Passport photos, cropped in your browser. Nothing else.

A passport photo tool that never leaves your device

PassportCrop takes any photo you already have, a phone selfie, something a friend took, an old studio shot, and turns it into a print-ready, correctly sized passport photo. Pick your country, drop in the image, line your face up with the on-screen guide, and download the result. No app to install, no account, no watermark stamped across the corner.

What actually sets this apart from most "online passport photo" sites is where the cropping happens. Most of them upload your photo to a server, process it there, then hand back a result, which means a copy of your face sits on somebody else's infrastructure, even if only for a few seconds. This one works the other way around. The crop, resize, and export all run locally in your browser using the canvas element built into every modern browser. Your photo gets read from your device, processed on your device, and saved back to your device. It never touches a network, and as a side effect it keeps working even if your wifi drops mid-edit.

Passport photo sizing is a lot more specific than people expect, and it's different in every country. A US passport photo is 2x2 inches (51x51mm), with the head measuring 1 to 1⅜ inches from chin to crown. India uses that same 2x2in size but has its own rules around background and glasses. The UK, Australia, Philippines, and Sri Lanka all use a different physical size entirely, 35x45mm, each with its own head-height range and background rule. Canada is different again at 50x70mm, Bangladesh uses a 45x55mm standard size, Malaysia uses 35x50mm, and New Zealand skips a printed size altogether in favor of a digital 3:4 ratio. None of this is a minor detail: the software that checks these photos measures head position and size automatically, and a photo that's off by even a few millimeters is one of the more common reasons a submission gets bounced back. This tool has each of the ten countries' official measurements built into its own crop guide, so lining your photo up with the outline on screen is enough to land within spec. No ruler, no guesswork, no separate calculator to go check your numbers against.

It also doesn't do a few things most competing tools do by default. No AI background removal that quietly invents pixels around your hair. No automatic skin smoothing. No beautification filter running in the background. The UK's HM Passport Office, for one, is explicit that it rejects photos altered beyond a basic crop, and several other countries are heading the same direction. This tool only crops and resizes what you give it, so what comes out the other end is honest rather than flattering, which is really what you want when a border agent is comparing your face to the photo.

Whether you're setting up a shot at home with an iPhone or Android camera, renewing your passport online and need a fresh digital file, or trying to get a decent photo of a newborn who won't hold still, the process is the same each time: take the photo against a plain background, upload it here, crop it to your country's spec, and print it wherever's convenient, a pharmacy, a print shop, or your own printer at home. For the background, expression, and clothing rules in full, there's the passport photo requirements guide and the guide to taking one at home.
