How to change your photo background to white

  1. Add your photo. A clear photo of one person works best.
  2. Wait a few seconds. The background is replaced with white automatically.
  3. Download. Save the JPG, or choose another colour first.

Where a white background is needed

Most passport, visa and ID photos, job and exam applications, LinkedIn and résumé photos, and online profiles look best (or are required) with a plain white background. If the wall behind you wasn't white, this fixes it without a photo studio.

After changing the background, use the passport photo maker or the exam photo resizer to crop to the exact size.
