Make a passport photo at the right size

Passport photo sizes differ by country. Many countries, including South Korea, the EU, the UK and Japan, use 35mm wide by 45mm tall, while the US uses 2×2 inches (51×51mm). Upload a photo and the face is found, cropped to the size's ratio and given a new background. To print, you can get several laid out on a 4×6 sheet.
