Passport Photos – Fast, Easy, and Ready for Travel
Need a passport photo that passes every check? You don’t have to hunt down a studio or spend a fortune. With the right size, lighting, and a few simple tricks, you can create an approved picture at home or drop it off at our Mumbai Digital Print & Photo Services.
In India the standard passport photo is 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm) with a plain white background, a neutral expression, and no visible accessories. The photo must show your full face, shoulders, and a clear view of both ears. Anything else – shadows, hats, heavy makeup – can lead to rejection.
How to Make a Perfect Passport Photo at Home
Grab a smartphone with a decent camera and follow these steps. First, set up a white wall or a plain sheet of paper. Make sure the lighting is even; natural daylight from a window works best. Avoid harsh shadows by standing a few feet away from the wall.
Dress in a solid‑color top – dark blue, black, or white work well. Skip busy patterns and bright jewelry. If you’re wondering about earrings, the latest regulations allow small studs but no large hoops or dangling pieces.
Position the camera at eye level. Keep your head centered and leave a little space above the crown. Hold a neutral expression – eyes open, mouth closed, no smile.
Take several shots, then use a free app to crop to the exact 2 × 2 inch dimensions. Apps like Passport Photo Maker or online tools let you adjust size, remove background, and preview the final image. Save the file in JPEG format with a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
If you’re not comfortable editing, send the raw photo to us. We’ll resize, clean the background, and print it on high‑quality glossy paper that meets all embassy standards.
