How to make a passport size photo at home

You don't need a studio for a passport or ID photo. A clear phone photo against a plain light wall is enough to start with.

Add one front-facing photo with a plain, light background and even light on your face.

Pick the photo size. The list includes 35 × 45 mm, 2 × 2 inch, 50 × 70 mm (Canada), 35 × 50 mm (Malaysia), 33 × 48 mm (China visa), 40 × 60 mm and a few more. A size for your region is picked to start with, based on your device's time zone.

Drag the photo and use the zoom slider until your face sits inside the oval: the top of your head near the upper line and your chin near the lower line. On a phone you can pinch with two fingers.

Choose the background: make it white, make it light blue, or keep it as it is.

Choose how many copies go on the A4 sheet (4, 6, 8, 12 or as many as fit) and whether to draw thin cut lines.

Press Make passport photos. You get two files: the single photo as a JPG and an A4 print sheet as a PDF.

Passport photo size in pixels

The single photo is made at 300 dpi, which is the usual print resolution. That means a 35 × 45 mm photo comes out at 413 × 531 pixels, and a 2 × 2 inch photo comes out at 600 × 600 pixels. If an online form asks for a digital photo, upload this JPG. If it also sets a limit in KB, run the JPG through Photo to KB afterwards.

Passport photo print on A4: getting the size right

The PDF sheet places your copies from the top of the page down, with a small note at the bottom that reminds you how to print it.

Print at 100% or Actual size. If the printer is set to Fit to page, every photo will be slightly too small or too big.

Photo paper gives a cleaner result, but any photo shop can print the PDF for you on their own paper.

Cut along the grey lines with a sharp blade or scissors, and keep the spare copies for the next form.

CNIC, visa and ID card photos: what to check first

Each office sets its own rules for size, background, head size, glasses and expression, and those rules change. The size list names countries that commonly use each size, but treat it as a starting point. Always check the official website of the office you are applying to, whether it is for a CNIC, a passport, a US visa photo 2x2, a school ID card or a job form.

A few habits help with almost any office: face the camera straight on, keep a neutral expression, avoid shadows behind you, and take the photo in daylight near a window rather than under a single ceiling bulb.

Problems and privacy

If you see a message that the photo would print blurry, you have zoomed in too far for the number of pixels in your photo. Zoom out a little or start from a sharper, closer photo. If the white background has rough edges around hair, retake the photo against a plainer wall so the face stands out more.

The crop happens in your browser. For a white or light blue background, an AI model also runs in your browser. The first time it loads takes a few seconds, but your photo itself is never uploaded.

Questions people ask

What is the passport photo size?

Many countries use 35×45 mm; the USA uses 2×2 inches. Pick your country's size and the photo is made at 300 dpi.

Can I print several passport photos on one page?

Yes. Place 4 to 12 photos, or as many as fit, on one A4 sheet and print it at any photo shop.

Can I change the background to white?

Yes. White is chosen to start with, as most passports, ID cards and visas need. You can also keep the background as it is.

What is a 35 × 45 mm photo in pixels?

At 300 dpi it is 413 × 531 pixels, which is the size of the JPG you download.

How do I make a 2 × 2 inch photo for a US visa?

Choose 2 × 2 inch in Photo size. The JPG comes out at 600 × 600 pixels. Check the official visa website for its current rules before you submit.

Why do my printed passport photos come out the wrong size?

The printer was probably set to Fit to page. Print the A4 PDF at 100% or Actual size.

Can I make the background light blue instead of white?

Yes. Choose Make it light blue under Background, or keep the original background if your form allows it.

Why does it say my photo will print blurry?

You zoomed in so far that too few pixels are left for a sharp print. Zoom out a little or use a sharper photo.
