Official Photo Checklist: DOs
  • Maintain Neutral Expression: Keep your eyes completely open, mouth closed, and look directly straight into the camera lens.
  • Even Lighting: Use balanced natural lighting or flash positioned to eliminate shadows behind ears or under your chin.
  • Head & Shoulder Alignment: Sit straight with shoulders square to the camera. Keep both ears and the full oval of your face visible.
  • High Contrast Clothes: Wear dark or medium tone everyday clothing that contrasts clearly with the white or light background.
Avoid Rejection: DON'Ts
  • No Eyeglasses: As per updated ICAO and US/India guidelines, eyeglasses with reflections or tinted lenses cause instant rejection.
  • No Tilting or Turning: Do not tilt your head sideways, downwards, or upwards. Portrait angle must be strictly perpendicular.
  • No Smiling with Teeth: Official passports mandate biometric facial recognition neutrality — avoid grinning or raising eyebrows.
  • No White Shirts on White BG: Avoid wearing plain white clothes that blend seamlessly into the white background.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
For an Indian passport, the official dimension specified by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) is 35 mm × 45 mm (3.5 cm × 4.5 cm) with a plain white background. The facial image from the crown of the head to the chin must measure between 25 mm and 35 mm (covering 70% to 80% of the photograph).
To take a passport photo at home:
  1. Stand 4 to 5 feet away from a plain wall facing a well-lit window.
  2. Have someone take a portrait-mode photo at eye level, or use a tripod with a timer.
  3. Keep your face centered, shoulders straight, hair tucked behind ears, and a calm, neutral expression.
  4. Upload your photo to this tool, align the face with the yellow crown, green eye level, and red chin guide lines, then export!
Download the 4×6" Print Sheet from our tool. Copy the JPEG image to a USB drive or your phone, and visit any local photo lab, instant print kiosk (such as Kodak Express, Walgreens, CVS, or local studio), or use your own home color photo printer. Select standard 4×6" (10×15 cm) borderless photo paper. You will get 6 to 8 identical, studio-grade passport photos for a fraction of studio prices.
Indian passports and Schengen visas use the rectangular 35 × 45 mm format (aspect ratio ~ 1:1.28). In contrast, US Passport, US Visa, and Indian OCI cards require a square 2 × 2 inch (51 × 51 mm / 600 × 600 px) format. Our tool provides 1-click presets for both formats.

Created an 8-photo 4x6 inch printable sheet from a smartphone selfie. Got it printed at local color lab for just ₹10. Saved over ₹150 compared to studio rates.

Sunita Rani Sharma

Created 35x45mm white background photos for my Indian passport renewal at PSK. The biometric oval guide ensured exact 70-80% face coverage. The submission was accepted without any objection.
