FAQ
Common questions
Everything you need to know before you start
- Yes. You can use BGRemover as a free online passport photo maker with starter credits. Upload a clear photo, choose the required size, set the background color, and export the final image when it is ready.
- Yes — as long as the photo meets the basic requirements: even lighting, a plain background, full face visible, neutral expression, and eyes open. Avoid selfies taken at extreme angles or with strong backlighting.
- It depends on your country and document type. Most countries (US, UK, China, India) require white. Schengen visa photos often accept white or light blue. Some EU visa applications specifically require a light blue background. When in doubt, check your country's official passport photo requirements.
- BGRemover applies the correct dimensions, head-height ratio, and background colour for your selected country. However, photo acceptance also depends on facial expression, lighting, head position, and whether you meet other non-technical requirements (e.g., no glasses for US/UK passports, no smiling for some countries). Always verify against your country's official guidelines before submitting.
- 300 DPI is the standard for all official passport photos. The tool exports at the correct pixel dimensions for your selected size at 300 DPI (e.g., 600×600 px for a 2×2 inch US photo). Save as JPG or PNG — both are accepted by most authorities.
- Stand in even light, keep your face centered, and take a front-facing photo. Upload it to the passport photo maker, select the country or document type, then download the correctly sized file for printing or online submission.
- No. Photos are processed in your browser and are not stored on BGRemover's servers after the session ends. Only the final download is saved to your device.
