How to make a passport photo at home

  1. 1.

    Take the photo

    Stand facing the camera in front of a plain, light wall in even daylight. Ask someone to take the photo from about 1.5 m (5 ft) at eye level, without flash or portrait mode.

  2. 2.

    Choose the document and upload

    Pick a preset (EU/Schengen 35×45 mm, UK, US 2×2 in, Canada, China, Poland) and drop the photo above.

  3. 3.

    Align with the guides

    Drag and zoom so that the chin sits on the red line, the top of the head (including hair) is inside the blue band and the eyes are near the dashed eye line. Straighten with the slider if needed.

  4. 4.

    Download

    Download a single JPG for online applications, or a 4×6 in / 10×15 cm sheet (JPG) or an A4 sheet (PDF) for printing at 100% scale.

Choose the preset for your document: the frame, the head-height band and the eye line are set from these values. Requirements change from time to time and some offices add rules of their own (background colour, file size in KB) - always check the current rules of the office or embassy you apply to before printing or submitting.

Common requirements

  • Plain, light, evenly lit background with no shadows.
  • Face straight to the camera, head not tilted, neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open.
  • No sunglasses; prescription glasses only if allowed by the country and without glare (the US no longer allows glasses).
  • Head coverings only for religious or medical reasons, with the full face visible.
  • Sharp photo with natural colours, taken within the last 6 months, no retouching or filters.

How to take a passport photo at home

  1. Background: stand about 0.5-1 m in front of a plain white or light grey wall, so your shadow does not fall on it.
  2. Light: face a window with soft daylight; avoid overhead lamps that cast shadows under the eyes and nose. No flash.
  3. Camera: ask someone to hold the phone at eye level, about 1.5 m (5 ft) away, using the normal (1×) or 2× lens. Selfies and wide-angle lenses distort the nose and make the head look larger; portrait mode blurs the edges of hair.
  4. Framing: leave space around the head and shoulders - cropping is done here, and a loose frame lets you hit the head-height range exactly.
  5. Check: after aligning, the tool shows the allowed head height in mm and percent, and warns if the crop is too low-resolution or goes beyond the photo.

Pixels and printing

Pixels = millimetres ÷ 25.4 × DPI. A 35×45 mm photo is 413×531 px at 300 DPI and 827×1063 px at 600 DPI; a 2×2 in photo is 600×600 px at 300 DPI (the US online minimum). A 4×6 in (10×15 cm) print holds up to 8 photos of 35×45 mm or 2 photos of 2×2 in. Print the PDF or JPG at 100% (“actual size”), then measure one photo with a ruler.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a passport photo?

+
Most countries, including the EU, the UK and Schengen visas, use 35×45 mm. The US uses 2×2 inches (51×51 mm), Canada 50×70 mm and China 33×48 mm.

Can I take a passport photo with my phone?

+
Yes. Use a plain light wall and even light, have someone take it from 1-2 m, then crop it here with the guide lines. Many countries accept such photos for online applications.

How do I print passport photos at the right size?

+
Download the 4×6 in sheet and order a print without cropping, or download the A4 PDF and print at 100% scale. Then check one photo with a ruler.

How many pixels does a digital passport photo need?

+
It depends on the country. A US photo must be at least 600×600 px; a 35×45 mm photo is 413×531 px at 300 DPI and 827×1063 px at 600 DPI. When a preset has a known online minimum, the tool tells you whether your file meets it.

Can I wear glasses in a passport photo?

+
It varies. The US does not allow glasses at all; the UK and many other countries recommend removing them and accept them only without glare or tinted lenses. Taking them off is the safest choice.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

+
No. Everything happens in your browser; the photo is never sent to a server.

Does the tool check if my photo will be accepted?

+
No. The guide lines help you crop correctly, but the final decision belongs to the issuing office. Check lighting, background and expression yourself.
