Frequently asked questions
Will this photo meet official requirements?
This page only takes care of the 3.5×4.5 proportions. Requirements for the background, head size and file size differ, so check them for your document.
How do I make the background white?
Use the background remover with the white option first, then crop the result on this page.
What resolution will the photo have?
The same as the cropped part of your original, with full detail. If the form sets a limit in kilobytes, use the 100KB or 200KB page afterwards.
How do I make a 3.5×4.5 photo at home?
Take a portrait against a plain light wall in daylight, then crop it here with the fixed 3.5×4.5 frame. Print it at that size or send the file, depending on what the form asks for.
I need a 3×4 photo. What should I do?
Use the Crop a photo page and press 3:4: that frame has 3×4 proportions.
Can I take a document photo with my phone?
Yes, a phone camera has more than enough detail. Ask someone to take it from a metre or two away, so the face is not distorted.
