How to Make a Passport Photo Online Free

Why Photo Size Matters

Passport and visa applications reject photos that are the wrong size or framed badly. Each country has its own rules — the US uses 2x2 inches (600x600 px), the UK and Schengen visas use 35x45 mm, and Canada uses 50x70 mm. Getting the dimensions right the first time saves you a rejected application.

How to Make a Passport Photo (Step by Step)

Step 1: Upload your photo Open the Passport Photo Maker and upload a recent, front-facing photo taken against a plain background.

Step 2: Choose a preset Pick your country or document type — US Passport, India Passport, UK Passport, Schengen Visa, Canada Passport, or a custom size. The output dimensions are set automatically.

Step 3: Adjust the crop Use the zoom and move sliders to centre your head and shoulders. Set a background colour if you need a clean white or light backdrop.

Step 4: Download Download a correctly sized JPG, ready to print or upload.

Tips for an Accepted Photo

• Use even lighting with no harsh shadows on your face or behind you.
• Keep a neutral expression, eyes open, mouth closed.
• Start with a plain background — this tool sets a canvas colour but does not remove busy backgrounds.

Always check the latest official rules before submitting, as requirements change by country.
