Fix your photo right in the browser

Most passport photo rejections happen because of small fixable issues: the crop is slightly off, the background is shadowed or colored, or the head size is wrong. This editor is built to fix exactly those problems — upload your photo, apply the corrections, and download a file that matches official size specifications.

35x45mm Output Size and 630x810px Digital Export

After editing, your photo must land on the official numbers: 35mm width and 45mm height for print, 630x810px for digital upload on this site. The editor locks the crop to this portrait ratio so print and upload stay consistent.

Change the Background to White (and What Not to Fix)

The editor can replace a busy or shadowed background with clean white. But it cannot fix everything: filters, heavy retouching, tilted heads, or cropped shoulders are rejection reasons no editor should hide. Fix the setup, not the face.

  • Use a recent photo taken within the last 6 months.
  • Look directly at the camera with eyes open and a neutral expression.
  • Keep the background plain white or very light, without patterns.
  • Avoid caps, sunglasses, beauty filters, and heavy retouching.

A4 Sheet for Printing Your Edited Photos

Once your photo is fixed, arrange multiple copies on A4 or 4R paper with cutting guides. For accurate print size, print at 100% scale and disable fit-to-page.

Print tip: Keep printer scale at 100%. Turn off fit to page, shrink to printable area, or automatic borderless scaling.

How to Edit a Passport Photo Online

1

Upload the photo you already have

Any recent JPG or PNG works — a studio shot or a home photo with even lighting. A plain wall behind you makes background cleanup easier.

2

Fix crop, head size, and background

Align the face to the 35x45mm guide, correct the head-to-frame ratio, and change the background to clean white where needed.

3

Download the fixed photo or print sheet

Export a single compliant file for online forms, or arrange copies on an A4/4R sheet for printing.

Photo Requirements Checklist

  • Use a recent photo taken within the last 6 months.
  • Look directly at the camera with eyes open and a neutral expression.
  • Keep the background plain white or very light, without patterns.
  • Avoid caps, sunglasses, beauty filters, and heavy retouching.
  • Make sure the full head and shoulders are visible before cropping.
  • Check the latest official portal instructions before final submission.

Mistakes That Can Hurt Acceptance

  • Using an old 2x2 inch crop when the form expects 35x45mm.
  • Printing with fit-to-page enabled, which changes the final size.
  • Uploading a blurry or dark mobile photo.
  • Using a colored, textured, or shadowed background.
  • Compressing the file so much that the face loses detail.
  • Submitting without checking the exact document or portal rule.

Passport Photo Editor FAQ

Can I edit my passport photo online for free?

Yes. Upload any recent photo and this editor fixes the three things forms actually check: the 35x45mm crop, the head size and margins, and a clean white background. It is free, needs no signup, and runs entirely in your browser.

Is it allowed to edit a passport photo?

Fixing technical issues is allowed and expected: cropping to 35x45mm, correcting brightness, and replacing a colored background with white. What is not allowed is altering your appearance — skin smoothing filters, changing facial features, or editing over glasses and hairline. Official portals and PSP 2.0 systems can detect facial retouching.

How do I change my photo background to white?

Upload your photo, open the background tool, and the editor replaces the existing background with a plain white one while keeping your face and shoulders intact. This works best when your original photo has even lighting and no harsh shadows behind you.

My photo was rejected by a portal. Can this editor fix it?

Most rejections are technical — wrong pixel size (not exactly 630x810), file size over the limit, off-white background, or wrong head margins. Upload the rejected photo here, fix the specific issue, and re-download. If the rejection was for blurriness or lighting, retake the photo instead.

What file formats can I download after editing?

JPEG/JPG and PNG, plus WEBP if you want a smaller modern format. For online uploads, use JPEG at 630x810px. For printing, generate an A4 or 4R sheet with multiple copies and cutting guides.

Is this an official government website?

No. PassportSizePhoto.in is an independent private utility. Always verify the latest official requirements before submitting your final photo.

Independent utility notice: PassportSizePhoto.in is not affiliated with Passport Seva, MEA, UIDAI, NSDL, or any government authority. This tool helps prepare photos, but final acceptance depends on the relevant official portal or officer.
