How to Passport Photo

01

Upload Your Headshot

Drop a forward-facing headshot onto the page. Use a plain, well-lit background — most countries require white or off-white as of 2026.

02

Pick a Country Size

Choose the target standard: US 2"×2" (600×600 at 300 DPI), UK or Schengen 35×45mm (413×531 at 300 DPI), Japan or India 3.5×4.5cm (same as Schengen).

03

Frame Your Face

Most authorities require the head (chin to crown) to fill 70–80% of the photo height. Drag and scale until your face lands inside the on-screen guides.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common passport photo sizes worldwide?

As of 2026 the most common standards are: US passport 2"×2" (51×51mm, 600×600 px at 300 DPI); UK passport and Schengen visa 35×45mm (413×531 px at 300 DPI); Japan passport 3.5×4.5cm; India passport 3.5×4.5cm or 2"×2" depending on the office. Requirements change occasionally — always check the official government page before submitting.

What DPI do I need for printing a passport photo?

Print authorities almost universally require at least 300 DPI. At 300 DPI, a US 2"×2" print needs to be 600×600 pixels and a 35×45mm print needs to be 413×531 pixels. Anything lower can look pixelated and may be rejected at the counter.

What background color is required?

Most countries — US, UK, Canada, Schengen, India — require a plain white or off-white background as of 2026. Japan accepts plain light blue or grey for some IDs. Avoid patterns, gradients, and shadows on the wall behind you. Check your country's official site for the exact wording.

Are glasses allowed in passport photos?

Rules differ. The US Department of State has not accepted glasses since 2016 (except with a medical waiver). The UK is strict and generally requires glasses-off. The Schengen states usually allow clear, glare-free glasses but recommend taking them off. Always confirm with the issuing authority because rules tighten regularly.

Can I print a passport photo at home?

Yes, with a few conditions: use photo paper (not plain copy paper), set your printer to 300 DPI or 'photo' quality, and use a printer with at least 1200 DPI native resolution. Some biometric programs (e.g., UK in-person applications) still require studio-printed photos — check before relying on a home print.
