Check your Canadian passport photo framing
See how 50 x 70 mm with a 31 to 36 mm head should look, free. The photo you submit must come from a commercial photographer (paper and online renewal), so we sell nothing for Canada.
- Free framing check, nothing to buy
- Studio photo required by Canada.ca
- 24 h then your photo is deleted
Scope. Reference only, nothing to buy. Canada.ca refuses home prints and self-taken files; an eTA needs no photo.
One real photo, checked against the Canada guides
A phone-style portrait shot against a white wall, framed with the guides above and rendered by our server at the Canada 50 x 70 mm size. For Canada this is a reference only: the official photo must come from a studio.

Three steps
- Take the photo. Daylight from a window in front of you, plain light wall behind, camera at eye level about 1.2 m away, neutral expression, mouth closed.
- Frame it here. Drag and zoom until hair and chin touch the two lines. The preview is free and shows exactly what you will get.
- Book a studio. Bring the reference to a commercial photographer: for paper applications they stamp their name, address and the date on the back; for the online renewal they give you the original file and those details to enter.
Straight answers
Will my photo be accepted?
We cannot promise it, and nobody honest can: the issuing authority decides. The tool gets the size and head position right; lighting, shadows, expression and background are up to the photo you take.
Do you remove the background?
Not yet. Areas outside your original picture are filled white, but the background you shot stays as it is. A plain light wall gives the best result.
What happens to my photo?
The free preview is never stored. When you pay, the two files are kept on our server so you can download them, and deleted automatically after 24 hours. Payment is handled by Stripe; we never see your card.
Can I get a refund?
If the file does not match the size shown above, write to us within 14 days through the address on the receipt and we refund it.
