How to Make a Passport-Size Photo at Home

Published 2026-06-16 · ToolTasker

Photo studios charge a premium for passport photos you can make yourself in minutes — as long as you follow a few rules.

Take a good base photo

Face the camera straight on with a neutral expression, use even lighting with no shadows, and stand against a plain light background.

Steps

  1. Open the Passport Photo Maker.
  2. Upload your photo.
  3. Choose the size for your country (e.g. 2×2 in for the US, 35×45 mm for EU/UK).
  4. Download and print at a photo lab or at home.

Important

Requirements vary by country and document. Always check your government's official photo guidelines (head size, background color, expression) before submitting.
