How to Make a Passport Size Photo Online (Exact Size, Print Sheet and KB Limit)

Every form seems to ask for a different photo. A passport application wants 35x45 mm, a job portal wants 300x300 pixels under 100 KB, another form wants stamp size. Going to a studio each time costs money, and cutting a picture by hand in an image editor often gives the wrong dimensions.

The free Passport Size Photo Maker cuts your picture to an exact size in seconds, and also prepares a 4x6 inch sheet that any photo shop can print for you.

Quick answer

Open the tool, choose your photo, pick a size such as 35x45 mm or 300x300 pixels, set a maximum KB if the form needs one, and download. Choose the "sheet" option to get several copies on one 4x6 inch page.

Sizes you can choose

• 35x45 mm, the common passport and visa size in many countries.
• 40x50 mm and 45x55 mm, used by various forms and ID cards.
• Stamp size, for small photos on certificates and applications.
• 300x300 and 300x400 pixels, typical for online job and admission forms.
• Signature size (300x80 pixels), for forms that also ask for a signature image.

Always read the instructions of the specific form. Some ask for millimetres to print, others pixels to upload, and many add a file-size limit.

How to make the photo, step by step

1. Open the Passport Size Photo Maker.
2. Choose a picture, or take one with the camera button if your device allows it. JPG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC pictures are accepted.
3. Select the size the form asks for.
4. If the form has a file-size limit, type the maximum KB.
5. Choose "single" for one photo, or "sheet" for several copies on a 4x6 inch page for printing.
6. Download the result.

How to take a good source photo

The tool resizes and crops exactly, but it does not change the background or the face, so the quality of your original matters:

• Stand in front of a plain white or light wall with the light in front of you.
• Look straight at the camera, with a neutral expression and both ears visible if the rules require it.
• Keep the camera at eye level and avoid wide-angle distortion by not holding it too close.
• Do not wear glasses with glare, and keep hair away from your eyes.
• Leave some space around your head so the crop does not cut it off.

Meeting a KB limit

Online forms often say "photo under 100 KB". Type that limit in the maximum KB field and the picture is compressed as gently as possible to fit. If you already have the photo at the right pixel size and only need to shrink the file, the Reduce Image Size in KB tool is made exactly for that. To set pixel size and KB together, use Resize Image.

Printing at a photo shop

The 4x6 inch sheet is a standard print size. Save it to a phone or pen drive, take it to any photo shop and ask for a normal 4x6 print. You get several passport photos on one page, which is cheaper than ordering single photos.

Check before you submit

The tool guarantees the exact size you choose. It does not check the other rules, such as how large the face must be in the frame or what background colour is allowed. Compare the result with the instructions of your embassy, office or website before you submit it.

Is it private?

Your picture is processed only to produce the result and is deleted automatically afterwards. It is not stored in a database. Details are in the privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tool change the background? No. The background stays as it is, so use a plain white or light wall for the best result.

Can I make a photo from an iPhone picture? Yes. HEIC pictures from iPhones are accepted.

How do I get several copies on one page? Choose the sheet option to place multiple copies of the same photo on a 4x6 inch page.

What if the form needs less than 50 KB? Set the maximum KB in the tool. If the face looks too soft, try a slightly larger limit.

Is it free? Yes. There is no sign-up or watermark.
