Crop a portrait to an official photo size - 1 inch, 2 inch, passport, visa or your own millimetre dimensions - optionally place it on a coloured background, and generate a printable 6-inch sheet with eight copies that a photo lab can print directly.
It is the fastest way to prepare a document photo when you already have a decent portrait: no studio visit, no waiting, and you keep control of the crop so the head is positioned correctly. Rules differ between countries, so check the official requirements for head height and background colour before you submit - the tool lets you match them, it does not enforce them.

FAQ
Which photo sizes are supported?
1 inch (25x35 mm), 2 inch (35x49 mm), passport (35x45 mm), US passport (51x51 mm), visa (33x48 mm) and custom millimetre dimensions. The 6-inch sheet arranges eight copies for printing.
Can I change the background colour?
Yes. White, light blue and light grey are the common requirements; the tool fills the background behind the portrait and can add a thin border around the photo.
Will the result be accepted by an official office?
The tool produces the geometry - the right size, aspect ratio and background. Acceptance depends on the photo itself: neutral expression, even lighting, no shadows, no glasses glare, and the head occupying the proportion your authority specifies. Check the official rules for your country before submitting.
Is the print sheet ready to use at a photo lab?
Yes: a 6-inch wide sheet with eight copies at the chosen size, downloaded as a PNG you can print at any lab or at home on photo paper.
What if my photo is not a portrait?
It still works, but ID rules ask for a front-facing head-and-shoulders shot. A casual snapshot will produce the right dimensions with the wrong content.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The crop, the background and the sheet are all generated in your browser - which matters for identity documents.

Choosing between JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF
These formats solve different problems, and picking the wrong one costs you either quality or file size. JPG is the safest choice for photographs and for anything you need to send to someone else, because every device and program opens it - but it is lossy and has no transparency. PNG is lossless and supports transparency, which makes it right for logos, screenshots, diagrams and anything with sharp edges or text, at the cost of a much larger file. WebP typically beats JPG by 25-35% at the same visible quality and supports transparency, but a few older programs still cannot open it. AVIF compresses even further, especially at low quality settings, but encoding is slower and support is the newest of the four. A practical rule: JPG to send, PNG to edit, WebP for your own website, AVIF when every kilobyte counts and you have checked that your audience can open it.
How much quality you actually lose
Lossy compression throws away detail your eye is least likely to notice - first fine texture, then edges. In practice most photographs look identical to the original down to roughly 75-80% quality, and differences only become obvious around faces, hair, foliage, fabric patterns and text. That is why a portrait and a screenshot need different settings: a face at 60% shows blotchy skin where a landscape at 60% still looks fine. Resizing matters more than quality for perceived sharpness: halving the pixel dimensions usually saves far more than dropping quality from 90 to 60, and the result looks better. If you need a specific file size, reduce dimensions first, then quality, and stop as soon as you hit the target rather than going lower than necessary.
