Tips for preparing your photo. Confirm the requirements with the authority requesting your document.

Choose your photo size

Select a preset or enter custom width and height. Set the unit first and confirm the dimensions required for your document.

Inspect your crop

Keep the whole head in view and check the original image at a useful zoom. After background removal, inspect hair and clothing edges before exporting.

Check the print sheet

Choose A4, 4 × 6 inches, or custom paper. The preview shows how many photos fit. Use PDF and print at actual size to preserve the paper dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the standard dimensions for a passport photo?

Use the size requested for your specific document. The app offers 35 × 45 mm, 2 × 2 inches, 50 × 70 mm, 300 × 400 px, and custom dimensions. A size preset does not verify whether a photo meets application requirements.

How does the AI background removal feature work?

The passport photo maker uses a local browser-based AI segmentation model to distinguish the subject from their background. All processing is executed directly inside your web browser on your computer or mobile device. None of your image data is sent to external servers, ensuring total privacy.

What background color is required for passport photos?

Check the background colour requested for your document. After removing the background, choose a colour swatch or custom colour, then inspect the edges around your hair and clothing.

What are the lighting requirements for passport photography?

Passport photos require flat, natural lighting that eliminates harsh shadows on your face or background. We recommend facing a bright window to get balanced natural light, or using two light sources positioned at 45-degree angles in front of you. Avoid overhead lights that cast dark circles under the eyes.

How do I format the photo sheet for printing?

You can select standard print paper sizes like A4 or 4R (4x6 inches) in the settings. The tool will automatically tile multiple copies of your passport photo onto a single sheet with proper margins and gaps, complete with optional cutlines so you can easily cut them out after printing.

Is my uploaded photo secure on Shader7?

Yes, absolutely. The entire process runs locally on your system using client-side JavaScript APIs. Your photo is never uploaded to any remote server or stored in a database. Your data is private, secure, and stays entirely on your own device.

Can I make a passport size photo with a blue background?

Yes. Remove the background, then select the blue swatch or choose a custom shade. Confirm that the chosen colour is accepted for your intended document.
