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 French passport photo size?

French authorities require a 45mm high by 35mm wide photo, which this tool exports as 413x531 pixels at 300 DPI.

What does the face-height guide show?

The lines mark the target face-height zone, from the crown of your head to your chin, which must measure between 32mm and 36mm in the final photo, positioned a few millimeters below the top edge.

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 light gray or white background with even, neutral 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 official ANTS or service-public.fr guidance.

Can I use this for other countries' passport photos?

This tool is sized for the French 35x45mm standard, which is also used by several other European countries. Other countries use different dimensions, so check your destination country's requirements separately.
