Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Cropping and resizing happen entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your photo never leaves your device.

What is the exact Canada passport photo size?

IRCC requires a photo 50mm wide by 70mm high, which this tool exports as 591x827 pixels at 300 DPI.

What does the head-height guide show?

The lines mark the target head-height zone, from the crown of your head to your chin, which must measure between 31mm and 36mm in the final photo.

Does this tool check the background or lighting?

No. It only crops and resizes to the correct dimensions. Take the source photo against a plain white or light grey background with even lighting before uploading.

Will this guarantee my photo is accepted?

The guide helps you match the size and head-placement requirements, but final acceptance depends on background, lighting, expression, and print quality, which are your responsibility to verify against IRCC guidance.

Can I use this for other countries' passport photos?

This tool is sized for the Canada 50x70mm standard. Other countries use different dimensions, so check your destination country's requirements separately.
