Changelog (page 14)

October 2, 2026

• added

  A Russia visa photo page, with a switcher for the two routes: the e-visa's JPEG in the 35 x 45 shape, made at the 700 x 900 pixels the portal's form saves, and the 3.5 x 4.5 cm print glued to the paper visa form. It explains that the e-visa form compresses every photo to 20 to 35 KB itself.

• added

  A Chinese passport photo page: 33 x 48 mm on white, made as a JPEG kept between 30 and 80 KB, the file the Foreign Ministry asks for when you apply abroad through the China Consular app. The page also says where China's own immigration rules differ.

• added

  A Hong Kong visa and passport photo page, with a switcher for the two: the visa form's 40 to 45 by 50 to 55 mm, and the HKSAR passport's 40 x 50 mm JPEG, made at 1280 x 1600 because ImmD's 1200 x 1600 minimum is a different shape from the print.

• added

  There is now a page for the Danish passport photo: a 35 x 45 mm print, head 30 to 36 mm, on light blue or light grey, the same photo the driving licence takes. It says when borgerservice or an embassy takes the photo for you.

• added

  There is now a page for the Brazilian passport photo: 5 x 7 cm on white, for a child under 5 at the Polícia Federal or for a consulate abroad. It switches to 2 x 2 inches or 3 x 4 cm, the sizes some consulates ask for instead.

• added

  There is now a page for the South Korean passport photo: 3.5 x 4.5 cm on white, head 3.2 to 3.6 cm. It makes the online renewal file, 413 x 531 pixels at 300 DPI, as a JPG under the 500 KB limit.

• added

  A Saudi visa photo page, with a switcher for the two official portals: KSA Visa at 35 x 45 mm under 5 MB, and visitsaudi.com at 200 x 200 pixels and 5 to 100 KB. It explains why KSA Visa can refuse a photo as over 5 MB after cropping it.

• fixed

  The pictures on every page now carry the site's name as PhotoResizerr.com, with the logo sitting right beside it instead of a gap away.

• added

  Remove background in the image resizer now has Touch up: Keep and Erase brushes, and Remove piece, which takes out one leftover bit of the picture with a single tap. Undo and Redo step through the strokes, and a ring under the pointer shows how wide the brush is. The background remover page gets Remove piece and the ring too.

• added

  The background remover has a demo photo: Try a demo, or a click on the photo above it, cuts a sample portrait so you can judge the result before choosing a photo of your own.

• fixed

  The size buttons on social pages use the same type as the rest of the editor and no longer break over two lines on a phone.

• added

  The background remover has a touch-up brush: choose Keep and paint to bring back something that was cut, or Erase to remove something that was left, with Undo. The download is the cut-out as you painted it.

• changed

  Cut-outs have cleaner edges, here and under Background in the image resizer: the old background's colour no longer follows the subject onto a new one, a small subject is looked at a second time for a sharper edge, which takes about twice as long, and the lighter model no longer leaves faint haze away from the subject.

• changed

  Remove background: a phone or tablet with WebGPU now gets the lighter model, a 110 MB download in place of 135 MB, and a browser where the larger model will not start falls back to it.

• fixed

  Remove background: the credit links to the models and the runtime now open in a new tab, like every other link that leaves the site, so a photo you are working on stays open.

• added

  The background remover page now says what sets it apart and compares it with remove.bg and Adobe, from what their own pages state: where the photo is cut, the size of the free result, and whether you need an account.

• changed

  Remove background: browsers with WebGPU now run a larger model, BiRefNet, that keeps posters, logos and glossy cars solid instead of partly see-through. A cut takes about five seconds on a laptop instead of one, and the one-time download is 135 MB instead of 110 MB.
