White Background is a free online tool that creates compliant passport and ID photos from JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, and SVG portraits. It runs entirely in your browser, so your photos are never sent to any server. The tool applies the correct dimensions, background colour, and DPI for the selected country or document type. The output is a print-ready JPG and PNG file that meets official specification requirements. Always verify requirements with the issuing authority before submission, as specifications can change.
