How to Make a Passport Size Photo Online (Free)

June 18, 2026 1 min read

Turn any selfie into a standard passport or visa size photo — 3.5×4.5cm, 2×2in and more — with an optional KB limit, free and in your browser.

Standard passport photo sizes

Different countries use different dimensions. India uses 3.5 × 4.5 cm, the US uses 2 × 2 inches, and the UK, EU and Schengen area use 35 × 45 mm. Getting the exact aspect ratio right is what makes a photo acceptable.

How to make one

  1. Take a clear, front-facing photo against a plain, light background.
  2. Upload it below and choose your required size.
  3. Optionally set a maximum file size in KB for online applications.
  4. Download your correctly-sized photo.

Tips for an acceptable photo

  • Face the camera directly with a neutral expression.
  • Use even lighting to avoid shadows behind you.
  • Keep your whole head and the top of your shoulders in frame.
  • Avoid hats, sunglasses and heavy filters.
The tool center-crops your photo to the exact ratio on a white background and processes everything locally — your photo is never uploaded.
