How to Do It:

Follow these simple steps to create your passport photo at home:

1. Take a Photo:
   • Use a smartphone with a decent camera (8MP or higher recommended).
   • Stand in front of a plain, white or off-white wall.
   • Ensure even, natural lighting—avoid harsh shadows or bright sunlight.
   • Face the camera directly with a neutral expression and both eyes open.
   • Remove glasses, hats, or any accessories that cover your face.
2. Upload the Photo:
   • Go to our passport photo tool using any modern web browser on your smartphone or computer.
   • Upload your selected photo.
3. Align Your Face:
   • The tool provides a face alignment guide to help you position your head correctly.
   • Center your face vertically and horizontally within the frame.
   • Make sure your full head, including chin and top of the hair, fits within the guide.
4. Set Dimensions to 35×45 mm:
   • The tool automatically sets the correct size and aspect ratio for Indian passports (35 mm width × 45 mm height).
   • It adjusts the photo resolution to ensure print quality is maintained.
5. Download the Final Image:
   • After editing and cropping, download the print-ready, high-resolution photo.
   • The image will meet official size and background specifications.

✅ Optional: You can also create a photo sheet containing 4–6 copies of your passport photo, perfect for printing at home or a local print shop.

Additional Tips for Best Results:

• Use a tripod or stable surface to hold your smartphone steady.
• Keep a distance of about 1 meter (3 feet) between you and the camera to avoid distortion.
• Wear simple, solid-colored clothing—preferably dark-colored—to provide contrast with the background.
• Avoid using beauty filters or editing tools that alter your natural appearance.

Our tool ensures that your passport photo meets all the requirements including size, aspect ratio, and background color. It’s suitable not only for Indian passports but also for many other countries with similar standards.

With this simple, step-by-step approach, you can save time, money, and stress—getting passport photos done right from home, every time.
