Passport photo maker: 2x2 photos to print
Take the photo with your phone, fit the face in the outline and download a 4x6 sheet with six 2x2 photos to print at any pharmacy or photo lab. It all happens in your browser: the photo is never uploaded.
Drop your photo here
A front-facing photo against a plain, light background. JPG, PNG or HEIC — nothing leaves your browser.
The tool crops and sizes the photo but does not replace the background: take it facing the camera, against a plain light wall, in good light with no shadows on the face.
The image is processed inside this tab. Nothing is sent to a server, and EXIF metadata, including GPS location, is not copied into the output file.
Step by step
- Take a front-facing photo against a plain white or off-white wall, in good light.
- Open it here, then drag and zoom until the face fills the outline.
- Pick the photo size and where you will print it.
- Download the sheet and order it as a 4x6 print, or print it at home at actual size.
Six passport photos for the price of one 4x6 print
A 4x6 print usually costs less than a dollar at pharmacies and photo kiosks, while passport photos taken at the counter cost many times more. The sheet made here holds six 2x2 in photos at exactly the right size, with cut lines: order it as a 4x6 print, with no enlarging or cropping.
With a printer at home, choose Letter: the PDF prints at actual size. Photo paper gives the best result.
How to take a passport photo with your phone
Face the camera straight on, about 4 feet away — closer than that and the lens distorts the face. Ask someone to take it with the rear camera, which is sharper than the selfie camera.
Stand against a plain white or off-white wall, with light coming from the front, such as a window, so there are no shadows on the face or the background. Keep a neutral expression with both eyes open, and take off your glasses: they are not allowed in US passport photos.
Check the official requirements
For a US passport, the photo must be 2x2 inches, in color, taken in the last six months, with the head between 1 and 1⅜ inches from chin to top. The outline on the preview follows those proportions. The State Department accepts photos you take yourself, as long as they meet every rule.
The tool also makes 35x45 mm photos (Schengen visas, UK and most EU passports) and the Brazilian 3x4 cm. It crops and sizes the photo but does not change the background, so check the requirements of the office you are applying to before sending it.
When to use it
- US passport application or renewal
- US visa application photo
- Schengen visa or UK passport (35x45 mm)
- Student, work or membership ID cards
- Brazilian 3x4 cm photos for documents
