How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Choose a clear photo where the area you want to edit is visible.

    Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.

  2. Describe your edit

    Type what you want: 'edit this photo for passport compliance — pure white background, correct head size, even lighting, no shadows.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Ensure your selfie has even lighting on your face — the AI handles the rest.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Passport Photo edit this photo for a US passport — pure white background, head centered, 70-80% of frame height, even lighting, no shadows behind head
    Try This →
    UK passport compliance edit this photo to UK passport standards — plain cream/white background, neutral expression, sharp focus on face, no glasses
    Try This →
    Fix background and lighting replace the background with pure white, correct the lighting to be even with no shadows, and sharpen the photo for passport use
    Try This →
    Crop and resize for print crop and format this photo to passport photo dimensions — 2x2 inches at 300dpi, centered head, white background
    Try This →
    2 more prompts
    Remove glasses for compliance remove glasses from this photo, then format for passport use — white background, centered head, even lighting
    Try This →
    Emergency same-day passport quickly edit this casual photo to passport compliance — white background, correct head position, sharp and professional
    Try This →

  3. Review the result

    Check the output carefully. Look for natural blending, consistent lighting, and realistic details. Compare before and after using the slider.

  4. Refine if needed

    If specific areas need adjustment, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most edits work well on the first try.

    Tip: Markers are optional. Try without them first — the AI usually gets it right.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from the description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to edit, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus. Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Result looks unnatural

Why: The AI may need more specific guidance about the look you want.

Try: Add 'natural lighting and sharp details that match the rest of the photo' to your prompt
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'natural' and 'realistic' to your prompt helps the AI prioritize believability.

Lighting doesn't match

Why: The edited area has different lighting than the original scene.

Try: Add: 'match the lighting direction and color temperature of the original photo'
Try This →

Tip: If light comes from one side in the original, mention it: 'with light from the left side.'

Edges look rough or artificial

Why: Transitions between edited and unedited areas need refinement.

Try: Tap markers on the rough edges and regenerate: 'refine these edges for a seamless blend'
Try This →

Tip: Edge refinement is the most common adjustment — markers on problem areas make it quick.

Quick answers

Can AI make a passport-compliant photo?

Yes. Upload a clear selfie and type 'edit for passport compliance — white background, correct head size, even lighting.' EditThisPic handles the background, crop, and lighting. Free, no signup.

What are the passport photo requirements?

Most countries require: plain white or off-white background, head covering 70-80% of frame, even lighting with no shadows, neutral expression, and no glasses. EditThisPic applies these automatically when you describe them.

Can I use this for a US passport?

Yes. Describe US requirements in your prompt — 'white background, head 70-80% of frame, even lighting, no shadows.' Always verify the result against official USDS guidelines before submitting.

Is the photo ready to print after editing?

Yes. Download the edited photo and take it to any pharmacy or photo center for 2x2 inch printing. Walgreens, CVS, and FedEx all offer this service.

What if my original photo isn't perfect?

The AI can fix background, lighting, and crop — but cannot recover very blurry photos or correct a non-front-facing pose. Take a clear, front-facing selfie in good light for best results.

Is this free?

Yes. One free Quick edit per week with no signup. Additional edits from $1.99. Far cheaper than in-store passport photo services.

Does this work for child passport photos?

Yes. Same process — upload a clear front-facing photo and describe passport requirements. The AI adjusts background and lighting regardless of the subject's age.

Is there a watermark on the downloaded photo?

No. EditThisPic never adds watermarks. Your passport photo downloads clean and ready to print.
