How to Make a Passport Photo Online

Take a front-facing photo with good lighting. Upload it to EditThisPic and let the AI handle the technical requirements: pure white background, proper head sizing, and correct framing. The AI is precise about the white background, which is where most DIY passport photos fail.

  • Visa applications

Requirements to Remember

US passport: 2x2 inches, white background, no glasses, neutral expression, both eyes open, head height 1-1.375 inches. Photo must be taken within 6 months. Have someone else take your photo—selfies can be rejected for being too close or having visible arm extension.
