How it works

How to make a passport size photo in 3 steps

No app, no account and no upload. It takes about three minutes, including the print sheet.

  1. Add a front-facing photo

    Drop a photo on the box above, choose one from your gallery, or take one with your phone. A plain wall behind you and even light from a window work best.

  2. Pick the size and fit your face

    Choose your country or document, then drag and zoom until the crown touches the top line and the chin sits between the two dashed lines.

  3. Download the photo or a print sheet

    Save the single photo as a JPG at the exact size, or download a 4 × 6 in or A4 sheet with several copies, ready to print.

Before you upload

Which authorities accept an edited photo?

Some authorities ask for an unedited photo. The US State Department says not to change a passport photo with software, apps, filters or AI. GOV.UK says the photo must be unaltered by software, and tells online applicants not to crop it. DG I&P asks for a professionally taken photo that is not cut down from a larger picture or edited.

This tool crops, sizes and arranges your photo, and can replace a plain background. For an official online upload to those authorities, the safest photo is one taken straight on, in good light, against a plain wall, at the distance they describe. Use this tool for print sheets, size and file limits, ID, exam, job and agent forms, and anywhere an edited photo is accepted.

Canada asks for photos taken in person by a commercial photographer. Specifications change, so always check the issuing office before you apply. The links in the size table go to the source pages we used.

Tips

How to take a photo that passes

Most rejected photos fail because of light and distance, not size. These six habits fix most of it.

Face a window, not a lamp

Soft daylight on your face removes shadows. Stand about 50 cm in front of a plain wall so the wall does not show your shadow.

Have someone take it from 1.5 metres

A camera held at arm length bends the face. Prop the phone at eye level or ask a friend to stand 1.5 metres away, and then crop closer here.

Neutral face, eyes open, mouth closed

Look straight at the lens, keep your head level, and do not smile. Pull hair back from your eyes and ears.

Wear a colour that differs from the wall

Against a white wall, wear a darker top. White on white makes the shoulders disappear and confuses background tools.

Use the guide lines

Every size has a head-height range. Put the crown on the top line and the chin between the dashed lines, and the photo passes the size check.

Print on photo paper

Download the 4 × 6 in sheet and print it at 100%, not scaled to the page. A photo shop or lab gives sharper results than a home inkjet.

Uses

Everything works on a phone, so you can take, crop and download without a computer.

The quickest routes for the most common jobs.

Make a Pakistan passport size photo on your phone
  1. Take a photo against a plain white wall in daylight, or choose one from your gallery, and add it above.
  2. Choose Pakistan passport (35 × 45 mm). Drag and zoom until your crown is on the top line and your chin is between the dashed lines.
  3. Tap Download photo. For the online upload choose Pakistan online passport upload, which keeps the file under 20 KB.
Make a photo under 20 KB or 50 KB for a form
  1. Choose Custom size, or a country preset, and type the size in the form instructions.
  2. Type the file size limit, for example 20 or 50, or tap a quick button.
  3. Download the JPG. The size under the preview shows the real file size, and a warning appears if it cannot be reached.
Print a passport photo sheet at home or at a shop
  1. Finish your photo, then scroll to Print sheet and pick 4 × 6 in, 5 × 7 in or A4.
  2. Download the sheet as a JPG for a photo shop kiosk or as a PDF for home printing.
  3. Print at 100% (Actual size) on photo paper, and cut along the thin guides.
Replace the background with white
  1. Set Background to Replace plain background and pick white, grey, cream or blue.
  2. If the edges look rough, drag the Sensitivity slider, or use the Erase and Restore brush to fix small spots.
  3. Check the edge of the hair and the shoulders before you download. A plain, evenly lit wall gives the cleanest result.
Privacy

Private by design: your face stays on your device

Most photo sites upload your face to a server. This tool does not. The crop, the background change, the file compression and the print sheet are all done on your own device, so your photo is never sent to FileXL or anyone else, and nothing is stored once you close the page.

Need something else? Use the photo resizer to change pixel size or file size for any image, the PDF merger to join documents, or the Urdu OCR to read text from a picture. Each one runs in your browser too.

FAQ

Passport photo questions, answered

How do I make a passport size photo online?

Add a front-facing photo to the tool above, choose your country or document, drag and zoom until your head sits between the guide lines, and click Download photo. You can then download a print sheet with several copies. Everything happens in your browser.

What is the passport photo size in Pakistan?

