Passport size photo maker
Turn any clear front-facing photo into a passport size photo. Pick a size, move and zoom the picture until the face sits between the guide lines, then download a single 300 DPI photo or a full sheet to print. Your photo never leaves your device.
Everything runs on your device. Nothing you add or type is sent to any server.
How to use it
- 01
Choose the size your form asks for: 35 × 45 mm, 2 × 2 inch, or type your own size in millimetres.
- 02
Add your photo, then drag it and use the zoom slider until the top of the head touches the pink line and the chin falls inside the cyan band.
- 03
Download the single photo as a JPG for online forms, or pick A4 or 4 × 6 inch paper and download a sheet with cut lines as PDF or JPG for printing.
Which size do I need?
For an Indian passport applied for on a paper form, Passport India's instructions ask for a recent colour photo of 4.5 cm × 3.5 cm (35 × 45 mm) with a plain white background. At a Passport Seva Kendra you usually do not need to bring one, because your photo is taken there. Other forms may use the same size or a different one, so always check the form itself.
A US passport needs a 2 × 2 inch photo, with the head between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from chin to top of head, on a plain white or off-white background. For anything else, choose Custom size and enter the size in millimetres.
Print it the right size
The single photo is saved at 300 dots per inch, so a 35 × 45 mm photo is 413 × 531 pixels. The sheet fits as many copies as the paper allows, with a thin grey line around each one: cut along the inside of the line. Print the PDF at 100% or Actual size, never Fit to page, and measure one photo with a ruler before cutting.
This tool crops and sizes your photo. It does not remove or replace the background, so take the picture in front of a plain white wall in good light. For a transparent PNG you can choose the fill colour.
Frequently asked questions
Are the guide lines official?
No. They are a helpful starting point. The 2 × 2 inch guides follow the US head size rule; the others are a general guide. Your form's own rules always come first.
How many photos fit on a sheet?
With 35 × 45 mm photos, 30 fit on A4 and 8 on 4 × 6 inch paper. With 2 × 2 inch photos, 15 fit on A4 and 2 on 4 × 6 inch.
My form wants the photo under a certain size in KB.
Download the single photo, then use our Reduce Image Size in KB tool to bring it under the limit.
