Always confirm the latest rules in Sources below (requirements can change).
What this tool will do
When you click Transform Image, your upload is resized to 900x1200px.
- Fit “cover” crops edges to fill the frame (common for passport photos).
- Fit “contain” keeps the whole image and adds padding (use only if allowed).
- Use Input/Output previews to verify framing before download.
How to take a compliant photo at home
- Use a plain background with even light and no hard shadows.
- Keep your face centered, level, and in focus (avoid heavy filters).
- Export using the official size preset, then download immediately.
Common rejection reasons
- Wrong size or aspect ratio
- Head too large/small or not centered
- Shadows or uneven background
- Blur or low resolution
- Eyes not visible due to glare or hair
Always verify edge cases (children, religious headwear, medical exemptions) in the official sources.
