How to Make a Passport Photo at Home (Free, In Your Browser)
Avoid the photo booth: make a compliant passport, visa or ID photo in under a minute — for free.
Passport photo booths are expensive and the results are often unflattering. Professional services charge $10–20. But the actual requirements are just: the right size, the right head position, a plain background, and a clear face.
The free tool
PixelFix Passport Photo Maker covers official sizes for the US, UK, China, the EU/Schengen and more. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing uploaded.
How to make a compliant passport photo
- Open the passport photo maker
- Pick your country's size (US Passport 2×2, China ID, EU 35×45, etc.)
- Upload a clear, face-forward photo
- Use the on-screen guide: align the head so the chin and crown touch the green lines
- Set a plain background (white, blue or red) — most photo specs call for white
- Download at the exact official pixel size, or print a 4×6 sheet with multiple copies
The specs that matter
- Head size — most countries want the face to fill 70–80% of the frame
- Background — plain white is the default for most passports
- Facing forward — no headwear (with religious exceptions), neutral expression
Why do it in the browser?
- Free — the photo booth isn't
- Private — your photo never leaves your device
- Correct sizes — official pixel dimensions, no guesswork
- Retry free — take as many tries as you like
