How to make a passport photo
- Pick your passport, visa or ID card and the background color it needs.
- Upload a photo taken against a plain wall. The background is replaced automatically.
- Drag and zoom so the top of your head and your chin sit in the green bands and your eyes are on the blue line.
- Download the print sheet and print it at actual size on 4×6 inch photo paper, or download a single photo for an online application.
