- Plain, light background with nothing behind your head.
- Even light on the face, with no hard shadows on the face or background.
- Face the camera, eyes open, neutral expression, the whole head in the frame.
- No glasses if the rules you apply forbid them. Check the authority’s rules for hats and head coverings.
The passport photo maker opens with the Canada size, 50 × 70 mm, already chosen. Drop in a clear, front-facing photo, then move and zoom it until your head sits in the oval between the chin and crown lines. The zoom readout shows the current scale, and Reset photo starts the framing again.
The JPG is tagged at 300 dpi, so turn off any scaling in the print dialog and print at actual size. Canadian requirements are the final word on the photo, so look them up before you use it. The passport photo maker page covers the US and UK sizes too.

Questions
Can I wear glasses in the photo?
The on-screen guidance says no glasses if the rules you apply forbid them, so check those rules before you take the photo. Hats and head coverings need checking against the rules too.
Can I use a size from another country?
Yes, with Custom size. Type the width and height in millimetres from the figures the authority publishes. The list also has Schengen visa, Australia passport and China visa sizes, but any other size needs that entry.
Will my photo be uploaded?
No. The photo is drawn onto a canvas in your browser, and the file never leaves your device.
Are the sizes official?
US 2 × 2 in (passport and visa), UK 35 × 45 mm and Canada 50 × 70 mm come from each government’s own photo page, checked at the time of writing. The authority’s current rules always win, so check them before you apply. The Schengen visa, Australia passport and China visa sizes are the ones usually published for those documents, but a consulate can ask for something different. For any other country, use Custom with the size it publishes.
Why does the file say 300 dpi?
The JPG carries a 300 dpi tag, so a print at 100% comes out at the true size. Turn off “fit to page” or any scaling in the print dialog, or a print shop may shrink it.
Can I print the passport photo at home?
Some authorities accept a home print on photo paper, and some want a professional print or an online upload with its own pixel size. Check the authority’s rules first; this tool only makes the photo and the sheet.
