Frequently asked questions
What size should a UK passport photo be?
At least 600 pixels wide and 750 pixels tall (this makes 900 × 1157). File size between 50KB and 10MB. In colour, unedited, and taken within the last month. Always confirm with GOV.UK before you apply.
Can it change the background colour?
No. It crops, resizes and compresses but doesn't edit the background. Take the photo against a plain wall of the right colour in good, even light. That's also what most authorities require, since edited photos can be rejected.
What if my photo or signature is below the minimum KB?
Some forms reject files that are too small as well as too large, and a plain image such as a signature can stay below the minimum even at full quality. When that happens, the tool adds invisible padding (a JPEG comment block) to bring the file up to the minimum. The picture itself is unchanged.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Cropping, resizing and compression all happen in your browser, and the photo never leaves your device.
Is it free?
Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
