Passport photo maker
Turn a photo taken at home into a correctly sized passport or visa photo — a digital file for online applications, or a 4×6 sheet to print at any photo shop.
How to use it
- Take a photo against a plain white or light wall, facing the camera, in even daylight.
- Choose the size you need, then move and resize the box so your face fits the oval.
- Download a single photo for online forms, or a 4×6 in sheet to print and cut.
Taking a photo that is accepted
Most passport offices reject photos for the same few reasons. Before you start:
- Plain white or light grey background, no patterns or shadows
- Face the camera straight on, neutral expression, mouth closed
- Eyes open and visible — no glasses glare, no hair over the eyes
- Even lighting with no shadows on the face
- Ask someone else to take it from about 1.5 m away, at eye level
Common sizes
35 × 45 mm is used by the UK, Schengen and EU countries and many others. The US uses 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm). Canada uses 50 × 70 mm and Chinese visas use 33 × 48 mm. Requirements change, so always check your country’s official guidance for size, head height and background.
Printing the 4×6 sheet
Choose "4×6 in print sheet" to get several copies on one standard photo print. Order a 4×6 in (10×15 cm) print at any photo shop or kiosk and make sure it prints at actual size with no cropping or borders, then cut along the grey lines. It costs a fraction of a passport photo booth.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Cropping happens inside your browser on your own device; your photo is never sent to a server.
Will my photo be accepted?
This tool produces the correct size and framing; acceptance also depends on the photo itself — lighting, background, expression — and on your country’s current rules. Follow the checklist above and your official guidance.
Can I change the background to white?
Not yet — take the photo against a plain light wall. Background replacement may be added in the future.
My online application needs a photo under a certain KB.
Choose "Single photo", tick "Limit file size" and enter the limit — for example 240 KB.
