Passport & visa photo maker

31 documents across 31 countries, each with its own dimensions, background and head-height rules. Find the form you are filing, the tool crops to that spec exactly.

Why make a passport photo online at all?

A drugstore or post office counter charges around $15 for two prints, and the photo apps want a subscription for something most people need once every ten years.

Here you make the photo and check it against your country's spec for nothing, guests and free accounts both get 2 a day. The finished file without the watermark is $3, paid once, and the 4×6 print sheet fits several copies on one sheet you can run off at a kiosk for under a dollar. Your photo is deleted either way: nothing kept, nothing sold.

The one thing to get right

Photos are rejected for one reason more than any other: dimensions and head position. Every authority sets its own ratio of head to frame, and that is exactly what each page here handles.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything to make a passport photo?

No. Every country tool on this page runs in the browser: upload a photo, pick your country and document, download the spec-exact result. Nothing to install, no account required for a single photo.

How does the tool know each country's exact photo spec?

Each country page is hand-maintained with the official current requirements from that country's passport or visa authority: width, height, DPI, background colour, head-height ratio, and file-size limits. When a country updates its spec (India shifted its passport size in 2023, for example), the page is updated.

Will the tool reject a photo that doesn't meet the spec?

The tool will produce an output at the exact dimensions and DPI required, but it can't evaluate whether the pose, expression, or background of your source photo will pass a manual review at the passport office. Follow the country-specific tips on each page for pose and background guidance.

Are uploaded photos kept or shared with anyone?

No. Uploaded photos are auto-deleted from our servers within 1 hour. Nothing is shared with third parties, saved to a public database, or used for training. For maximum privacy, use one of the country tools whose processing runs entirely in the browser (marked on the tool page).

Can I print the passport photo at home?

Yes. The downloaded image is exported at 300 DPI, the resolution most passport and visa authorities require for print. Print on standard 4×6 inch photo paper and cut to the country's dimensions. Many countries also accept digital upload directly, in which case no printing is needed.

Which countries and documents are supported?

Currently 30+ countries covering passport, visa, and ID photos including US, UK, India, Canada, Australia, Japan, Germany, France, Ireland, China, Pakistan, Philippines, Brazil, Mexico, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea, Russia, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, plus Schengen visa, US Green Card, and OCI.
