How to Create a Passport Size Photo from a Normal Selfie

Do It Yourself: Passport Photos

Going to a photo studio just to get a standard passport photo is a hassle. With a good smartphone camera and the right tools, you can create a perfect passport photo right at home.

Tips for a Good Source Photo

• Lighting: Face a window so natural light hits your face evenly. Avoid harsh shadows.
• Background: Stand against a plain, light-colored wall (white or light blue).
• Expression: Keep a neutral expression, look straight at the lens, and don't wear glasses with heavy glare.

Cropping to the Correct Size

Different countries and exams have different size requirements, but the standard Indian passport size is 3.5cm x 4.5cm.

1. Open the Passport Photo Creator.
2. Upload your photo.
3. Use the crop box to frame your face correctly (your face should cover about 70-80% of the photo).
4. The tool will automatically resize and crop it to exactly 3.5x4.5 cm (or your desired dimensions).

You can even generate an A4 sheet layout to print multiple copies at a local printing shop for just a few rupees!
