About ID Photo Maker
Pas photo and ID photo requirements are strict about size: 3x4 cm for school forms, 4x6 cm for Indonesian bureaucracy, 35x45 mm for passports and visas, 2x2 inch for US applications. This page crops your photo to those exact millimetres at 300 dpi, so the print comes out right on the first try instead of being rejected for being 2 mm short.
Need a different background? The same on-device AI that powers the background remover can swap yours for studio white, gray, blue or red without a green screen. Framing guides over the preview show where the crown, eyes and chin should sit, and dragging or scrolling re-frames the photo until it fits.
Besides the single PNG, the tool lays your photo out on a 4R (10x15 cm) sheet as a grid with 2 mm gaps, the way photo printers expect it, and hands you the PDF. Print it at any photo kiosk, cut along the gaps, and every copy is a correctly sized print.
How to use ID Photo Maker
- Choose a photo taken against any background.
- Pick a size: passport 35x45 mm, 3x4, 4x6, 2x2 inch, or a custom width and height.
- Choose the background: keep the original, or studio white, gray, blue or red.
- Drag and zoom the photo so the head sits between the guides, then press Generate.
- Download the single PNG at 300 dpi, and the 4R sheet PDF with as many copies as fit.
Exact millimetres at 300 dpi
35x45 mm really is 413x531 pixels, computed from the print size, not a rounded guess. Custom sizes from 20x20 up to 100x130 mm are supported.
Studio backgrounds, no studio
The background swap runs on your device with the same local model as the background remover. White, gray, blue and red, or keep the original.
Framing guides
Dashed lines mark the crown, eye and chin zones that ID standards aim for, so you can frame the face correctly before generating.
Ready-to-print 4R sheet
The PDF tiles as many copies as fit on 10x15 cm paper with 2 mm cut gaps, which is exactly what a photo kiosk asks for.
Getting an ID photo right, from selfie to print
Standards vary but agree on the basics: plain light background, face centered and filling most of the frame, neutral expression, eyes open and visible, no shadows across the face. For passports, both ears visible or hair tied back is commonly required; glasses are increasingly discouraged because of glare rules.
Have someone take the photo from about a meter away at eye level rather than using the front camera at arm's length: the distance keeps facial proportions natural. Even, frontal light, such as facing a window, removes the shadows that cause most rejections. Then let the guides do the framing: crown near the top line, eyes near the middle one, chin above the bottom line.
The 300 dpi output matters because print shops print at 300 dots per inch; a photo with fewer pixels gets upscaled and looks soft on paper. The 4R sheet uses 2 mm gaps between copies so cutting with scissors or a guillotine never touches the photo itself.
Tips for better results
- Face a window for even, shadow-free light; overhead light alone casts eye-socket shadows.
- Keep shoulders level and look straight at the camera; ID checkers reject tilted heads.
- Pick the background color your form asks for: white is the safest default, blue is common for visas.
- Print on glossy 4R paper at a photo kiosk, not a laser printer, for the colors and finish offices expect.
Questions and answers
Which photo sizes can I make?
Passport 35x45 mm, Indonesia 3x4 cm and 4x6 cm, US 2x2 inch, plus any custom size from 20x20 to 100x130 mm, all at 300 dpi.
How many copies fit on the 4R sheet?
It depends on the size: 9 copies of 3x4, 6 of passport 35x45, 4 of 4x6. The tool shows the exact count before you download.
Can it change my photo's background?
Yes. White, gray, blue and red studio backdrops are a click away, processed on your device with the same local AI as the background remover.
Is the photo uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping, the background swap and the PDF are all generated in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
Can I use the front camera selfie?
You can, but a photo taken by someone else from about a meter away looks more natural. Follow the framing guides either way.
