UK Passport Photo Maker (35×45 mm)
Make a UK passport photo at home: light grey or cream background, correct size, printable 6×4 sheet.
In plain words: Take a photo against a plain wall and drop it here. UK passport is pre-selected: the background becomes plain light grey and the photo is framed to 35×45 mm with the right head size. Print the 6×4 sheet cheaply at Boots, Tesco or Asda.
Drag to move · scroll, pinch or use the slider to zoom. Line up the top of the head with the Crown line and the chin with the Chin line.
