How it works

  1. Upload your existing photo

    Drop any photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. The photo should show your face clearly, looking at the camera. Portraits, headshots, LinkedIn photos, and even cropped group photos work well as long as your face is clearly visible.

    Expect: Standard conversion: 30-40 seconds. Photos with complex backgrounds or unusual angles: 45-60 seconds.
  2. Describe the passport photo conversion

    Type your instruction: 'convert this photo to a passport photo with plain white background, head centered, shoulders visible' or 'make this a passport photo for US passport application with white backdrop.' Specify the country if you need specific dimensions.

    Tip: Mention if the original photo has glasses, hat, or other items that need removal: 'convert to passport photo, remove sunglasses, white background.'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Convert headshot to US passport photo convert this photo to a US passport photo with plain white background, head centered, both ears visible, neutral expression
    LinkedIn photo to passport photo turn this professional headshot into a passport photo with clean white background and shoulders visible, keep my natural expression
    Casual photo to passport format convert this casual photo to a passport photo, replace the background with pure white, center my head, show top of shoulders
    Group photo crop to passport crop just me from this photo and convert to a passport photo with white background, head centered and properly framed
    3 more prompts
    Remove accessories for passport compliance convert to passport photo with white background, remove sunglasses and hat, keep natural hair visible, both ears showing
    Fix uneven lighting for passport convert this to a passport photo with even white background, fix the uneven lighting on my face so both sides are evenly lit
    Canadian passport photo format convert this photo to a Canadian passport photo with plain white background, head centered, 70% of frame, neutral closed-mouth expression
  3. Verify the conversion

    Check that the background is uniformly white with no remnants of the original scene. Verify head centering, that both ears are visible, and shoulders are properly framed. Zoom in to inspect edges where your hair meets the new white background.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If traces of the original background remain, especially in hair edges or around shoulders, tap markers on those areas and regenerate. Most conversions from clear portraits come out clean on the first try.

    Tip: For photos with very busy original backgrounds, place markers near hair edges where the old background might bleed through.

If something looks off

Original background showing through in spots

Why: Complex or colorful original backgrounds can leave traces, especially near hair edges and around ears where the old scene bleeds through.

Try: Tap markers on the areas where the original background shows through, then regenerate: make the background completely white with no traces of the original scene

Tip: Photos taken against solid-color walls convert more cleanly than those with busy, multi-colored backgrounds.

Lighting looks different on each side of face

Why: The original photo had directional lighting (like a window on one side) that looks unnatural against a uniform white background.

Try: convert to passport photo with pure white background and even out the lighting on both sides of my face naturally

Tip: Original photos with even, front-facing lighting produce the best passport photo conversions.

Head is not centered properly after conversion

Why: The original photo had the subject off-center or the AI didn't reframe correctly for passport dimensions.

Try: convert to passport photo with white background, center my head horizontally and place my eyes at approximately one-third from the top

Tip: Specifying exact positioning ('eyes at one-third from top') gives the AI a clear target for passport-standard framing.

Original clothing looks wrong against white background

Why: White or very light clothing can blend into the white background, making edges look ragged or the outfit disappear.

Try: convert to passport photo with white background, keep a clear defined edge between my clothing and the background

Tip: If you're choosing which photo to convert, pick one where you're wearing darker clothing for the cleanest result.

Too much or too little of shoulders showing

Why: The original photo's crop was too tight (no shoulders) or too wide (showing too much body).

Try: convert to passport photo showing head and just the top of shoulders, head should fill about 70% of the frame height

Tip: The ideal passport photo shows your head filling 70-80% of the frame with the very top of your shoulders visible.

Quick answers

Can I make a passport photo from an existing photo instead of taking a new one?

Yes! Upload any existing photo where your face is clearly visible and looking at the camera. Type 'convert this to a passport photo with white background' and the AI handles background replacement, reframing, and formatting. Headshots, portraits, LinkedIn photos, and even casual photos work well.

What kind of existing photo works best for passport conversion?

Photos where you're looking directly at the camera, both ears visible, with even lighting on your face. Professional headshots convert best. Avoid photos where your face is turned, partially covered, or in harsh shadows. The original background doesn't matter - the AI replaces it completely.

Is converting an existing photo as good as taking a new passport photo?

For most purposes, yes. The AI produces results that match official requirements - white background, centered head, proper framing. The key requirement is that the original photo has your face clearly visible and well-lit. Always verify against your country's specific requirements before submitting.

Can I convert a photo that has other people in it?

Yes. Type 'crop just me from this photo and convert to a passport photo with white background.' The AI identifies you and creates a properly framed passport photo. Works best when your face is clearly visible and not overlapping with others.
