Step 1: Open the tool

Go to Passport Photo. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install, no account to create.

Step 2: Add your photo

Drag and drop a clear, front-facing photo, or click to browse. JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported (up to 20 MB), and everything runs locally.

Step 3: Choose the size and background

  • Select the size your passport or visa requires, like 35×45 mm or 2×2 in
  • Choose the background — white or blue — that the application specifies

Step 4: Download and print

Download the output as a print-ready 4×6 sheet at 300 DPI, then print or keep it for your application. Repeat as needed.

Tips

  • Check your authority's exact size and background requirements first
  • Use even lighting and a plain background in your source photo
  • Position your face centered and level within the frame
