Seven Hills LabsFree US Passport Photo Maker
Make a US passport photo (2×2 in) from any photo: replace the background, reduce shadows, and crop the face automatically. Your photo is processed in your browser; only the finished 2×2 crop is sent to our server to make the print files, and it's discarded immediately.
Print the 4×6 at actual size / 100% (no "fit to page") at any photo kiosk or at home, then cut along the light gray lines.
How to use it
- Upload a front-facing photo of yourself, taken in the last 6 months, with even lighting and a neutral expression.
- The tool finds your face, replaces the background with white and crops to the US 2×2 inch size automatically.
- Check the size checklist. Use the sliders to fine-tune the crop if needed.
- Download the 4×6 print (6 photos) and print it at actual size at a photo kiosk or at home, then cut along the gray lines.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a US passport photo?
A US passport photo is 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm). The head, from the bottom of the chin to the top of the hair, must be 1 to 1⅜ inches tall, and the eyes must be 1⅛ to 1⅜ inches from the bottom of the photo. This tool checks both for you.
What background color is required?
US passport photos need a plain white or off-white background with no patterns, objects or shadows. The tool replaces your background with white by default.
How do I print passport photos at CVS, Walgreens or Walmart?
Download the free 4×6 print, then order a standard 4×6 photo print online or at the store kiosk. Choose actual size / no cropping. You will get 6 passport photos on one print, which you cut apart along the light gray lines. The State Department requires photo-quality paper, matte or glossy.
Can I use this photo for an online passport renewal?
The single 2×2 download is 600 × 600 pixels, the minimum size the State Department asks for digital photos. Check the current online renewal instructions before submitting.
Can I wear glasses in a passport photo?
No. Glasses are not allowed in US passport photos except in rare medical cases with a signed doctor’s note. Also avoid hats, head coverings (unless religious or medical) and headphones.
Is my photo uploaded or stored?
Face detection and background removal run in your browser, so your original photo never leaves your device. Only the finished 2×2 crop is sent to our server to make the print file, and it is discarded right away.
Will my photo be accepted?
We follow the published US size and background rules, but this tool is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of State and can’t guarantee acceptance. Make sure your expression is neutral, both eyes are open and the photo is recent.
