Passport Size Photo Maker

What a Passport Size Photo Maker Does

A passport size photo maker crops your portrait to official dimensions, cleans up a plain background, and arranges multiple copies on a standard 4×6 inch print sheet at 300 DPI. You upload a photo, align your face using the on-screen guide, pick a country preset, and download a single JPEG or a ready-to-print sheet. No account, no watermark, and no upload to a server — processing stays in your browser.

Supported Size Presets

Presets match common government requirements. Dimensions are rendered at 300 DPI, which is what most photo labs and home printers expect for ID prints.

• India: 35 × 45 mm (about 413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI).
• United States: 2 × 2 inches (600 × 600 pixels at 300 DPI).
• United Kingdom: 35 × 45 mm.
• Schengen: 35 × 45 mm for many EU visa and residence applications.

Always confirm the latest specification on your government portal before submitting an application. Embassies occasionally update background color, head-size percentage, or digital-file rules even when the print size stays the same.

How to Make a Passport Photo Online

1. Upload a clear, front-facing portrait with even lighting and a plain wall behind you.
2. Choose the preset for your country or visa type.
3. Drag the crop box so your face sits inside the green oval guide; keep shoulders visible if your rules require it.
4. Select a background color (white, off-white, or light blue) and adjust the replace tolerance until the backdrop looks uniform.
5. Choose print paper (A4 is standard in India), pick a grid such as 4×5 (20 photos) or 2×3 on 4×6 photo paper, then download the sheet.
6. Print at actual size (100% scale) on photo paper, or send the JPEG to a local photo shop.

Background Cleanup Without AI

This tool replaces background pixels using a color distance threshold, not machine learning. It samples the corners of your cropped image to guess the backdrop color, then swaps similar pixels to your chosen solid color. The method works well for home photos against white or cream walls. Busy patterns, strong shadows, or hair overlapping the background may need a retake with simpler lighting rather than a higher tolerance slider.

Print Sheet Sizes and Grids (India)

Layout math uses real millimetre dimensions, not scaled-down photos. Each copy stays at the official size (35 × 45 mm for India) at 300 DPI. You choose the paper and the grid; dashed guides show where to cut.

• A4 (210 × 297 mm): Common studio layouts are 16 photos (4×4), 20 photos (4×5), or up to 30 (5×6) with tighter gaps. Default margins are 5 mm with 3 mm between photos for scissors.
• 4×6 inch / 4R photo paper: Usually 6 photos (2 columns × 3 rows) for 35 × 45 mm — the cheapest option at local photo labs.
• US Letter, A5, 5×7: Supported when you print at home on those sizes.
• Auto: Picks the densest standard grid that still fits with your margin and gap settings.
• Custom: Set your own column and row counts (for example 3×4 for 12 copies).

Always print at 100% / actual size. “Fit to page” shrinks photos below 35 mm and many forms will reject them.

Privacy and File Handling

Your image never leaves the device. Cropping, background replacement, and sheet layout run entirely in JavaScript using the HTML Canvas API. Close the tab and the working copy is discarded. For sensitive ID work, that local-only behavior is preferable to cloud editors that store uploads.
