Passport Size Photo for free, privately
A passport size photo is mostly a question of the right crop: the right shape and size, with the face filling most of the frame. Choose a size, add a photo taken against a plain light background, and the tool crops it from the centre and saves it at 300 DPI. If your application portal sets a file-size limit, type it and the photo is compressed to fit.
Official photo rules (background colour, head size, glasses, expression) are set by each country and service, so check them before you upload. Everything runs in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded.
