement for that service.
- Is the Canada passport photo maker free?
- Sizing and a 300-DPI export are available without creating an account. AI auto-crop and automated photo checks use the displayed daily allowance; eligible paid plans lift the covered cap. Photos are processed on secure servers and auto-deleted afterwards.
- What does the automated Canada photo check actually verify?
- The automated report flags likely resolution, framing, head-size, centring, and background issues. It provides preparation guidance, not authority approval, and cannot fully check expression, glare, eye gaze, permitted editing, printing, or the latest administrative rules.
- Can I print the Canada photo at home?
- Do not use a home-printed sheet for a Canadian paper passport application. The Government of Canada requires a commercial photographer or studio, professional printing, and photographer information on the back.
