Frequently asked questions

What size is a uk passport photo?
35×45 mm, which is 413×531 pixels at 300 DPI. The tool saves exactly that size and writes the DPI into the file, so it prints at the right size.
Can I change the background?
Yes. Tick “Replace the background” and an on-device AI model cuts you out and puts you on a plain light grey or cream background (the colour is set for this document and can be changed). The model runs in your browser; your photo is never uploaded.
Can I print it at home or at a photo shop?
Yes. Download a 4×6 in, 10×15 cm, 5×7 in or A4 sheet with the photos tiled edge to edge and cut marks, as a JPG or a PDF at exact print size.
Will it be accepted?
The guides, head-size check and background help you meet the published rules, but acceptance is up to the issuing authority, and rules change. Check the official site before you submit.
