Passport & ID Photo Background Remover — Free, Private, No Upload

SnapDoc is an open, client-side photo processing workstation engineered to create biometric-compliant passport, visa, and ID photos directly inside your web browser. Traditional photo editors require you to upload your sensitive biometric images to unknown third-party cloud servers. With SnapDoc, your photos never leave your device.

100% Client-Side Privacy

Powered by WebAssembly and local HTML5 Canvas. Your biometric documents remain on your hardware, completely protected against server breaches.

Facial Landmark AI

Utilizes Google MediaPipe Vision models to detect eye positioning in milliseconds, mathematically leveling your head orientation to official horizontal standards.

True 300 DPI Export

Injects official physical resolution metadata (PNG pHYs and JPEG JFIF segments) to ensure print shops and government portals accept your submission without warnings.

How to Create an Approved Passport Photo in 4 Steps

1
Upload Any Clear Portrait: Take a photo in front of any wall or doorway using your phone camera. Keep your expression neutral and look straight ahead.

Auto-Straighten and Crop: Click Auto-Straighten to let our neural model level your eye-line. Then select the standard 2×2 inch preset for US passports or 35×45mm for Schengen and UK visas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this tool truly 100% private and processed in-browser?▾

Yes. SnapDoc executes neural segmentation and canvas rendering locally inside your browser runtime. No uploaded files or facial biometrics are ever transferred to external APIs or remote databases.

What are the exact dimensions for US Passport and Schengen Visa photos?▾

US passports require a 2×2 inch photo (600×600 pixels at 300 DPI). Schengen, UK, Australian, and European visas require a 35×45mm photo (413×531 pixels at 300 DPI). Both presets are built directly into our crop module.

Why does 300 DPI matter for passport submissions?▾

Most national passport offices and visa validation algorithms reject photos rendered at screen resolution (72 DPI) because physical printing requires high density to prevent pixelation. SnapDoc embeds accurate physical DPI markers directly into PNG and JPEG byte streams.
