How to make a passport size photo

  1. 1

    Upload your photo

    Click upload and choose a clear, front-facing photo. A plain wall and good daylight give the best result.

  2. 2

    Choose your country and size

    Pick your country preset (US 2x2 in, UK/India 35x45 mm, etc.) so the crop matches official requirements.

  3. 3

    Crop, zoom, and position

    Drag to position your face and use the zoom slider so your head sits inside the on-screen guides.

  4. 4

    Fix the background

    Use one-click background removal, then pick white, light blue, or grey — or keep it transparent.

  5. 5

    Download or print

    Download a single high-resolution photo, or generate a 4x6 / A4 print sheet with multiple copies.

How to make a passport photo with a name tag

Some applications (especially in India) ask for a name and date printed below the photo. After cropping, use the optional caption field to add your name tag, then download the labelled photo.

Keep the text small and outside the face area so it does not interfere with the portrait.

Tips for a compliant result

  • Use a recent photo that looks like you do today.
  • Keep a neutral expression (or a closed-mouth smile for the US) with both eyes open.
  • Make sure the background is evenly lit with no shadows before you remove it.
