How to Make a Passport-Size Photo at Home | Bsbshs
Open the tool →Studio passport photos cost money and take time. With a phone camera and a free browser tool, you can make a perfect passport or visa photo at home, set the right background, and print several copies on one sheet — all without uploading your face to any server.
Get the photo right before you start
A good passport photo starts with a good source image. Stand against a plain wall with even lighting, face the camera straight on with a neutral expression, and make sure your whole head and the top of your shoulders are visible. Avoid shadows behind you and harsh light from one side. A window providing soft daylight works well.
How to make the passport photo
Using the Passport photo tool on Bsbshs:
- Crop your photo so your face fills the frame correctly (use the Crop tool first if needed).
- Open the Passport photo maker and choose the size you need — 35×45 mm for India/UK/EU, 2×2 inches for a US visa, and so on.
- Pick a background colour: white, light blue, or grey, or keep the original.
- Choose how many copies to place on one 4×6 inch sheet — commonly 4, 6, or 8.
- Download the sheet and print it at any photo lab or at home.
Standard passport photo sizes
- India, UK, EU — 35 × 45 mm.
- United States (visa/passport) — 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm).
- China visa — 33 × 48 mm.
- Square formats — used by some IDs and apps.
Always check the exact requirement for your document, as head size and background rules vary by country.
Background colour matters
Most passport authorities require a plain white or light background. If your original has a busy background, remove it first with a background remover, then set a clean white or light-blue backdrop in the passport tool. This gives the uniform look official photos require.
Why do it privately
Your face and ID photos are personal biometric data. A browser-based tool processes everything on your device, so your photo is never uploaded to a server. You get official-ready photos without handing your image to a website.

How do I change the background to white?

Summary
Making a passport photo at home is easy: take a well-lit, straight-on photo against a plain wall, crop it, set the correct size and a plain background, and lay several copies on a 4×6 sheet to print cheaply. Do it in your browser and your biometric photo stays completely private.
