Prepare the crop before compression
An identity-photo portal may check several things: aspect ratio, pixel dimensions, file format, background, pose and file size. This tool helps with the crop and dimensions. It does not certify that a photo meets the biometric or legal rules of a particular authority.
How to make a passport-photo crop
- Choose a well-lit, front-facing portrait with space around the head.
- Select the ratio requested by the destination.
- Crop and resize, then inspect the framing before downloading.
Always verify the destination
Photo specifications differ by country, document, submission channel and date. Check the issuing authority’s current instructions for physical measurements, eye line, head height, expression, glasses, clothing and background. After cropping, use a target-size compressor if the portal also gives a KB limit.
