How to Use the Passport Photo Maker Online

Passport Photo Maker: before and after JPG A BEFORE PASSPORT PHOTOMAKER JPG A AFTER

Passport Photo Maker cuts a photo down to the exact millimetre size a country asks for, at 300 dpi. Choose India, UK, US, Schengen, Australia, Canada, Japan or another preset, then zoom and move the picture until the chin sits on the lower red line and the top of the head on the upper one. Head height is what gets photos rejected, more often than the photo size itself.

Crops to the exact dimensions your country specifies, with chin and crown guides. Head height is what applications are actually rejected for — most countries specify the face as a percentage of the frame, not just the photo size, and a correctly-sized photo with the head too small fails as surely as a wrongly-sized one.

Tips and Good to Know

  1. A photo taken from far away cannot be zoomed enough without going soft. Take the picture with the head filling most of the frame to begin with.

  2. The background is not swapped for white. Indian applications want a plain light background, so photograph against a white wall in daylight.

  3. If the portal wants a file size such as 'under 50 KB', run the PNG through Compress Image to 50 KB afterwards and pick JPG as the output.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about this tool.

Do I need to install anything to use the Passport Photo Maker?

No. Passport Photo Maker runs entirely in your browser — there is nothing to download, no extension and no desktop program. It works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone.

Is it safe to use the Passport Photo Maker online?

Safer than the usual alternative, yes. Most online tools upload your file to a server you know nothing about, where it sits until someone deletes it. Here the file never leaves your device — the processing happens in the page itself, so there is no server copy to leak, retain or sell.

Does Passport Photo Maker reduce my photo’s quality?

Converting and cropping keep quality close to the original. Compressing trades a little detail for a much smaller file, and a lighter setting keeps more of it. Compare the preview with your original before saving.

Will my photo be accepted by the exam form?

The exam photo tools follow the size, dimensions and file weight given in the official notice. Always read the latest notice too, because boards sometimes change their rules between years.

Can I edit pictures with Passport Photo Maker straight from my gallery?

Yes. Pick a photo from your gallery or take one with the camera, then save the result back to your phone. Everything works in the browser, so there is no app to install.

Is Passport Photo Maker free with no watermark?

Yes. Use it for as many pictures as you need without an account, and each image comes back without any logo or mark from the site.
