Your photo is handled inside this browser only. Nothing is uploaded.
It crops a photo you already have to the size a form asks for. What you see in the frame is exactly what you get, and the download is set to the right print resolution (mm × dpi) and, if needed, under a file size limit. It does not take the photo for you.
Nowhere. Cropping and saving both happen inside this browser, and there is no upload step at any point. It works with your connection turned off.
US passport and visa photos are 51×51mm — two inches square, the only square format here. Korean résumé photos are 30×40mm and Korean passports, ID cards and driving licences are 35×45mm. Japan uses the same pair: 30×40mm for the résumé photo and 35×45mm for the passport. Pick one from the list and the frame takes that ratio, or enter width and height in millimetres for a size that is not listed.
Only passport and visa photos specify how large the face must be. The US measures from eye level: the eyes sit 28~35mm above the bottom edge and the head is 25~35mm from crown to chin. Korea asks for 3~5mm of space above the head and a 32~36mm head, Japan for 2~6mm and the same 32~36mm. Choosing one of these draws the guide lines solid. Résumé photos follow convention rather than a published rule, so their guides are drawn faintly — showing them as firm would be misleading.
A size given in millimetres needs a resolution before it can be printed. At 300dpi a 35×45mm photo is 413×531 pixels; choosing 600dpi doubles that. For a print shop 300dpi is enough. When a site caps the upload size, enter that cap in kilobytes and the file is saved within it — only the compression quality is lowered, so the pixel dimensions and the format stay exactly as specified.
The crop is held in the coordinates of your original photo, not in screen coordinates. The screen draws that region small and saving draws the same region at output size, so no scale is ever computed twice and there is nowhere for the two to drift apart. An earlier version derived the scale from width alone and the height came out 0.8 pixels off — enough to leave a white sliver along the bottom when the frame was dragged to the edge of the photo, and invisible on screen.
Because it is not allowed. Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not accept photos retouched with editing software or filters, or photos whose background has been erased or composited — including anything made with AI. Since January 2026 the U.S. Department of State rejects such photos automatically for the same reason. So brightness and contrast are locked when you pick a passport, visa, or national ID size. Résumé photos follow convention rather than regulation, so they stay unlocked.
JPEGs made by a browser leave the resolution field empty, so print software reads them as 72 dpi. This tool writes 300 or 600 into that field as it builds the file. It changes only the stated resolution, not the pixels, so there is no loss in quality.
Phone photos often carry rotation as a separate tag. This tool applies that tag while reading the file, so the photo comes in upright. If it is still sideways, the original itself is sideways.
No browser except Safari can read HEIC. Either set your iPhone camera format to "Most Compatible", or export the photo as JPG first.
Check what the recipient asks for first. US passport and visa photos are 51×51mm. Korean résumés and job applications use 30×40mm, and Korean passports, ID cards and driving licences use 35×45mm; Japan uses the same two. If the size you need is not listed, choose “Custom” and enter it in millimetres.
For a passport or visa photo there is no way around retaking it. Erasing or replacing a background counts as digital alteration and is grounds for rejection on its own — the US State Department's guidance is to photograph again against a correct background. Résumé photos carry no such rule.
Enter the limit in kilobytes and the photo is saved within it. Only the compression quality is reduced; the pixel dimensions stay as the format requires, so the photo does not become smaller than the specification.
Not yet — it draws the guide lines and you place the photo yourself. Line the crown of the head up with the upper guide and the chin with the lower one and the result falls inside the rule. Cropping and positioning are not the kind of editing the rules prohibit.
What the rules prohibit is altering the face or the background; cropping and positioning are not that. Brightness and contrast do count as changing the image in software, which is why those controls are locked as soon as you choose a passport, visa or ID format.
