UK Passport Photo — Free Online Maker

Official-style requirements we encode

Compliance check is advisory; final acceptance is by the issuing authority.

How it works (3 steps)

1. Photograph: white wall 1m behind you, ceiling light on, no flash, camera at eye level.
2. Upload & align: open the maker (pre-set to UK Passport), drag/pinch to fit the dashed head guides.
3. Download: single 413×531 file + free 4×6″ print sheet, cut along gray lines.

Photo tips that actually matter

• No hat, no hair over eyebrows; remove glasses if possible (no glare).
• No shadow on face or wall — step away from the wall, face the light.
• Plain wall only; busy background? cut it out free first.
• Blurry old scan? preview an upscale before printing.

FAQ

What size is a UK Passport photo?

35×45mm (413×531 pixels at 300 DPI). Our tool crops to exactly this size — just upload and align to the guides.

What head size does a UK Passport photo need?

The head (chin to crown) must measure 29–34mm, which is 64–76% of the photo height. The tool draws this range as a guide you align your head to.

What background color for UK Passport?

Light grey or white background is required. The tool lets you pick any colour and warns if it is off-spec, because a transparent cutout can legitimately be re-backed.

Can I take the photo with my phone?

Yes. Stand 1m from a white wall, use ceiling light (no flash), keep the camera at eye level, neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open. The page checks sharpness before download.

How do I print it?

Download the free 4×6″ sheet and print borderless on 4R photo paper at any print shop, then cut along the gray lines.

Will this photo be accepted?

The tool follows published size/background guidance, but final acceptance is by the issuing authority. Our compliance check is advisory.
