How to Make Passport Size Photos at Home (Free & Online)
Photo studios often charge a premium for passport photos. With a decent camera and the right tool, you can generate passport-size images at home for free.
What you need
- A smartphone camera or entry-level camera.
- A plain background (white or light colour).
- An online Passport Photo Maker.
Steps to create a passport photo
- Ask someone to take a straight, front-facing photo of you.
- Make sure your face is centred and well-lit.
- Upload the image to the Passport Photo Maker tool.
- Select the correct preset (India, US, EU etc.).
- Download the generated passport-size JPEG.
Common presets and sizes
- India: 35 x 45 mm.
- USA: 2 x 2 inches.

Once you have a digital passport photo, you can print multiple copies on photo paper or use it directly for online applications that accept image uploads.
