Indian Passport Photo Generator

A minimalist, single-page web utility that accepts any human portrait photo and instantly generates a print-ready A4 sheet of standard Indian passport photos.

Features

• Face Detection & Alignment: Automatically aligns crooked photos using eye detection.
• AI Background Removal: Clears out any existing background.
• Auto-Formatting: Replaces background with pure white and intelligently crops to exact passport proportions (35×45mm).
• Print-Ready Layout: Generates an A4 PDF sheet with 8 perfectly spaced photos.
• Client-Side Privacy: Processes entirely locally (no images stored).

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React, Vite, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Python 3, Flask, OpenCV (CV2), rembg (Background removal), ReportLab (PDF)
