About this tool
Crop a photo to official passport and visa sizes with published head-height guides, then lay out a print sheet.
This passport photo maker crops any photo to an official ID size — 51 × 51 mm for US and Indian passports, 35 × 45 mm for Schengen, UK and Indian forms — and shows the published chin-to-crown head band you have to fit inside it. It converts millimetres to pixels at 300, 400 or 600 dpi using the exact 25.4 mm inch, then lays out a print sheet on 4×6, 5×7, A6 or A4 paper. Everything runs in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded.
Open AI Passport Photo Maker on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Load your picture with the Your photo file picker, choose a Photo standard from the nine listed (United States, India passport, India PAN and general ID, Schengen, United Kingdom, Canada, China, Australia or Japan) and set Print resolution (dpi) to 300, 400 or 600. The Output size readout updates to the exact pixel size you will get.
Frame the face yourself — the dashed band marks chin to crown and the solid line marks eye level — using the Zoom, Move left / right and Move up / down sliders, then set Background colour to White, Off-white, Light grey or Light blue.
Pick Print sheet paper (4 x 6 in, 5 x 7 in, A6 or A4) and tune Gap between photos (mm) and Sheet margin (mm) until the Print sheet and Paper wasted rows read as you want, then click Download photo for a single passport-photo-<standard>-<dpi>dpi.png or the Download N-up sheet button for passport-photo-sheet-<paper>-<N>up.png. Copy result puts the whole specification on your clipboard.
Every size and head band is quoted from the issuing authority, and the source is shown next to it.
It works out how many copies fit on your paper, in which orientation, and how much paper is wasted.
Cropping and export happen on a canvas in the browser — no upload, no account, no stored photo.
51 × 51 mm — 2 × 2 inches — on a plain white background, which is 602 × 602 pixels at 300 dpi. The head measured from chin to crown should be 25 to 35 mm, so roughly half to two-thirds of the frame height.
300 dpi is the print standard, so before cropping, your original photo should be at least 414 × 532 pixels for a 35 × 45 mm photo, and at least 603 × 603 pixels for a 51 × 51 mm photo — both slightly bigger than the final exported file (602 × 602 px for the 51 × 51 mm size), since the crop rounds off a couple of pixels. Because cropping throws pixels away, start from an original of 1000 pixels or more on the short edge.
Four 51 × 51 mm photos fit edge to edge on a 102 × 152 mm sheet, or eight 35 × 45 mm photos with the sheet turned landscape. Adding a 2 mm gap and a 4 mm margin — the safer setting for home printers that cannot print to the edge — drops that to two and six respectively; the tool recalculates as you change either number.
It depends on the country. The United States, India, Canada, China, Australia and Japan all ask for plain white or off-white; the UK and the Schengen countries accept a light grey or cream background instead. The tool shows the required background next to whichever standard you pick.
