Passport photos and ID photos have strict official specifications — wrong dimensions, wrong background colour, or incorrect head size can result in an application rejection. At imgresizr.com, you can create passport and ID photos at official dimensions for UK, US, and international applications, completely free — no photo booth required.

How to Create Passport Photos at imgresizr.com
Upload a recent photo taken against a plain, light background to imgresizr.com. Use the Background Colour tool to set the background to plain white or light grey — many passport photo rejections are due to coloured or patterned backgrounds. Use the Crop tool to create a 35×45mm ratio (7:9) crop, centering your face with your eyes approximately 29–34mm from the bottom of the photo (the standard face positioning requirement). Ensure your face occupies 70–80% of the frame height. Use the Resize tool to set the exact pixel equivalent at 600dpi: for UK (35×45mm at 600dpi = 827×1063px). Export as JPG for digital passport applications or print at the correct physical dimensions at a photo lab for physical applications.