DG I&P asks for a photo 45 mm high by 35 mm wide on a plain white background, with the head 29 to 34 mm from chin to crown. That is 413 × 531 pixels at 300 dpi. For the online upload the DG I&P pages mention a file of up to 20 KB, so use the Pakistan online passport upload size.

How do I make a passport photo under 20 KB?

Choose Pakistan online passport upload, or type 20 in the file size box. The tool lowers the JPG quality step by step until the file fits, and the exact size is shown under the preview. If 20 KB cannot be reached, a warning tells you to use a smaller pixel size.

What is the US passport photo size?

US passport photos are 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm) with the head 1 to 1⅜ inches (25 to 35 mm) from chin to top, on a white or off-white background. At 300 dpi that is 600 × 600 pixels. The State Department also says not to change the photo with software, apps, filters or AI.

What is the UK passport photo size?

Printed UK photos are 45 mm high by 35 mm wide, with the head 29 to 34 mm from crown to chin, on a plain cream or light grey background. Online photos need at least 600 × 750 pixels and a file of 50 KB to 10 MB, and GOV.UK tells you not to crop them yourself.

Is a 35 × 45 mm photo the same as a 3.5 × 4.5 cm photo?

Yes. 35 × 45 mm is 3.5 × 4.5 cm, or about 1.4 × 1.8 inches. It is the standard size for Pakistan, India, the UK, most of Europe and many other countries.

What size is a passport photo in pixels?

At 300 dpi, 35 × 45 mm is 413 × 531 pixels, 2 × 2 inches is 600 × 600 pixels, and 50 × 70 mm is 591 × 827 pixels. Some online forms ask for a different pixel size. The presets here use the size the authority states.

Can I change the background to white?

Yes, if the original background is plain. Choose Replace plain background, and the tool finds the background from the edges of the photo and fills it with white, grey, cream or blue. Messy or patterned backgrounds do not work well, and hair edges can look rough, so check the result. You can fix small spots with the Erase and Restore brush.

Will an edited photo be accepted for a passport?

It depends on the authority. The US State Department and GOV.UK say not to alter the photo with software, and DG I&P asks for a professionally taken photo that is not cut down from a larger one. This tool is best for sizing, print sheets, and forms that accept self-made photos. For official online uploads, take the photo against a plain wall at the right distance and keep edits to a minimum.

Can I use a selfie?

A close selfie bends the face, which can fail a check. Prop your phone at eye level, stand about 1.5 metres away or ask a friend to take it, and let this tool crop closer. Face a window, keep your head level and look straight at the lens.

Can I print the photos at home?

Yes. Download the 4 × 6 in sheet, or the A4 sheet, and print it at 100% (Actual size) on photo paper. Scaling the page to fit would change the photo size. Some authorities, such as Passport Seva in India, do not accept plain computer prints, so a photo shop is safer.

How many photos fit on a 4 × 6 sheet?

Eight photos of 35 × 45 mm fit on a 4 × 6 inch sheet, and six photos of 2 × 2 inches fit on 4 × 6 when turned. The tool shows the number for your size and sheet, and you can print fewer.

What does the head guide mean?

The oval shows where the head should sit. The top line is for the crown of your head, and the two dashed lines mark the shortest and longest allowed chin position for the size you picked. The guide helps you fit the head size rule, but it does not check your photo.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The photo is opened, cropped, compressed and arranged inside your browser. It is never sent to FileXL or any other server, and nothing is saved when you close the page.

Is it free, and is there a watermark?

It is free to use, has no watermark, no sign-up and no daily limit.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Open this page in Safari or Chrome, tap Choose photo or Take photo, drag and pinch to fit your face, and download. It also works on Windows, Mac and Chromebook.

What file format is the download?

The photo is a JPG, saved with 300 dpi print information. The print sheet can be a JPG or a PDF.

Can I make a photo for a baby or a child?

You can crop any photo to the right size, but rules for babies and children differ, for example about open eyes and expression. Check the rules of the issuing office. The tool does not check the photo against them.

What is dpi, and why 300?

Dpi means dots per inch, the print sharpness. 300 dpi is the usual standard for photo prints, so a 35 × 45 mm photo is 413 × 531 pixels. A higher dpi gives a bigger pixel size, not a bigger print.

Why is my photo soft or blurry?

The original has too few pixels for the size, or you zoomed in a lot. The tool warns you when the photo is enlarged. Use a sharper, larger original, take it in good light, and zoom less.
