How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Use a photo with your face clearly visible, looking straight at the camera. Selfies and portrait shots both work well.

Expect: Standard passport photo conversion: 30-40 seconds. Photos needing significant background cleanup: 45-60 seconds.
Describe the passport photo you need

Type your instruction: 'make this a passport photo with a plain white background, centered head, and shoulders visible' or 'convert to passport photo format with neutral expression and white backdrop.' Be specific about background color and framing. No marking needed—the AI understands 'passport photo' formatting.

Tip: Mention the country if you need specific dimensions: 'US passport photo' or 'UK passport photo' helps the AI frame correctly.

Check compliance details

Verify the white background is uniform with no shadows. Check that your head is centered, eyes are at the correct height, and both ears are visible. Zoom in to confirm no background elements remain.
Refine with markers if needed

If shadows remain near your shoulders or the background has slight color variations, tap markers on those areas and regenerate. Most passport photos come out clean on the first try.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—you usually won't need them.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens when your photo has complex elements near the face.

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

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Background isn't perfectly white—has grey patches or color tints

Why: Shadows from the original photo or hair edges created partial transparency that the AI interpreted as grey tones.

Try: make this a passport photo with PURE WHITE background, ensure no grey areas or shadow remnants anywhere

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'pure white' and 'no grey areas' forces the AI to clean up subtle shadow remnants.

Face looks distorted or unnatural after conversion

Why: The original photo was taken at a very close distance or with a wide-angle lens, causing perspective distortion that the AI amplified.

Try: convert to passport photo, keep the face exactly as it appears naturally, only change the background to white

Try This →

Tip: Start with a photo taken at arm's length or further—closer selfies create barrel distortion.

Hair edges look jagged against the white background

Why: Fine hair strands are difficult to separate from complex backgrounds, leaving rough edges.

Try: Tap markers on the hair edges that look rough and regenerate: smooth the hair edges against the white background

Try This →

Tip: Hair edge refinement is the most common adjustment for passport photos—one marker pass usually fixes it.

Shoulders are cropped too tight or too loose

Why: The AI estimated the framing incorrectly for the specific passport standard you need.

Try: make this a passport photo showing head and top of shoulders, head should fill about 70% of the frame height

Try This →

Tip: Specifying '70% of frame' gives the AI a clear ratio to match official requirements.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the background before making a passport photo?

No! Just type 'make this a passport photo with white background' and the AI handles everything—background removal, reframing, and color correction. Only use markers if small shadow areas or hair edges need touching up after the first result.

How do I make a passport photo from a selfie for free?

Upload your selfie to EditThisPic, type 'convert this selfie into a passport photo with white background and shoulders visible,' and download the result. The AI reframes your selfie to passport dimensions with a compliant white backdrop. Free to try, no account needed.

Yes, EditThisPic makes passport photos for free with no account needed. Upload any portrait or selfie, describe the passport format you need, and download the result. No watermarks on outputs. Works for US, UK, EU, and other passport standards.

Will AI-generated passport photos be accepted at official agencies?

However, always verify against your specific country's official requirements before submitting. Print at the correct size (2x2 inches for US) on photo-quality paper for best results.
