- Download and print — Print on glossy photo paper at 300 DPI for studio-quality results.
Tips for Taking a Good Passport Photo at Home
Lighting: Stand facing a window during daytime. Natural light from the front eliminates harsh shadows on your face. Avoid direct sunlight which causes squinting.
Background: Stand in front of a plain white or light-coloured wall. If you do not have one, our tool can remove the background automatically and replace it with white.
Expression: Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed. Both eyes should be open and clearly visible. Remove glasses if possible.
Camera position: Hold the camera at eye level, about 1-1.5 meters away. Use the rear camera of your phone for better quality, and ask someone to take the photo for you.
Clothing: Wear dark-coloured clothing that contrasts with the white background. Avoid white shirts as they blend into the background.
How to Print Passport Photos at Home
After creating your photos with our tool, you get a print-ready sheet with multiple photos arranged on it. Here is how to print them:
Paper: Use 4x6 inch glossy photo paper. This is the most common size and is available at any stationery shop. One sheet fits 8 passport size photos.
Printer settings: Set quality to "Best" or "High Quality" and paper type to "Glossy Photo Paper". Make sure the print size is set to "Actual Size" and not "Fit to Page".
Cutting: After printing, use a paper cutter or sharp scissors to cut individual photos. A metal ruler and craft knife give the cleanest edges.
Cost Comparison
A studio charges around 30-80 rupees for a set of passport photos. Printing at home costs roughly 5-8 rupees per sheet of photo paper, giving you 8 photos. Over multiple uses, the savings add up significantly — especially for CSC operators who handle photo requirements regularly.
