How it works

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: Processing time varies by image. Complex backgrounds or lighting may need one or two focused refinements before review.
Describe your edit

Describe the current rule you need to follow, such as 'prepare this recent selfie with the plain background and centered framing my passport issuer requires; keep my face unchanged.' The AI can help with background and lighting preparation; it does not verify issuer requirements.

Tip: Start with a recent, clear image and preserve your natural likeness. Check the issuer’s current official guidance before you submit.

Quick answers

Can AI prepare a passport photo draft?

It can help prepare a draft by simplifying a background and balancing lighting. Keep your likeness unchanged, then compare the result with the current official rules from your passport issuer. EditThisPic does not certify compliance or acceptance.

What are the passport photo requirements?

Requirements vary by issuer and can change. Get the current official rules for background, framing, expression, file format, and any other requirements before preparing or submitting a photo.

Can I use this for a US passport?

You can use the editor to prepare a draft, but you must check the current official guidance from the relevant issuer before submitting. Do not treat an AI-generated result as certified or automatically accepted.

What should I do after preparing the draft?

Compare the draft with the issuer’s current rules and use the issuer’s required upload, crop, or print process. EditThisPic does not validate final dimensions, resolution, or acceptance.

What if my original photo isn't perfect?

Start with a clear, recent, front-facing photo in even light. The editor can help with background and lighting preparation but should not be used to change identifying facial features or create a misleading likeness.

Is this free?

EditThisPic is free to try. Check the current product pricing in the app before you rely on a paid workflow.

Does this work for child passport photos?

Use a clear, recent photo and check the current official guidance for the relevant applicant. The editor can prepare a draft, but it cannot confirm that any applicant’s final photo will be accepted.

Does this tool guarantee acceptance?

No. It prepares an image draft only. You are responsible for comparing it with the issuer’s current official requirements and using the issuer’s required submission process.
