Make a passport or visa photo and a print sheet
Choose the country and document, add a photo, and PrintSnip frames the head automatically, replaces the background with plain white or grey, and checks the head size. Save a single photo for online upload or a print sheet with many copies. Need a size that is not listed? Choose Custom and type the width and height.

How to use it
- Open Resize & compress → Passport/visa photo and choose the country and document (16 presets) or Custom size.
- Add or take a photo facing the camera in even light. The head is framed automatically; drag and zoom to fine-tune inside the guide.
- Keep “Replace background” on for a plain background. Check the head-size and resolution ticks.
- Save the photo (JPG at 300 DPI), make an upload version, or create a 4 × 6, 5 × 7, A4 or Letter print sheet as PDF or JPG. Print at 100 % / Actual size.
Good to know
- Rules change. Always confirm the current rules with the authority receiving the photo; PrintSnip does not certify acceptance.
- Some authorities do not allow background editing or retouching. Their rules come first.
- Printer scaling changes physical size. Print at 100 % and measure a test print.
