## About

Pick your country's size, fit the face with eye-line guides, and download a print-ready photo — or a 4×6 in sheet with six copies.

## Quick answer

How do I make a passport photo at home? Add a photo with a plain, light background, pick your country's size, then drag and zoom until the eyes sit between the dashed guides. Download the single photo or the 4×6 in sheet — nothing is uploaded.

## How to make a passport photo at home

1. **Take the photo right** — plain light wall, face the camera straight on, even lighting, neutral expression, no shadows on the face.
2. **Fit it in the frame** — pick your country's size below, then drag and zoom until the eyes sit between the dashed guides.
3. **Download and print** — the single photo is print-ready at 300 DPI; the 4×6 in sheet fits six copies for a kiosk print.

## Photo sizes by country

| Country / document | Size | Pixels (300 DPI) | Head height |
|---|---|---|---|
| US passport / visa | 2×2 in (51×51 mm) | 600×600 px | 25–35 mm, eyes 28–35 mm from bottom |
| UK, EU, India, Australia | 35×45 mm | 413×531 px | 32–36 mm |
| China | 33×48 mm | 390×567 px | 28–33 mm |
| Canada | 50×70 mm | 591×827 px | 31–36 mm |

Requirements change and vary by document — always check your issuing authority's current rules before submitting. The eye-line guides in the tool use typical published ranges; treat them as a starting point.

## What makes a photo acceptable

- **Plain, light background** — off-white, cream, or light gray, no objects behind you
- **Face the camera directly**, eyes open, neutral expression, mouth closed
- **Even lighting** — no shadows on the face or background, no flash glare
- **No glasses** for US passports, and nothing covering the face
- **Recent photo** — taken within the last six months

## Printing tips

Print the sheet at **exactly 4×6 in (10×15 cm)** on photo paper — at home, or at any photo kiosk (choose "4×6, no border, actual size"). Cut along the light gray lines. If the portal only takes a digital upload and caps the file size, run the single photo through the [target-size compressor](https://toolpantry.app/compress-image-to-100kb.html) — passport portals often stop at 240 KB or less. Need to trim the photo first? [Crop image](https://toolpantry.app/crop-image.html) handles the raw cut; sizing for email and portals is covered in our [guide with the measured numbers](https://toolpantry.app/blog/reduce-image-size-for-email-discord-passport).

## Notes

Drag the photo to move it, scroll or use the slider to zoom. Use a photo with a plain, light background — this tool sizes and positions the photo, but does not remove backgrounds.

## FAQ

**How do I make a passport photo at home?**

Take a photo with a plain, light background, open this tool, pick your country's size, and drag or zoom so the eyes sit between the dashed guides. Download the single photo, or the 4×6 in sheet with six copies, and print it at a kiosk.

**What size is a US passport photo?**

2×2 inches (51×51 mm). The head should be 1 to 1⅜ inches tall, with the eyes 1⅛ to 1⅜ inches from the bottom. This tool outputs 600×600 px at 300 DPI, print-ready.

**Will the photo be accepted?**

The tool gets the size and head position right, but acceptance also depends on the photo itself: plain background, even lighting, neutral expression, no shadows. Always check your issuing authority's current rules before submitting.

Download the sheet and print it at exactly 4×6 inches (10×15 cm) on photo paper — at home, or at any photo kiosk. Cut along the light gray lines.

No. Everything — sizing, positioning, and the print sheet — happens in your browser tab. The photo never leaves your device.
