Disclaimer

Everything on Pixora — the tools, the guides, the format comparisons — is provided for general information. We work hard to keep it accurate and we cite real, checkable numbers rather than vague claims, but we make no warranty that any of it is complete, current, or correct for your particular situation.

You use the tools and act on the guidance at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from doing so. The full terms are in the terms of service.

The passport photo tool handles dimensions and DPI, and nothing else. It crops and scales your photo to the exact millimetre size a document asks for.

It does not verify head-height ratio, background colour, lighting, shadows, facial expression, glasses, head coverings, image sharpness, or any other biometric requirement. It cannot tell you whether a photo will be accepted, and we are not affiliated with any government, embassy, or issuing authority.

A correctly-sized file is a necessary condition, not a sufficient one. Always check the official requirements published by the authority you are applying to, and if the application matters, use a professional photographer.

When you blur or pixelate a region, the change is baked into the exported pixels — there is no hidden original inside the file. That is a genuine, meaningful guarantee, and it is more than several well-known editors have managed.

But it is not magic. A weak blur or a coarse pixelation over a small, low-entropy region — a four-digit PIN, a short number plate, a date of birth — can sometimes be reversed by brute force: an attacker renders every candidate, applies the same filter, and compares. Use a strong radius, and for genuinely sensitive content, cover it with a solid block rather than a blur.

Note also that blurring a face does not remove the GPS coordinates embedded in the photo. For that, use the EXIF remover.

Pixora does not host user content. Your images are processed in your own browser and never reach us, so there is nothing uploaded here for anyone to take down. That is worth stating plainly, because it is the usual reason a site needs a takedown process, and we do not have that problem.

If you believe something we have published ourselves — an article, an image, a code sample — infringes your copyright, write to [email protected] with the URL and a description of the work. We will review it promptly and remove anything we should not be using.
