Step 1: Take the photo
- Stand about a metre in front of a plain white or off-white wall, facing a window for soft, even light.
- Ask someone to hold the phone at your eye level, about 1–1.5 metres away. Do not use the selfie camera up close; it distorts the face.
- Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open, ears visible if possible.
- Remove spectacles if they reflect light, and avoid caps or dark clothing that blends with shadows.
Step 2: Crop to the exact size online
- Open the Passport Size Photo Maker and choose your photo.
- Select the preset, for example India passport – 35 × 45 mm.
- Use the zoom slider and drag the photo so your face sits inside the oval guide, with the head filling roughly 70–80% of the height.
- Choose the download: single photo, 4 × 6 print sheet or A4 PDF sheet.
Step 3: Print or upload
For printing: the 4 × 6 inch sheet holds 8 photos of 35 × 45 mm. Ask the photo lab for a normal 4R (4×6) print at 100% scale. At home, print the A4 PDF (30 photos) at "Actual size", not "Fit to page", on photo paper.
For online forms: download the single photo and set a maximum size such as 50 KB, or use Compress Image to 50 KB. The single photo is already saved at 300 DPI.
Background and editing
The tool crops and resizes but does not change your background or face, which keeps the photo acceptable for official use. If the wall is not white, retake the photo against a lighter background rather than editing it, because heavily edited photos are often rejected.
