Question 1

How to adjust cropping and background color?

Accepted Answer

After selecting the size preset, use the zoom and horizontal/vertical position sliders to frame the portrait appropriately. The preview area generates in real-time at 300dpi. Background colors include white, blue, and red, or use the color picker for custom colors. This tool does not perform smart cutout; upload a photo with a clean background for best results.

Question 2

What is the 6-inch layout for?

Accepted Answer

Downloading the 6-inch layout automatically tiles the same passport photo in the selected size onto a 6×4 inch (15×10cm) paper sheet, making it easy to print multiple copies at a photo lab or self-service machine, saving the hassle of arranging them individually. A single download exports a high-resolution passport photo in its original size.

Question 3

Will the photos be uploaded to the server?

Accepted Answer

No. Cropping, background color changing, and layout are all done locally in the browser using Canvas. Photos are not uploaded to any server; they are cleared when the page is closed. The export is in 300dpi JPG format, meeting most passport photo printing requirements.
