Take a photo

Line up your face inside the guide, look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, then capture. The picture never leaves your device.

Keep your head inside the oval, shoulders level, even light on your face and a plain wall behind you.

What you get

  • Exact output dimensions in millimetres, inches or pixels at the DPI you need
  • Country and document presets with source links and verification dates
  • Background colour tools with optional on-device background removal
  • Advisory checks for size, resolution, background and file limits
  • JPG, PNG or PDF export — plus print sheets — without a watermark

About this tool

Not every photo requirement fits a preset. Application forms, licences, examination boards, visa agents and HR systems each ask for their own size — 3 × 4 cm, 600 × 600 px, 2 × 2 in, a 4 : 5 ratio at 300 DPI. The Document Photo Maker is the general-purpose version of our passport tool: enter the size in millimetres, inches or pixels, choose a DPI, and the same crop, background and export pipeline produces exactly that.

Because the output is computed from your numbers with the standard 25.4 mm-per-inch conversion, the file you download has the exact pixel dimensions shown, and the DPI is stored in the file so that a print matches the physical size.

How it works

  1. Upload the photo. Any JPG, PNG or WebP works; very large images are reduced to a working size first.
  2. Under Size, enter the required width and height and the unit. Pick a DPI if the requirement is physical; 300 is the usual print resolution.
  3. Crop and straighten, adjust exposure if needed, and replace the background if a plain colour is required.
  4. Download as JPG or PNG. Use the compressor afterwards if a form limits the file size.

Good to know

  • When a form gives only pixels, choose the px unit and leave DPI at 300 — the DPI does not change the pixel output.
  • When a form gives only millimetres or inches, 300 DPI produces a print-quality file; 600 DPI doubles the pixels but rarely helps.
  • The Photo Size Converter shows the same size in every unit at once if you need to double-check.

Questions about this tool

What is the difference between the mm size and the pixel size?

Millimetres describe how big the photo is when printed; pixels describe how many dots the digital file has. They are linked by the DPI: pixels = mm ÷ 25.4 × DPI. A 35 × 45 mm photo at 300 DPI is 413 × 531 px.

Can I use this for a photo that is not a portrait?

Yes. The crop frame takes any width-to-height ratio, and the face tools simply stay out of the way if no face is detected.
