Does the tool use AI or change my background?

No. It performs a manual crop, resize, and JPG export. It does not detect your face, retouch your appearance, replace the background, add filters, or use generative AI.

What are the current U.S. passport photo rules about editing?

The U.S. State Department says to submit an original, unchanged color photo taken within the last six months and not to use software, phone filters, or AI to change it. For online renewal, use the original photo and the crop or reposition controls in the official application.

What do the composition guides check?

The preview can show a center line and the U.S. digital eye-level band. It does not detect eyes or a head, so you must manually check the actual face position and every other rule.

Are the composition guides included in the download?

No. Center, eye-band, and print-cut guides appear only in the editor preview. The downloaded JPG contains only the cropped photo or repeated print-sheet photos.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The source image is decoded, cropped, resized, and exported locally in the browser. The tool does not send the photo to a processing endpoint.

Which source formats are supported?

The tool accepts one JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WebP file up to 20 MB and 32 megapixels. All results are exported as JPG.

Passport Photo Size Tool

Prepare a size-only identity photo from an existing image. Choose a square 600×600 crop, a 35:45 crop, a 240 KB U.S. visa file, or a 4×6 print sheet. This tool does not detect faces, replace backgrounds, or certify acceptance.

Size Preparation, Not a Compliance Product

Crop, resize, and export locally. There is no face finder, background editor, retouching, or official acceptance check.

Manual Positioning

Zoom and pan the original image yourself. The tool does not infer where a face, head, chin, or eye is located.

Four Size Outputs in One Tool

Export a 600×600 square JPG, a 600×600 JPG at or below 240 KB, a 413×531 35:45 crop, or six squares on a 1200×1800 4×6 print sheet.

Private Browser Export

The browser creates the JPG locally. No image-processing request is needed, and preview guides are excluded from the download.

Check the Issuing Authority Before You Submit

Size is only one requirement

Identity photos can also have rules for recency, head and eye position, expression, clothing, glasses, background, lighting, color, compression, file size, and print quality. This tool does not validate them and is not a substitute for an official photo service.

U.S. online passport renewal

The State Department says to upload the original unedited photo and use the crop or reposition controls in its application. Do not use filters, retouching, AI enhancement, or background replacement.

Read the official U.S. photo rules

How to prepare a passport-size photo?

1
Step 1: Check the Current Requirements
Open the official instructions for the exact country, document, application method, and date. Confirm whether outside cropping or resizing is allowed.
2
Step 2: Choose the Original Photo
Select a recent, sharp JPG, PNG, or WebP that already has the required background, lighting, expression, pose, and clothing.
3
Step 3: Position the Crop Manually
Choose the output, then adjust zoom and position. Preview guides are reference marks only and do not detect or validate a face.
4
Step 4: Download and Verify
Download the JPG and measure or inspect it against every official rule. The issuing authority—not this tool—decides whether the photo is acceptable.

Resizing photos for social media should be a cinch, but most editing programs are a pain to use. Of the dozen I’ve used, Instasize is the fastest, easiest and most consistent...

No. It only crops, resizes, compresses to a file-size ceiling when you pick the visa preset, and can tile a print sheet. It does not detect a face, check expression or recency, inspect the background, validate head and eye position, or guarantee acceptance.
