How to use the passport photo maker
Make an official passport size photo in under a minute. No app, no signup, no photo editing skills needed.
Step 1: Upload your photo
Click "Upload a photo" on the homepage tool, or drag and drop a JPG or PNG image (up to 10MB). A recent, front-facing photo taken in daylight works best.
- Face the camera directly with a neutral expression
- Stand about 1.5 meters from a plain wall in daylight
- Remove glasses and keep hair away from your eyes
Step 2: Choose your document and crop
Pick the preset that matches your application. The crop box locks to the exact official ratio, so you cannot get the shape wrong. Drag to position your face, then confirm.
- India / Pakistan passport: 35x45mm
- Pakistan CNIC / NICOP: 35x45mm on blue
- US visa: 2x2 inch square
- UK / Schengen visa: 35x45mm
Step 3: Set the background and download
Choose white, blue, red, or light grey, or tap "Remove background (AI)" to replace a messy room with a clean official backdrop. Then download two files: the exact-pixel digital photo for online portals, and a 4x6 inch print sheet with 6 copies for physical applications.
How to make a passport size photo on your mobile
No computer needed. Open this site in your mobile browser (Chrome or Safari), tap the upload area, and choose a photo from your gallery or take a new one with the camera. The cropper works with touch: drag to move, pinch the corners to resize. Pick your document preset, set the background, and download. The whole process takes under a minute on a phone.
- Use the rear camera in daylight for the sharpest source photo
- Ask someone to take it, or prop the phone at eye level with a timer
- Downloaded files save straight to your gallery or downloads folder
Tips for the best result
- Use the highest-resolution original photo you have; the tool never improves a blurry source
- Keep 70 to 80 percent of the frame filled by your face
- Check the preview before downloading, especially around hair edges after AI background removal
