Passport photo cropping tool

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 US citizens looking at their perfect photo every time they open their US 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. 

When taking a passport photo, it is crucial to have the correct dimensions. Cutting a regular photo to size can result in rejection, as the US passport agents have specific requirements for a passport size photo. Therefore, it is always best to use a digital passport photo tool to ensure the dimensions are correct.

How to crop a passport photo online?

There’s an abundance of online photo croppers available on the internet, including the free cropping tool provided by the US Department of State. There are also third-party companies such as 123passport, IDPhoto4You, and persofoto.com, all offering photo cropping services at varying prices. 

While outcomes and levels of service vary using third-party software, only Passport Photo Online offers a 100% compliance or double-your-money-back guarantee. Couple our industry-leading guarantee with our simple 3-step process, and it’s no wonder we have over 3,800 5⭐ ratings on Trustpilot.com. 

To get a compliant biometric photo with Passport Photo Online, simply

  1. Click on the “Upload a photo” button and select the source image for the passport photo.
  2. Our state-of-the-art software automatically crops your image to the government-mandated standard while simultaneously removing any background items and/or other impurities.
  3. Your government-compliant passport photo is ready to download in seconds, with optional physical prints delivered to any address in the US (for in-person passport applications or renewals by mail).

That’s all there is to it. No advanced technical skills or wasted hours figuring out confusing online cropping tools. 

Crop a photo to passport size on iPhone

The 3-step process mentioned above can also be repeated using our dedicated iOS application. By downloading our app, users have the additional option of snapping their passport photo using their mobile device’s camera or uploading an existing photo and having the software crop the photo to the required specifications.

Cropping a photo to passport size on Android

Don't worry Android users, we have you covered with our dedicated Android app. Simply fire up the app and snap a new passport photo at will or use an existing photo as the image source–the choice is up to you. Whatever your decision, the application will crop any compatible image into a US passport photo.

No need to cut passport photos manually 

Here at Passport Photo Online, we’ve tried to make getting passport photos as easy as possible–during every step of the process. That’s why our image cropping and background removal are done automatically and why our photos are delivered pre-cut to any address in the US – there’s no risk of human error and subsequent photo rejection.

By using our convenient service, there’s never any need to cut passport-size photos out of templates. Once your photos arrive in the mail, you’re good to go, with no additional actions required. 

Passport Photo Online–your personal passport photo cropper

While there are many ways to crop a photo to passport size, wouldn't you rather spend your time doing something other than fiddling with complicated software? With Passport Photo Online’s intuitive interface, there’s no need to spend hours trying to get your favorite photo to comply with US regulations–everything is done automatically!

Also, with all of our photos guaranteed to comply with US regulations (or double your money back) and arriving pre-cut, there is no risk your passport photo will be rejected due to faulty cropping or cutting.

So why not upload that favorite photo (starring you) and take our highly-rated service for a spin?
