Passport size photo maker online
Create a passport size photo at the right dimensions — US 2×2 inch (600×600 px) or 3.5×4.5 cm for India, UK and Schengen — with a white background, free and entirely in your browser.
Passport size photo dimensions & measurements
The passport photo size you need depends on the country and purpose. The US passport photo size is 2×2 inch (600×600 px), while the photo size for a passport in India, the UK and Schengen countries is 3.5×4.5 cm. Here are the most common passport photo dimensions and measurements — the maker above has presets for each:
| Used for | Centimetres | Inches | Pixels (300 DPI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| India / UK / Schengen | 3.5 × 4.5 cm | 1.38 × 1.77 in | ≈ 413 × 531 px |
| US visa, OCI, Green Card | 5.1 × 5.1 cm | 2 × 2 in | 600 × 600 px |
| Stamp size (some forms) | 2 × 2.5 cm | 0.8 × 1 in | ≈ 236 × 295 px |
Passport size photo in cm, inches & ratio
In India, the UK and Schengen countries, a passport size photo is 3.5 cm wide × 4.5 cm tall — the same as 1.38 × 1.77 inches. That works out to an aspect ratio of about 7:9(0.78), so the photo is slightly taller than it is wide. In those countries 3.5 × 4.5 cm is the standard; US visa, OCI and Green Card photos instead use the square 2 × 2 inch (5.1 × 5.1 cm, 1:1 ratio) size. Pick the matching preset above and the maker outputs the exact dimensions for you.
⚠️ Sizes and file limits vary between forms — always confirm the exact measurement in the official instructions before you upload or print.

Skip the studio — make passport photos at home
A trip to the photo studio for a few passport prints costs time and money, and you still have to scan them for online forms. With this tool you can turn any decent front-facing photo into a correctly sized passport photo in seconds, ready to upload to an online portal or print at home.
The maker outputs the exact dimensions required for passport, visa and ID photos, on a clean background, with the face centred. For the sharpest result, start from a well-lit photo taken against a plain wall. If the background is messy, run it through our Remove Background tool first, then come back here to set the size and white background.
How to take a good photo at home
The maker handles size and background, but a clean source photo does the rest. Stand a step away from a plain light-coloured wall and face a window so soft daylight falls evenly on your face with no harsh shadows. Hold the camera at eye level, keep a neutral expression with your eyes open, and avoid hats or tinted glasses. Once you have a sharp, well-lit frame, upload it here and select the size your application needs. If the wall behind you is patterned, run the shot through our Remove Background tool first, then set a clean white background.
Meeting the file size and print rules
Setting the right dimensions is only half the job — many online forms also enforce a KB ceiling, often 20–50 KB. After you download your photo, send it to the Image Compressor to land on the exact size your portal demands, or use a one-tap preset such as compress to 50 KB. If you instead need prints, our change image DPI tool lets you set 300 or 600 DPI so the photo comes out the correct physical size on paper.
Sizes for forms vs visas
The size you choose depends on the application. India, the UK and Schengen countries use 3.5×4.5 cm (≈413×531 px), while US visa, OCI and Green Card photos are a square 2×2 inch (600×600 px). Pick the matching preset above. If your form needs a specific pixel size for the upload box, set it precisely with our Image Resizer after making the photo here.
