Prepare a suitable original
Start with a sharp, recent photograph of one person, facing the camera. Keep the face visible and lighting even. Leave room around the head and shoulders so the photo can be framed without stretching it.
Check the application route
A size preset is not a document requirement. Check the receiving organisation’s rules before choosing a background or submitting a photo.
A format, not a compliance certificate.
This tool previews your chosen aspect ratio and lets you try background colours. It does not apply a government biometric standard. Check your receiving organisation’s instructions before using the result.
Review the preview
The preview detects a face and suggests a crop for the selected shape. Head positioning is approximate. It does not verify all requirements, issue an official photo code or guarantee acceptance. Review the original against the official guidance before submitting your final photo.
