We all have that perfect photo. 

The one your friend took a few months ago…You know the one. 

What if there was a way to take that photo and make it your passport picture for the next ten years? 

There’s a way–as long as the subject’s face is clearly visible and the photo was taken within the last 6 (six) months. Keep reading to find out how a strategic passport photo crop can have U.S. citizens looking at their perfect photo every time they open their U.S. passport–all done without hours wasted on figuring out confusing cropping tools.

Crop a photo to passport size

There are numerous ways to crop an existing photo to a passport-size one, especially if the image has been saved in a high-quality format (e.g., .jpg between 54Kb and 10MB) or scanned at a minimum resolution of 300 px/inch (for physical prints). Some methods, such as using Photoshop to crop the photo, require a certain amount of technical know-how. While others (e.g., using Passport Photo Online) are so intuitive that almost everyone can figure them out. 

How to crop a passport photo online?
