What the passport & visa photo maker does
This tool turns an ordinary photo into a compliant passport or visa photo, entirely in your browser. Pick your document type, upload a front-facing photo, replace the background with the required plain colour in one click, and drag and zoom to fit your head between the guide lines. Then download a single correctly-sized image or a print-ready 4×6 inch sheet with several copies. Nothing is uploaded, your photo never leaves your device.
Why make your own photo
Photo booths and studios charge for every set and every reprint. Because all the work, cropping, background removal and export, runs locally in your browser, this tool is free and unlimited. That is especially handy in the UAE and other expat hubs where residents juggle visa, Emirates ID and multiple-country document photos.

How to use it

- Upload a clear, front-facing photo in good, even light.
- Click "Make background white" to remove and replace the background.
- Drag and zoom so your head sits between the crown and chin guide lines.
- Download the single photo, or the 4×6 sheet to print at any photo lab.
Tips for an accepted photo
- Use soft, even lighting with no shadows on your face or the background.
- Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed and both eyes open.
- Remove glasses, and don't wear anything that covers your face.
- Face the camera straight on, head level, shoulders square.
Good to know
- Exports are at 300 DPI, the resolution photo labs expect for crisp prints.
- The requirements shown are a helpful guide; the issuing authority makes the final decision, so always check the official rules for your document.
