FROM SOURCE TO CUTOUT

A few details make
all the difference.

Start with the right photo

Choose a front-facing, well-lit portrait with the entire head visible. This tool changes the background only; it does not certify passport-photo compliance, crop to official dimensions or check head size and expression.

Check the important details

Inspect the hairline, ears and shoulders for halos. Keep the face and clothing faithful to the original. Confirm the required background colour, photo dimensions and head position with the issuing authority.

Choose the final finish

Review your cutout in the editor. Choose transparent or a solid background, then export PNG or JPG for your next use.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Good to know.

Will my passport application accept a background-edited photo?

Acceptance depends on the issuing authority. Some authorities restrict digital background changes. Check the current requirements before editing or submitting; EraseBG does not verify compliance or guarantee acceptance.

What if an edge or detail is missing?

Compare with the original and try a sharper photo with more contrast around the subject. The tool cannot restore parts cropped out of the source image.

Can I use this on my phone?
