Passport Picture Cropping Tool
Our built-in cropping tool detects your face and eye line, then aligns and trims your photo to match strict head-size and centring rules automatically.
Biometric AI Verification
Every upload is checked for head height, eye position, background colour, and lighting, so your digital photo for passport applications is accepted the first time.
Built for Passport Renewal

Instant Download & Complete Privacy
No subscriptions, instant high-resolution download, and no watermark. Create compliant photos for the whole family safely and securely.
Photo Rules You Can Verify, Not Just Trust
We built PixPassport with applicants and immigration document specialists, and we keep every country profile current.
Built From Real Applications
We tested PixPassport against thousands of real UK passport, US visa, and Schengen applications to fine-tune head size, spacing, and background checks that actually get accepted.
Rules Sourced From Official Guidance
Every country profile is built directly from government passport office and visa authority specifications, and we review these standards each time an issuing authority updates its rules.
Independently Verified Compliance
Each photo runs through automated biometric checks before download, so you can see exactly why a photo passes or fails instead of guessing.
Your Photo Stays Private
Photos are processed for your session only and are never sold, shared, or used to train other tools. You control the download, start to finish.
