ID Photo Maker

Crops a portrait to the ID and passport sizes of Korea, Japan, China, Spain, Mexico and the US visa, swaps the background and lays out a print sheet.

ID and passport photos are specified in millimetres — Korea’s is 3.5 × 4.5 cm with the head between 3.2 and 3.6 cm — and a photo that misses those numbers comes back from the counter. This crops to the spec at print resolution and lays the result out on a sheet you can have printed. Pick a country first: the picker covers 7 countries and regions, each preset cited to the authority that issues it.

How to use it

  1. Pick the specification

    Choose the country, then the document. For Korea, passport and the resident registration card are both 3.5 × 4.5 cm; 반명함 is 3 × 4 cm and 명함판 is 5 × 7 cm. The line under the picker names the regulation each preset comes from and the date it was checked.

  2. Fit the head between the green lines

    They mark the top of the head, the eye line and the chin. The zoom and the two offsets move the crop; the lines do not move.

  3. Swap the background if you need to

    White or blue, using the chroma key from the background remover. It works on a plain, evenly lit backdrop and nothing else.

  4. Lay out the print sheet

    4 × 6 inch is what a photo counter prints; the sheet fills with as many copies as fit and tells you how many that is.

Common questions

Will this photo be accepted?

The dimensions and the head size will be right. Everything else the regulation asks for — expression, glasses, hair not covering the face, the background being genuinely plain — is your judgement, and no tool here validates it.

The background swap left an outline round the hair.

It is a chroma key, not a matting model, so it cannot cut out flyaway hair. Photograph against a plain, evenly lit wall — or keep the original background if it is already acceptable.

300 dpi or 600?

300 is what photo printing resolves and gives a 413 × 531 px passport photo. Choose 600 only if the place printing it asks for it — the file is four times the size for detail the paper cannot show.
