Frequently asked questions
Is this passport photo tool free?
Yes. You can crop, preview, and download photos at no charge. There are no watermarks on exports and no subscription is required.
Are my photos uploaded to your servers?
No. Processing happens locally in your web browser. Your images stay on your device and are not sent to us for storage.
What size is a US passport photo?
US passport and visa photos are typically 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) with the head sized according to official guidance. Use our United States template and requirement page for details.
Can I use the photo for online applications?
Many online renewal and visa systems accept digital JPEG files within specific file-size limits. After downloading, check the latest rules for your application—some forms require a separate print version.
Will my photo definitely be accepted?
We help you meet common size and layout rules, but final approval depends on image quality, background, expression, and each authority's current standards. Always review official guidance before submitting.
Which countries do you support?
We provide templates and requirement guides for the United States, United Kingdom, Schengen area, China, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Spain, and other destinations listed on our requirements pages.
Do I need to download a passport photo app?
No. This is a free online tool that runs in your web browser on desktop or phone. No app store download is required—open the site, upload a photo, crop, and download.
Can I take my passport photo at home?
Yes. The US government accepts photos you take yourself if they meet size, background, and expression rules. Stand in front of a plain wall, use good lighting, then crop to 2×2 inches with our free tool.
How much do passport photos cost at Walgreens or CVS?
Most drugstores charge about $17 for two printed photos. Taking your photo at home and printing a 4×6 sheet at a photo kiosk often costs under a dollar. See our cost comparison guide for details.
Can you smile in a passport photo?
Use a neutral expression with your mouth closed. A slight natural smile may be acceptable, but a wide smile showing teeth is not. See our guide on passport photo expressions for more detail.
Is there a free passport photo checker?
Yes. Before you download, our built-in checklist asks you to confirm background, expression, head size, and other common rules. Complete each item to unlock your file.
Is this a passport photo maker, generator, or editor?
It is a free passport photo maker and generator—we crop your photo to official size templates with head guides. It is not a beauty editor or filter app; we do not alter your face.
