How to make a passport photo at home

  1. Stand facing the camera in front of a plain, light wall in good, even light. Have someone take the photo from chest height, or use a timer — leave room around your head for cropping.
  2. Drop the photo above and adjust the crop box. Keep your face around 70–80% of the frame height, eyes in the upper half.
  3. Pick the file size your form requires, tap Create passport photo, and download — or generate the 8-copy print sheet too.

One print, eight photos

Photo studios charge ₹100–200 for a set of passport photos. A single 4×6 inch print of the sheet this tool creates costs ₹10–30 at the same counter — and gives you eight identical, correctly sized photos with cut lines. The sheet is generated at exactly 300 DPI, so printed at standard postcard size each photo measures precisely 3.5 × 4.5 cm. That works at any studio, instant print kiosk, or home photo printer.

Getting the photo right

Dimensions are only half of acceptance — the content matters as much. Use a white or very light background with no shadows. Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression and both ears visible where possible. No caps, no tinted glasses, and nothing covering the face. For online forms, also match the file-size band the portal states — the 20–50 KB preset covers the common government-form requirement, and the custom option handles everything else.

One photo, every form

Once you have the finished 3.5 × 4.5 cm file, keep it — the same photo works for job applications, college admissions, ID cards and most government portals, saving a studio visit each time. If a particular portal demands a different file size than the presets here, run the same photo through our Image Compressor to hit any KB target, or the Signature Resizer when an exam needs the photo and signature pair in official specs.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a passport photo in India?

The standard is 3.5 × 4.5 cm — used for passport applications, most government forms, job applications and ID cards. At print quality (300 DPI) that is exactly 413 × 531 pixels, which is what this tool produces.

Will this photo be accepted for my passport or visa application?

The tool gives you the exact required dimensions. Content rules are up to you: use a plain white background, face the camera straight on with a neutral expression, keep your face about 70–80% of the frame height, and avoid glasses, caps and shadows. For visas, check that country’s specific rules — sizes vary.

How do I print the 8-photo sheet?

Download the sheet and take it to any photo studio or order online — ask for a “4×6 inch (postcard size) glossy print”, the most common and cheapest print size in India, typically ₹10–30. Cut along the light grey guide lines and you have 8 identical passport photos.

Can I print the sheet at home?

Yes — print on 4×6 photo paper at 100% scale (disable “fit to page”). The file is built at exactly 300 DPI for a 4×6 sheet, so photos come out at true 3.5 × 4.5 cm without any adjustment.

Why would I need the 20–50 KB option?

Online forms often cap photo uploads — SSC-style portals commonly require 20–50 KB, NTA/NEET allows 10–200 KB. Pick the band your form asks for and the file lands inside it, at the highest quality that fits. For other limits, use the custom option or our Image Compressor.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. Cropping, resizing and the print-sheet layout are all done in your browser on your own device. The photo never leaves your phone or computer.
