Inside the Passport Room editor
The AI passes get a photo most of the way there; the editor is where you take it the rest of the way. Every control below runs on a canvas on your own device — no upload, no account, no watermark — and every change can be reset.
Open the photo maker, drop in a portrait, and the editor is the panel you land in after the automatic steps. It is deliberately split into two layers: the AI passes that do heavy lifting automatically, and the manual controls you use to fine-tune. Neither layer needs photography knowledge — the sliders have plain names and the crop guides tell you what the passport office wants to see.
The crop guides: where your head must sit
The most important controls are not sliders at all. After you pick a country preset — US 2×2 in, UK 35×45 mm, India 35×45 mm, Canada 50×70 mm, Australia 35×45 mm, China visa 33×48 mm, Bangladesh sizes, or a custom size in millimetres or inches — the frame shows guides for the correct head height and position. Drag to move, scroll or pinch to zoom, and rotate slightly if your source photo is a degree or two off level. When your chin and the top of your head sit inside the guides, the size requirement is met — at 300 DPI, at the exact millimetre dimensions of the preset.
The adjustment panel
The manual panel exposes nine sliders over the working photo:
| Control | What it does | When you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Brightness | Lifts or lowers the overall light level | Indoor photos that came out dim |
| Contrast | Separates you from the background tone | Flat, hazy source photos |
| Exposure | Recovers a global over- or under-exposure | Phone photos against a bright window |
| Shadows | Lifts dark areas without brightening everything | One side of the face darker than the other |
| Highlights | Pulls back blown-out bright areas | Shiny forehead or glare on glasses |
| Saturation | Colour intensity | Correcting a warm indoor colour cast |
| Sharpness | Edge crispness | Slightly soft focus from a moving hand |
| Clarity | Mid-tone definition | Flat skin detail on older phone cameras |
| Noise | Grain reduction | Low-light shots that came out grainy |
Your last-used slider settings are remembered in your browser, so the next photo starts where you left off — useful when you are processing the whole family's photos in one sitting. Everything is applied to the canvas in real time on your device, and a reset returns the photo to its untouched state.
Background colour, done compliantly
The background picker offers the colours passport offices actually ask for — white, off-white, light blue and grey — plus a custom colour picker for the rare form that specifies something else. Because the AI cut-out has already separated you from the original scene, switching background colour is instant and does not require re-shooting. If the edge around fine hair looks rough against a busy original background, reshooting against a plain wall will always beat any amount of slider work.
Outfit try-on
The outfit editor overlays a formal garment — one of five bundled options, or your own PNG — over your cut-out portrait. You drag, resize and rotate it into place, and "Revert" undoes it. Two honest notes: the result is only as convincing as your placement, and it is an overlay on your real photo, not a generated body. Used with a plain-collared shirt photo it turns a t-shirt snapshot into a formal-looking ID picture in about a minute.
AI face enhance, when you want it
Face enhance is optional. It runs a face-restoration model that sharpens and cleans up the detected face region — with a gentle "Natural" preset and a stronger preset for rougher source photos. It never changes who you are: the model is analytical, improving detail rather than generating new features. A very blurred or very small source photo will still look soft afterwards, because the model can only work with the detail your camera captured.
Export
When the preview looks right, export the single photo as JPEG or PNG at the preset's full 300 DPI resolution — no watermark, unlimited and free — or switch to the print-sheet editor to tile multiple copies for physical printing at true scale.
Everything on this page is free to use, works without an account, and processes your photo entirely on your device. Open the passport photo maker and try it — or read the full feature list and the AI roadmap for what is coming next.
