Use Passport Photo Maker

Photos are processed on your device and are never sent to a server. Official requirements (size, background color, expression, clothing) differ by agency, so check the requirements of the organizer before printing or uploading.

How to use Passport Photo Maker

  1. Choose a half-body photo with the face looking straight ahead, then pick a photo size (2×3, 3×4, 4×6 cm, 35×45 mm or 2×2 inch).

  2. Drag the photo and set the zoom until the face fits the frame; turn on the face position guide if needed. Choose the resolution, format and a file size limit if the portal sets one.

  3. Download the passport photo, or lay out a 4R, 3R, 5R or A4 print sheet and download it as a PDF or JPG to print.

Passport photo sizes in pixels

At 300 dpi, the usual resolution for photo printing: 2×3 cm = 236×354 pixels, 3×4 cm = 354×472 pixels, 4×6 cm = 472×709 pixels, 35×45 mm = 413×531 pixels, and 2×2 inch = 600×600 pixels. This tool calculates the sizes and writes the dpi into the file, so print apps read the physical size correctly.

For uploading to portals, many sites limit the file size, for example 200 KB at most. Choose a file size limit in the settings, and the tool lowers the JPG quality, without changing the pixels, until it fits.

About backgrounds and requirements

This tool crops, sizes and lays out print sheets, but it does not remove or replace the photo background. The red, blue or white color in the settings only fills empty areas when the photo is moved or shrunk until there is room at its edges. For a red or blue background, use a photo taken against a plain background.

The face position guide is only an approximation. Official requirements such as head size, background color, clothing and expression differ by agency and change often, so read the organizer’s rules before printing or uploading.

Printing a photo sheet at the exact size

The print sheet PDF has a page size exactly equal to the paper (for example 4R = 10.2×15.2 cm) and the photos are placed at their real size. When printing, choose actual size or 100%, and don’t fit to page, so the photos don’t get larger or smaller.

The tool picks the orientation that holds the most copies, and rotates the photo 90° if that adds more. Thin guide lines at the edge of each photo make cutting easier.

Questions about Passport Photo Maker

Can I change the photo background to red or blue?

Not yet. This tool does not remove backgrounds. The color choice only fills empty areas at the edge of the frame. Use a photo that already has the plain, colored background you need.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The whole process runs in your browser, so personal photos and identity data never leave your device.

How many pixels is a 3×4 cm passport photo?

354×472 pixels at 300 dpi, or 709×945 pixels at 600 dpi. The tool calculates this automatically from the size and resolution you choose.

How do I make a passport photo under 200 KB?

Choose the JPG format and a file size limit of 200 KB. The tool searches for the highest quality that still fits without changing the number of pixels. If it cannot fit, the tool tells you and suggests lowering the resolution.

My photo looks soft. What causes that?

The part of the photo being used has too few pixels for the chosen size, usually because the zoom is too high or the original photo has a low resolution. The tool shows a warning with the number of pixels available. Use a larger photo or lower the print resolution.

What is the difference between 3R, 4R and 5R?

These are photo paper sizes: 3R is about 8.9×12.7 cm, 4R is about 10.2×15.2 cm (4×6 inches), and 5R is about 12.7×17.8 cm. 4R is the most common size for printing passport photos at a print shop.
