What this does

Loads your portrait into a canvas, scales and crops it to the exact photo size for your destination country, and exports a print-ready JPEG or PNG at 300 DPI. Drag the on-image face guide to centre the head, then pick your country preset on the right. Optional 6 × 4 in print sheet packs as many copies of the photo as fit.

How it works

A passport-conforming photo is a three-rule problem: the file has to be a specific physical size (e.g. 35 × 45 mm), the head has to occupy a specific fraction of that area (e.g. 32–36 mm tall in a 45 mm photo), and the background has to be the colour the issuing authority wants. The tool above takes a portrait, treats those three rules as a deterministic geometry problem, and emits a print-ready file without uploading anything.

The pixel size of the output canvas is derived from the millimetre spec at a fixed 300 DPI — the resolution every photo lab the author has checked accepts without rescaling. The conversion is the NIST definition: 1 inch is exactly 25.4 mm, so the output width is round(widthMm / 25.4 × 300) and the height is the same with heightMm. A 35 × 45 mm Sri Lanka passport photo is therefore 413 × 531 px; a US 2 × 2 in photo is 600 × 600 px.

Given a desired head height — the midpoint of the country's published range — the scale factor that maps source pixels to output pixels is scale = headTargetPx / sourceHeadHeightPx. The crop rectangle in source coordinates has dimensions widthPx / scale × heightPx / scale, and is positioned so the crown of the head lands 10% from the top of the photo (the ICAO 9303 default; per-country head-height fractions account for everything else).

The rendering pipeline uses the same Canvas-API plumbing every modern browser ships: decode the file into an HTMLImageElement, paint the country's background colour as the canvas fill, then run the 9-argument form of drawImage with the computed source rectangle and the full output canvas as the destination. When the crop extends past the source bounds (e.g. a tightly framed selfie zoomed in to meet the 75% head rule), the tool paints the spec's official background colour into the letterbox area rather than stretching the image. Encoding goes through canvas.toBlob at quality 0.92 for JPEG, lossless for PNG.

A cross-check confirms the millimetre path agrees with the inch path: mm / 25.4 × dpi and in × dpi produce the same integer pixel count to within floating-point rounding noise, so the output dimensions match whether the spec publishes inches (US) or millimetres (most of the world).
