Crop-first workflow
Crop around the face, not just the file size
Passport photos are rejected when the head is too large, too small, cut off, or off-center. The crop step gives you a fixed frame and visual guide bands so you can position the photo more carefully.
Use the crop as a technical aid, then check the final result against the official requirements for background, expression, glasses, head covering, and shadows.

FAQ
Passport photo crop questions
Can I crop a photo to passport size online?
Yes. Upload a photo, choose the passport-size preset, crop with the guide bands, and download the JPG from your browser.
Should I crop before or after choosing the size?
Choose the size first. The correct crop frame depends on whether you need 2x2, 35x45, Pakistan online, or custom pixels.
Can I crop a phone photo?
Yes, as long as the phone photo is clear, front-facing, and includes the head and shoulders. Avoid selfies for official passport submissions unless your authority allows them.
Does cropping guarantee acceptance?
No. Cropping fixes dimensions and framing only. Lighting, background, expression, glasses, and official review still matter.
