The product

What Passport Photo is

A rejected photo is one of the most common, avoidable delays on an immigration file. This tool measures chin-to-crown head height in millimetres, applies country-accurate crops and exports files that match portal size limits.

Part 01
Country-accurate crop
Presets for Canada passport (50×70 mm), IRCC digital, US 2×2, Chinese visa and dozens more, not a generic aspect-ratio crop.
Part 02
Head height in mm
Face detection measures chin to crown (hair included) against the official range for your format, so you are not guessing from a preview.
Part 03
Print and digital
Export a DPI-patched JPEG for online portals, or a print sheet with cut guides for 4×6, 5×7, A4 or Letter.
Free because GetNorthPath funds it
The photo maker is part of GetNorthPath's free DIY toolkit, not a watermark upsell. Platform features sit alongside when you want the fuller workflow.
