A 4x6 passport photo is a common requirement for visas, school certificates, and job applications. With the online passport photo tool, you can crop the frame, align your face, and download a print-ready result.

Size and common uses

A 4x6 photo measures 4 cm wide by 6 cm tall. Some offices ask for a red background, while others prefer blue or white, so check the instructions before printing.

  • Use a sharp portrait with the full face visible.
  • Match the background color to the official guideline.
  • Avoid harsh shadows, hats, and accessories that hide your face.
  • Print at 300 DPI so the image stays crisp.

Tips for a clean result

Face the camera directly, keep a neutral expression, and use even lighting. Download the finished file and keep a digital copy for future applications. Everything runs in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device.

Avoid common mistakes

Photos that are too close, have a patterned background, or show a tilted head are often rejected. Take a few variations at different distances, pick the straightest one, and compare the results before downloading. Avoid heavy digital zoom that makes the face look soft.
