About this tool
Country sizes come only from official government pages, linked below with the date we checked them. Marukit doesn't check your photo against the rules and doesn't remove the background, so take the photo against a plain light wall in even light, and always read the rules of the office you apply to.

Last checked 13 November 2026. In India, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico and Pakistan, adults are usually photographed at the passport office, so there's no preset for them. Rules change, so always check the official page before you print. Marukit isn't affiliated with these governments and can't guarantee that a photo will be accepted.
How to use the Passport Photo Maker
- Take a photo against a plain light wall, facing the camera, then choose it here.
- Pick the photo size, or enter a custom size in mm.
- Drag the photo and use Zoom until the face fits the oval guide.
- Choose a print sheet (4 × 6 in or A4) and press Make passport photo.
- Download the single photo for an online form, or print the sheet at 100% (actual size) and cut along the grey lines.
Tips for a good passport photo
- Stand about half a metre in front of a plain light wall, so there are no shadows behind you.
- Use soft, even light from the front, such as a window you face. Avoid a flash that makes shine or red eyes.
- Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, mouth closed and eyes open. Take off glasses unless the rules allow them.
- Ask someone to take the photo from about 1.5 metres at eye level. Close-up selfies make faces look wider.
Not working? Quick fixes
- The print came out the wrong size: print at 100% or 'actual size', not 'fit to page' or 'fill'.
- There is a coloured border around the photo: you zoomed out or moved the photo past the edge. Zoom in until the photo covers the whole frame.
- 'This size is too big for the chosen sheet': pick A4, or choose 'No sheet'.
Supported formats
- Input
- JPG, PNG, WebP (plus GIF, BMP and AVIF if your browser can open them)
- Output
- JPG (300 DPI) or PNG: the single photo and a print sheet
- Processing
- In your browser
Limitations
- No background removal: the white, light-blue or light-grey fill only covers empty space around the photo.
- The oval is a rough guide. Nothing measures your head or checks the photo against any rules.
- Photos are made at 300 DPI. Print at 100% (actual size); 'fit to page' changes the size.
- Online applications often want their own pixel size and a small file. Check them, and use Compress Image to 50KB if the file is too big.
- Camera details and GPS location are not kept in the output image.
Frequently asked questions
Will my photo be accepted?
We can't promise that. Offices also check expression, lighting, glasses, shadows and how recent the photo is, and some only accept photos from a studio or taken at the office. Follow the official rules linked on this page.
Can it make the background white?
Not yet: it doesn't remove or replace the background in your photo. Take the photo against a plain white or light wall. The fill colour is used only where the photo doesn't cover the frame.
How do I print passport photos at the right size?
Print the sheet at 100% or 'actual size' on 4 × 6 in (10 × 15 cm) photo paper or on A4. Don't use 'fit to page'. Then cut along the thin grey lines.
What is 35 x 45 mm in pixels?
At 300 DPI, 35 × 45 mm is 413 × 531 pixels, and 2 × 2 in is 600 × 600 pixels.
Can I use it for a visa or ID card photo?
Yes, if you know the size. Pick it from the list or enter it in mm under Custom size, then check the rules of the office you apply to.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device.
