Where to get a passport photo
You have several options for getting a passport photo: make one yourself online for free, or visit a pharmacy, post office, or photo studio. Making it yourself is the fastest and cheapest — you only pay for printing if you need a physical copy.
Online (free, fastest)
Use this passport photo maker to upload a phone photo, crop it to the official size, and download it. It runs in your browser, so it is private and instant — ideal for online applications that accept a digital photo.
Pharmacies and stores
- In the US: CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and Costco offer passport photos for roughly $8–$17.
- In the UK: Boots, the Post Office, and supermarket kiosks.
- These are convenient but cost more than printing your own 4 x 6 sheet.
Post office and photo studios
Many post offices that accept passport applications also take photos. Professional studios give the highest quality but at the highest price.
