Take the photo against any wall at home, then replace the background with the plain white most passport offices require.
Most countries require passport photos on a plain, light background with no shadows — the US asks for white or off-white, many others for light grey or white. A home wall rarely qualifies.
Removing the background and placing the head-and-shoulders shot on white solves the backdrop. Size and framing rules still apply, so crop to your country's exact dimensions afterwards.
Take a straight-on photo: Face the camera, neutral expression, even light, no glasses glare. Leave space above the head.
Remove the background: Precision mode keeps hair edges natural instead of cut-out.
Place on white and crop: Crop to your country's size (e.g. 2×2 in for US, 35×45 mm for EU/UK).
Natural hair edges: Matting avoids the jagged outline that gets photos rejected.
Face untouched: Only the background changes — passport rules forbid altering your face.
Full resolution: Prints sharply at photo-booth quality.
Are edited passport photos allowed? Changing the background is generally accepted, but altering your face, skin or features is not. Always check your passport office's rules.
What size is a passport photo? US: 2×2 inches (51×51 mm). UK and most of the EU: 35×45 mm. Other countries vary.
Can I use a selfie? Selfies held at arm's length distort faces. Use a timer or ask someone to take the photo from about 1.5 m away.
