Why these tools never upload your photo
Every operation here — compression, cropping, resizing, metadata removal — runs in your browser's own image engine. The photo goes from your disk to this tab and back to your disk; no server ever sees it. For passport photos, ID documents, and family pictures, that's not a nice-to-have — it's the whole point.
Passport photo rules that actually get enforced
Most rejected applications fail on the same few points: the head is too small or too large in the frame (aim for 50–70% of the photo height), there are shadows on the face or background, the expression isn't neutral, or the photo was taken at an angle. Use even, front-facing light, stand half a metre from a plain pale wall, and have someone else take the shot from eye level — then crop to your country's exact dimensions in the Passport tab.

Frequently asked questions
What metadata does the EXIF remover strip?
Everything — GPS coordinates, camera make and model, capture time, editing software tags. The image is redrawn pixel-by-pixel into a fresh file that simply has no metadata section.
Will the passport photo be accepted?
The tool guarantees the exact dimensions and print resolution. Content rules — expression, background, shadows — are on you; the checklist above covers the common rejections. Always verify against your country's official guidance.
Is there a file size limit?
Your device's memory is the only limit — phone photos up to 20+ megapixels process in a moment on any modern device.
