How it works

01

Upload a portrait

Use a recent, front-facing photo against a plain background, ideally taken in even light.

02

Choose your document's country

Pixformet applies the exact millimeter or inch specification and exports at 300 DPI print resolution.

03

Download or print a full sheet

Get a single ready-to-upload photo, or a 6×4in sheet tiled with multiple copies for a photo printer.

Getting a passport photo right the first time

Passport and visa photo rejections are usually about size and framing, not the photo quality itself — a head that's slightly too large or small for the required proportions is one of the most common reasons a photo gets sent back. This tool applies the correct size and crop ratio for the country you select, so the proportions match what the application expects, rather than relying on a rough manual crop.

Because the photo is processed on your device, a document this sensitive never has to be uploaded to a third-party server just to get resized — it's cropped, exported at 300 DPI, and downloaded directly.

Common uses: passport renewals, visa applications, and ID cards that specify an exact photo size. Country rules on background, expression and head covering vary and change over time, so always check your issuing authority's current guidelines before submitting. If your photo's background needs to be replaced first, Background Remover is a good first step, and general crop presets (LinkedIn, social media, print) are available in Resize & Crop.

Frequently asked

Will this photo definitely be accepted by the passport office?

The size matches official specifications, but rules on expression, glasses, head covering and lighting vary by country and change over time — always check your government's current photo guidelines before submitting.

What does the background option do?

It replaces the area outside your crop with a flat white or gray fill; it does not remove or replace the background behind your head within the photo itself. For that, use the Background Remover tool first.

What resolution do I get?

Every export is generated at 300 DPI, the standard resolution photo labs and passport offices expect for print.
