Frequently asked questions
Why does the file need to be at least 600 × 750 pixels?
HM Passport Office prints your uploaded photo, so it enforces a minimum resolution to avoid a blurry print. This tool always outputs at least that size.
Does this tool upload my photo anywhere?
No. Cropping, resizing and compression all run inside your browser using the Canvas API. The image never leaves your device — you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.
