How do I make my passport photo background white?

Take a photo facing the camera in even light, upload it, and the AI removes the background. Choose white (or light grey if your country requires it), set the exact pixel size with Custom size, and download as JPG.

    Download a transparent PNG, or swap in a solid colour, a photo or a blurred background first.

Check your country's rules

Most passports need a plain white or off-white background, but colours, sizes and head-size rules differ by country. Always check your passport office's official guidance before submitting.

  • Plain, even background
  • No shadows behind you
  • Exact size via Custom size

Tips for a good photo

Stand about half a metre from a wall, face a window for even light, keep a neutral expression and remove glasses if required.
