Passport Size Photo Maker Online Free (India + 35 Countries)

How to use it

1. Take the photo against a plain white or off-white wall, facing a window, with someone else holding the camera about 4 feet away at eye level. No glasses, hats or filters. Stand about 1 m from the wall so shadows stay soft. Do not use AI or apps that cut out or replace the background — retake against a real light wall (US and most visa rules forbid digital background changes).
2. Upload it here. It opens in your browser only. On phones you can Rotate 90° if the picture is sideways; EXIF orientation is applied when the browser supports it.
3. Line up the guides: drag and zoom until the top of your hair is in the green band, your eyes in the blue band and your chin in the red band.
4. Download the JPEG for online use (DS-160 or online passport renewal), or the 4x6 sheet to print at a pharmacy or at home.

Filters and digital edits are not allowed, including cutting out or replacing the background.

US visa photo (DS-160) and DV Lottery

Visa photos follow the same 2 × 2 inch rules. The head must be 1 to 1 3/8 inches (22–35 mm), or 50–69% of the image height. Eyeglasses are no longer allowed except for documented medical reasons.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The photo is opened, cropped and saved inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to Crop Desk.

Can I print the photos at home or at a print shop?

Yes. Download the 4×6 inch print sheet, which fits as many copies as possible at 300 DPI, and print it at actual size (100%) on 4×6 photo paper. Check one copy with a ruler before cutting.

What do the coloured guide bands mean?

The green band is where the top of the head (crown) should fall and the red band is where the chin should be. Keeping both inside their bands gives the head height required for the chosen country.

Does this guarantee my photo will be accepted?

No tool can guarantee acceptance. The passport or visa office makes the final decision, and some countries (for example Germany or Canada for paper applications) require photos from certified photographers or captured at the office. Always check the official rules.
