A studio charges a small fortune for a sheet of passport photos you could make yourself in two minutes. With a decent phone photo and the right tool, you can crop to the exact passport size, fit several copies on a single print sheet, and get it printed at any lab for the price of one photo — or print it at home. Here’s how.
Use a clear, front-facing photo against a plain, light background in even lighting.
Pick the size (35×45 mm for an Indian passport) and use zoom and the vertical slider to centre your face.
Choose 4R (4×6 inch) for the cheapest lab print, or A4 to fit many more copies on one sheet.
The tool tiles the maximum copies at 300 DPI — download the JPG and print it or give it to a photo lab.
The right passport photo specs
An Indian passport photo is 35×45 mm, and most government and visa applications follow the same size. The face should be centred and take up roughly 70–80% of the frame, with a plain light or white background and a neutral expression. At print quality (300 DPI) that 35×45 mm photo is about 413×531 pixels — which is exactly what this tool produces.
Why a print sheet saves money
Photo labs charge per print, not per photo. By arranging several passport copies onto one 4R (4×6 inch) print — typically six copies — you pay for a single print and cut out the photos yourself using the optional guide lines. An A4 sheet fits around thirty copies, ideal if you need them for a whole family or many forms.
Tips for a photo that gets accepted
- Use a plain white or light-grey wall as the background.
- Face the camera straight on with a neutral expression and open eyes.
- Avoid shadows — soft, even daylight works best.
- Don’t wear anything that covers your face or hairline.
Tip: Need a plain background? Remove the original one with the Background Remover, place the cut-out on white, then bring it here to make your passport sheet.
