Make a passport or ID photo

Government and visa portals often reject photos that are the wrong dimensions or too large to upload. Start with Passport Photo Maker for size and background, then compress if the file still exceeds the portal limit.

Crop to ID size, strip EXIF metadata, and compress to a portal KB limit.

When to use this workflow

  • You need a passport, visa, or ID photo from a phone portrait.
  • The online application caps upload size in kilobytes.
  • You want a white background and standard aspect ratio before submitting.
  • You already have a social or profile photo to repurpose.

Tips

Tips for better results

  • Verify exact pixel and background rules with your issuing authority—requirements vary by country.
  • Compress only after cropping; shrinking first can make faces harder to judge.
  • Keep the uncompressed original in case a portal asks you to re-upload.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will this guarantee acceptance?

No. Rules for expression, glasses, background, and dimensions are set by each authority. Use this workflow as a formatting aid, then confirm official guidance.

Can I skip compression?

Yes. If the cropped file is already under the upload limit, you do not need to compress.
