Passport Photo Maker - The Most Private Way to Create ID Photos

Renewing a passport or applying for a visa always seems to come down to the same final hurdle: a photo that meets a very specific set of rules. The standard options - driving to a drug store, paying $15, hoping the clerk crops it correctly - are fine when you have time. The "online passport photo" option is faster but raises an obvious question: do you really want to upload your face to a stranger's server? OptiPix's free Passport Photo Maker is built around the answer being "no." Everything happens locally, your photo never leaves your browser, and you still get a fully compliant ID photo for 30+ countries.

What makes OptiPix's Passport Photo Maker different

The privacy story matters more here than for any other tool we ship. Identity documents and biometric data are exactly what you don't want stored on a random server - even briefly.

Zero upload.: Face detection, background removal, and the print sheet all run on your own device.

30+ country presets: - US, UK, EU/Schengen, India, Canada, China, Japan, Pakistan, UAE, Australia, and many more, with the correct mm dimensions, pixel size, DPI, and background color baked in.

Auto face centering: via BlazeFace (a 2 MB on-device model) - no cloud face API.

AI background replacement: using the same in-browser segmentation model as our Background Remover, with three CDN fallbacks for the model weights.

Print sheet generator: - tile multiple copies onto a 4×6 photo paper layout with cut lines.

Compliance checklist: - resolution, background, aspect ratio all checked before download.

Key features

30+ country presets: with correct dimensions, DPI, and background color

How to use it

1. Open the Passport Photo Maker.

2. Drop your selfie or take one with your camera.

3. Select your country from the dropdown - OptiPix loads the correct dimensions automatically.

4. Click Remove background (AI) for a clean white backdrop, then tweak zoom and brightness if needed.

5. Download the single photo or the 4×6 print sheet, walk to your nearest print shop, and you're done.

Who is it for

International travelers: renewing passports and visas without a visit to a photo studio

Immigration applicants: needing photos that meet specific country specs

Parents: taking ID photos of small children at home (much easier than the studio)

Anyone: who simply does not want their face on a third-party server

If you want to verify the photo's metadata is clean before sending it to an embassy, run it through our Metadata Viewer and then strip any remaining tags with the EXIF Remover. And if you also need a professional headshot version of the same photo, our Background Remover gives you transparent backgrounds for LinkedIn and résumés.
