How to Make a Passport or ID Photo at Home

Passport and visa photos get rejected for being the wrong size more often than almost anything else. Start with a photo that already has a plain, even background and a front-facing, well-lit shot of your face, then let Passport Photo Maker handle getting the dimensions exactly right.

Pick your country and frame the shot

Choose your country's requirement from the built-in list - US, Schengen/EU, UK, India, Canada, China, and Australia are included, plus a custom millimeter size for anything else. Drag your photo to frame your face inside the guide and zoom until it fits; the crop is locked to the correct width-to-height ratio the entire time, so there's no way to end up with a size that's technically off.

You get two downloads

A single photo sized exactly to your selected requirement, for applications that ask you to upload one image, plus a 6 × 4 in sheet repeating it as many times as fit on the page - ready to print and cut apart at a pharmacy or photo kiosk.

What this doesn't check

This handles sizing and layout, not compliance. It doesn't verify your background, lighting, expression, or head position against your country's official rules - check those against your passport authority's own guidelines before you submit, the same way you would with a photo from a studio.

Common questions

Will this guarantee my photo gets accepted? No - it guarantees the size and layout are correct. Whether the photo itself meets your country's background, lighting, and expression rules is still worth checking separately.

Does it remove or replace the background for me? No - it crops and sizes the photo you provide. Start with a photo that already has a plain, even background.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere? No. Cropping, resizing, and building the print sheet all happen entirely in your browser.
