A free, in-browser tool that turns a normal photo into a spec-compliant passport, visa, or ID photo — background swap, face centering, and 300 DPI print-ready output, all processed locally with no upload or account.

AI Passport Photo, at aipassportphoto.org, is a free browser tool for making official ID photos. You pick a country and document type, upload or capture a photo, and it centers the face, replaces the background with the required color, and exports a print-ready file. The templates encode the exact dimensions, DPI, head height, and background color each document needs, covering 32+ countries and regions — the US, Canada, UK, Australia, China, Japan, India, Brazil, Germany, France, Mexico, and Schengen-area visas among them.
Its defining trait is that everything runs locally. The AI segmentation that isolates you from the background executes in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded to a server, and there's no account, login, or watermark. Face centering is automatic in Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge) and manual via drag-and-zoom elsewhere. Output is a single 300 DPI PNG or JPEG, or a printable sheet sized for 4×6", 5×7", or A4.
One deliberate limit is worth stating plainly: the tool does not invent or beautify a face. It crops, centers, and swaps the background to spec rather than retouching your features — which is precisely what a compliance photo requires. It gives no acceptance guarantee and advises you to confirm current rules with the issuing authority. Note too that "AI passport photo" is a crowded name: this is the free .org tool, not the paid, credit-based aipassportphotos.com.
The single most useful thing this tool produces for a creator isn't the passport photo — it's the by-product: a neutral, evenly lit, front-facing headshot on a plain background, at 300 DPI. That is the exact input a face-locked AI persona wants. The recurring pain in AI image generation is drift: ask most image models for "the same person" twice and you get two slightly different faces, which is fatal for a brand built on a recognizable on-camera identity. A clean, unstyled reference photo is what anchors a face so it stays consistent across generations — and a passport-grade crop is about as clean an anchor as you can get.
That's where [Kompozy](/) picks up. Export the compliant headshot, upload it as the reference for an AI Influencer persona, and Kompozy's Gemini [face-lock](/glossary/avatar-video) holds that face steady across every render. From one photo you get face-consistent [Persona Photos](/glossary/persona-shorts), [Persona Tweets](/glossary/persona-tweet) (a face-locked photo composited into a tweet card), and [Persona Frames](/glossary/persona-frames) — the avatar composited as a movable layer inside a brand-exact [HyperFrames](/glossary/hyperframes) template — plus talking-head [Persona Shorts](/glossary/persona-shorts) video that reads your script to camera. All of it is governed by one [Persona Brief](/glossary/persona-brief) so the voice matches the face, and [Autopilot](/glossary/autopilot) then schedules and publishes the set across the eight social platforms plus blog and email. In short: the passport tool gives you one canonical face; Kompozy turns that one face into a recurring identity that appears, consistently, across a whole content calendar.
Yes, it's free with no account or watermark, and it does not upload your photo — the background removal and face centering run locally in your browser, so the image stays on your device. Note the free tool is aipassportphoto.org; the similarly named aipassportphotos.com is a separate paid product.
Yes. The plain-background, front-facing crop it produces is well suited as a reference image. It's tuned to document specs rather than a flattering portrait, but that neutrality is actually helpful when you use it to anchor a face-locked AI persona in a tool like Kompozy.
Face-locked persona systems need a clean reference photo to keep a person's face consistent across generations. A passport-grade headshot — even lighting, neutral expression, plain background — is an ideal anchor. In Kompozy you upload it once, and Gemini face-lock reuses it across Persona Photos, Persona Tweets, Persona Frames, and Persona Shorts video.
It covers 32+ countries and regions with official templates — including the US, Canada, UK, Australia, China, Japan, India, Brazil, Germany, France, Mexico, and Schengen visas — each storing the correct size, DPI, head height, and background color. It advises verifying current rules with the issuing authority.
