Tips for a photo that gets accepted
- Plain white or light background, with nothing behind you.
- Face the camera straight on, with a neutral expression and both eyes open.
- Even light from the front: stand facing a window, so there are no shadows on your face or behind you.
- Glasses off. The United States does not allow glasses in passport photos, and many countries prefer them off.
- Head size: most countries want the head to fill about 70 to 80% of the photo's height; zoom until it does.
Questions
What is the passport size photo size in India?
Passport size photos for Indian forms and documents are usually 3.5 × 4.5 cm. At 300 DPI that is 413 × 531 pixels, which is what this tool makes when you pick India.
What size is a US passport photo?
2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm), with the head between 1 and 1⅜ inches from chin to top of the hair. A digital copy for online forms is 600 × 600 pixels, which is the size this tool makes at 300 DPI.
How do I print passport photos at home or at a shop?
Press Download print sheet: you get a 4 × 6 inch (10 × 15 cm) photo with as many copies as fit, with thin lines to cut along. Print it as a standard 4 × 6 photo at 100% scale, without "fit to page", so each copy keeps its exact size.
Can I make the photo under 20 KB or 50 KB for an online form?
Yes. Pick the limit under File size and the tool keeps the highest quality that fits. Forms that also give pixel dimensions usually match the 300 DPI size; if yours asks for different pixels, use the image resizer in KB instead.
Does this change my background to white?
No. It crops and sizes the photo; take it against a plain white or light wall, which most countries require. Even light from the front, without shadows behind you, works best.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser on your own device; the photo is never sent to our server or anyone else's.
