Resize image for passport and visa photos
Passport and visa applications often require specific photo dimensions and a plain background. This guide covers how to resize and prepare your image using our free tools.
Recommended image sizes for passport and visa

Why size matters
Authorities require exact dimensions and often a plain background. Resizing and cropping to the correct size avoids rejection. Our official photo maker helps you create compliant photos. For a plain background, use our remove background tool first, then resize image or the official photo maker. All tools run in your browser; we never store your photos.
How to resize for passport and visa

- Or use resize image to set exact dimensions (e.g. 600×600 px for 2×2 in at 300 DPI).

Tips
Always check your country’s official photo requirements. Use neutral expression and avoid shadows. Our official photo maker guides you through face position and background so the result meets common standards.
