How to make a passport photo at home
- Take or choose a photo. Face the camera straight on, against a plain wall, in even light. Use the back camera held at eye level if you can.
- Pick your document. We crop to the official size and head height and can make the background white.
- Fine-tune. Use Head size and Up or down if the framing needs a nudge.
- Download or print. Upload the single photo, or print the 6 × 4 in sheet at any photo printer.
