Print Passport Size Photos Online Free

Monday, 08 December 2008 16:05 Hiren Pathak

Digital cameras are now a household device and digital camera penetration is on the rise. America, Japan, Europe and now Asia are the biggest market for digital cameras. Therefore, anyone can now take pictures and get its prints without any professional help. However, when it comes to Passport size photos, we tend to go with some professional photographer, just to make sure that we do not screw up the photo and eventually delay our legal/official process/paperwork, visa processing, passport process etc.

I am in the process of renewing my passport and I was looking for any online service that can help me create my passport photos online. That is when I found out this website called ePassportPhoto.com.

The website allows you to create free online passport photographs for more than 60 countries. You first select the country, and then upload your digital photograph. Once the photo uploads, you can then crop the portion of your photo to fit in the passport size format. Once the cropping is done, ePassportPhoto.com will generate a photo sheet that you can print it at your home color printer or take it to the nearest print shop.

If you want to validate your passport photo for darkness/over-expose/correctness, you can go to Passport photo validator and validate it before you print the photo.

Updates: I tried this service to print out my passport photos for my Indian Passport renewal and I thought I had to print it out on A4 size but I was wrong. Actually what you get from this website is a printable size for 4x6 print a

So lesson learned. I know they also mention it on the site but I missed it.

You can create valid passport photos with www.idphoto4you.com website.
It uses face detection to set size and position of head.
It knows numerous print sizes.
It is free.
Built-in standards for 65 countries.

I suggest use IrfanView or another free photo handler software to print the downloaded photo because MS print softwares always resize photos.

@The Dude,
I am pretty sure you will find those A4 size photo sheets at printing shops. I think once you download these passport photo card's soft copy, you can get its prints at one of those photo print shops.

Nice idea..customizing the best of pics and saving it as passport photograph :) . But to print it on photograph cards, I need to have that card material right, I dont think printing shops have that too..is there a solution for this?
