Turn a phone photo into a document photo built to the published specifications — correct crop, correct head size, plain light background. US 2×2in and 35×45mm formats, ready to upload or print.
Make my document photo See the AI headshot generatorHeadshot generators are built to make you look good on a profile page. Document photos have the opposite requirement: they have to satisfy a specification. That means a fixed crop, a fixed head-to-frame ratio, a plain background, no glasses and a neutral expression — and if any one of those is off, the application gets bounced.
Portraze handles both jobs in one account: professional headshots for your profiles, and compliant document photos for the paperwork.
Replaces a cluttered room with the plain light background document photos require.
Sets the frame so chin-to-crown sits in the required range for the format you pick.
Outputs a print-ready sheet so you are not hand-cropping in an image editor.
High enough for both digital upload and a 300dpi print at the required size.

2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm), with the head between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from chin to top of head. Portraze outputs to that specification with a plain light background.
No. You can take the source photo at home and use Portraze to produce a document photo built to the published specification — correct crop, head size and plain background.
The tool supports common document sizes including the US 2x2in and the 35x45mm format used by the UK, Schengen visa and many other applications. Check your authority's current specification before submitting.
No tool can guarantee acceptance, because final checks are done by the issuing authority. Portraze builds the file to the published specifications so you are not rejected on formatting.
Document photos are included with any Portraze plan (Starter $19). Generation uses paid compute, so there is no free tier.
