Passport Photo Maker — 2x2, 35x45 & 40x50mm Passport Photos

Turn any photo into a passport photo in the exact official size — 2×2 inch (US/India visa), 35×45mm (Schengen/UK), or 40×50mm (Bangladesh passport). Crop with drag + zoom, shrink to an exact KB size for online forms, and print a 4×6 sheet with 6 copies. Everything runs in your browser: your photo is never uploaded, stored or shared.

Official sizes, exact-KB mode, 4×6 print sheet — free, no sign-up.

Size:

Drag the preview to position your face. The frame shows exactly what the final photo will contain.

Sheet background:

Honest note: this tool crops and resizes — it does not remove or replace your photo's background, and it has no face detection. Take the photo against a plain white wall, then position it with drag + zoom. The background colour above applies to the print sheet around the copies.

Passport photo sizes by country

There is no single world standard — every issuing authority sets its own size, and a form will reject a photo that is even slightly off. The sizes this tool covers:

  • 2×2 inch (51×51mm) — USA, India. US visa and passport photos, and Indian passport and visa photos, are 2×2 inches. Output here is 600×600 pixels at 300 dpi.
  • 35×45mm — Schengen, UK, most of Europe. The standard European ID and visa size. Output is 413×531 pixels at 300 dpi.
  • 40×50mm — Bangladesh passport. Bangladeshi passport photos use the 40×50mm size. Output is 472×591 pixels at 300 dpi.
  • 33×48mm — other visas. Several visa categories ask for 33×48mm. Output is 390×567 pixels at 300 dpi.

All outputs are generated at 300 dpi print resolution, which is what studios and online portals expect. If your form states a size in pixels instead of millimetres — for example 600×600 — the 2×2 inch preset matches it exactly.

How to make a passport photo with this tool

Step 1 — Take a good source photo. Stand against a plain white or off-white wall in daylight, face the camera directly, neutral expression, eyes open, no shadows on the wall. A phone photo is fine — the tool only needs a clear, front-facing shot.

Step 2 — Choose the size. Pick your country's size from the buttons. The frame switches to that exact aspect ratio.

Step 3 — Position with drag + zoom. Drag the preview so your face sits centred with a little space above the head, and zoom until the head-and-shoulders fill the frame the way the authority's sample shows. The preview is exactly what the final file will contain — no surprises after download.

Step 4 — Download. Download the single photo for online forms, or the 4×6 print sheet for a studio print. If the form demands an exact file size, type it in the KB box first (see below).

Step 5 — Check before you submit. Open the downloaded file and look at it at full size: face centred, no cut-off chin or forehead, background plain, file size within the form's limit. A thirty-second check here saves a rejection email days later, because most portals only tell you the photo failed after you have already submitted everything else.

Passport photo rules that get photos rejected

Size is only the first check. The common rejection reasons are: a busy or coloured background (use a plain white wall), shadows on the face or wall, head coverings or dark glasses (unless worn daily for religious reasons), an old photo (most authorities want one taken within the last 6 months), and heavy filters or retouching. This tool cannot fix a bad source photo — it can only crop a good one to the right size — so spend the two minutes getting the source shot right.

Exact-KB mode: for forms with a file-size limit

Many government portals reject uploads over a stated limit — 100KB, 200KB or 50KB are common. Type the limit into the KB box and the tool binary-searches the JPEG quality (8 rounds, the same proven method our Image Compressor uses) to land at or under your target while keeping the highest quality that fits. If even the lowest usable quality cannot reach a very small target, it tells you the smallest size it achieved, so you know before uploading instead of after a rejection.

For a deeper size workflow — converting between formats, or resizing any image — use the Image Converter, and for iPhone photos that arrive as HEIC, convert first with the HEIC to JPG Converter.

4×6 print sheet: 6 copies, one studio print

The print sheet tiles your finished photo 6 times (2 columns × 3 rows) onto a 4×6 inch canvas at 300 dpi (1200×1800 pixels). Take the sheet file to any photo studio or print it at home on 4×6 photo paper, then cut along the edges. Six copies cost one print instead of six — and you have spares for the next form. The sheet background colour you picked fills the margins around the copies.

Is my photo private?

Yes. The photo is read into your browser, cropped on a canvas in your browser, and downloaded from your browser. It is never uploaded to any server, never stored, and disappears when you close the page — the same privacy posture as every tool on this site.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a passport photo?

It depends on the country: 2×2 inch (51×51mm) for the USA and India, 35×45mm for Schengen and the UK, 40×50mm for Bangladesh passports, and 33×48mm for some other visas. Pick your country's size above and the tool outputs that exact size at 300 dpi.

What size photo does a Bangladesh passport need?

Bangladesh passport photos are 40×50mm. Choose the 40×50mm (Bangladesh) preset and the tool outputs a 472×591 pixel photo at 300 dpi.

Can I print passport photos at home on 4×6 paper?

Yes. Download the 4×6 print sheet, which places 6 copies of your photo on a 1200×1800 canvas, print it on 4×6 photo paper at any studio or home printer, and cut the copies apart.

What background colour should a passport photo have?

Almost every authority wants a plain white or very light background with no patterns or shadows. Photograph yourself against a plain white wall; this tool crops and resizes but does not replace the background.

How do I make my passport photo exactly 100KB?

Type 100 in the exact-size KB box before downloading (JPG format). The tool searches JPEG quality settings to land at or under 100KB at the highest quality that fits, and reports the achieved size.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere when I use this tool?

No. Everything happens in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device, is never sent to a server, and is gone when you close the page.

Methodology: output dimensions are the official sizes at 300 dpi (2×2in = 600×600px, 35×45mm = 413×531px, 40×50mm = 472×591px, 33×48mm = 390×567px). Always confirm the size your specific form or authority currently asks for, as requirements change. This tool runs entirely in your browser and is not affiliated with any passport authority.
