FAQ
What size is a Canadian passport photo?
A Canadian passport photo must be 50 mm wide and 70 mm tall. The face, measured from chin to crown, should be between 31 mm and 36 mm within the 70 mm frame. This is different from the US standard — make sure you use the Canadian preset.
Can I wear glasses in a Canadian passport photo?
No. Since March 2020, glasses are prohibited in all Canadian passport photos, regardless of prescription, tinting, or whether you wear them daily.
What background is required for a Canadian passport photo?
The background must be plain white. There must be no patterns, shadows behind the head, or gradients. After uploading your photo, use the background removal tool to achieve a clean white background.
Does my photo get uploaded to your servers?
No. All processing — cropping, background removal, brightness adjustment, and export — runs entirely within your browser. Your image is never transmitted to or stored on any server.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free. No account required, no subscription, no watermark on your download.
Can I use a digital photo for a Canadian passport application?
Paper applications require two printed photos. Online renewal applications through IRCC accept a digital upload — the exported PNG from this tool meets the digital requirements (minimum 420 pixels wide, correct proportions, white background).
Where can I print Canadian passport photos?
Take the print sheet to Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, Walmart Photo, Costco Photo, or any FedEx Office location. Request a standard 4×6-inch print — the sheet fits two 50×70 mm photos.
Does a guarantor still need to sign the back of a Canadian passport photo?
Yes, for paper applications your guarantor must sign the back of one of the two photos. For digital submissions, this step is not required.
