Passport Photo Background Requirements (and How This Tool Helps)
Many countries require passport photos to have a plain, light or white background with no patterns, shadows, or objects. This page reuses the same AI from our Change Image Background to White pillar page, but is tuned for people searching for passport and ID background fixes.
Tips for taking a good passport photo before changing the background
- Stand in front of a plain wall: Even if the color isn’t perfect, a simple background makes AI cutouts cleaner.
- Use even lighting: Avoid harsh shadows behind your head or on your face.
- Keep a neutral expression: Follow your country’s official guidelines for expression and pose.
- Frame correctly: Make sure your entire head and shoulders are visible with some space above your head.
How to change a passport photo background to white
- Upload your photo: Use a clear, high‑resolution portrait with your face centered.
- Select “Portrait / People”: This model is optimized for human subjects and hair edges.
- Click “Make passport background white”: We remove the old background and replace it with clean white.
- Download and resize: Save the image, then use tools like Bulk Resize Images Online if you need exact pixel dimensions.
Important note
This tool helps you quickly create clean white backgrounds, but every country has its own detailed passport photo rules (head size, resolution, pose, clothing). Always double‑check your government’s guidelines before submitting photos.
