Frequently asked questions

Which passport photo sizes are supported?

Presets cover US passport (2×2 in), India and UK passport (35×45mm), Schengen visa (35×45mm), and ID cards (25×35mm) — plus a custom option where you enter any width and height in millimetres.

Can I change the background colour?

Yes — pick any background colour. Plain white or off-white satisfies most passport and visa rules. Note this replaces the background colour on output; for actually removing a busy backdrop, run the photo through the Background Remover first.

How do I print multiple copies on one page?

Download your sized photo here, then open the GenRise Print Sheet Maker — it tiles repeated copies on an A4 or Letter page at the exact mm size, ready for a home printer or photo lab.

Will the photo be accepted by my application?

The tool produces the exact dimensions your application specifies — that part is guaranteed. Acceptance also depends on the photo itself: neutral expression, even lighting, no shadows, face at the right scale. Follow your issuing authority's photo guidelines when shooting.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. Cropping, resizing and background fill all happen in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device — a real advantage for ID documents.

Is Passport Photo Maker free to use?

Yes. Passport Photo Maker is completely free on GenRise, with no limits, watermarks, or hidden paywalls.

Do I need to create an account or sign up?

No. Every GenRise tool works instantly in your browser — no account, email, or sign-up required.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Passport Photo Maker runs entirely on-device using your browser, so your files are never uploaded or stored anywhere. All processing happens locally.

How does Passport Photo Maker work?

Passport Photo Maker uses your browser's built-in capabilities — Canvas, WebAssembly, and File APIs — to process files locally. Crop and resize a photo to an exact passport, visa, or ID size. Simply open the tool, select your file, and the result is generated instantly on your device.

Is Passport Photo Maker safe and private?

Yes. Since Passport Photo Maker processes everything in your browser, your files never leave your device. There is no server-side storage, no tracking of file contents, and no data collection.

Can I use Passport Photo Maker on mobile?

Yes. Passport Photo Maker works on any modern browser, including mobile devices. It is fully responsive and optimized for both desktop and mobile use.

Choose the background colour (white is the safe default for most applications), zoom to position your face correctly, and download a print-ready file.
