Applying for official documents is stressful enough without having to hunt down a professional photography studio just for a 2x2 inch print. Whether you are updating your Aadhaar card, applying for a PAN card, getting a travel visa, or filling out a government exam form (like UPSC or SSC), having a correctly sized passport photo is mandatory. You can create a perfect, compliant passport photo from a selfie completely for free online.
Common Passport Photo Dimensions

- US Visa / US Passport – 2 x 2 inches (51mm x 51mm).
- UPSC / SSC Exam Forms – Typically require specific dimensions in pixels (like 3.5cm x 4.5cm) and a strict file size under 50KB.

How to Create a Passport Photo using EveryTool
- Take a photo of yourself standing against a plain, well-lit white or off-white wall. Look straight into the camera with a neutral expression.
- Open the Passport Size Photo Maker on EveryTool.
- Upload the photo.
- Select your required dimensions from the standard presets (e.g., India 3.5x4.5cm) or enter custom dimensions.
- Use the crop box to center your face according to standard guidelines (head should take up about 70-80% of the frame).
- Click Download to save the final print-ready image.
Make sure both your ears are visible and there are no harsh shadows on your face. Do not wear glasses if you are applying for a US Visa.
Ready for Printing
The tool generates a high-resolution 300 DPI version of your cropped image. You can take this digital file to a local print shop and print it on standard 4x6 photo paper for a fraction of the cost a studio would charge.
