How to make passport photos at home
- Stand in front of a plain white wall in daylight, facing a window, and ask someone to take your photo at eye level.
- Open it here, zoom and drag so your face sits inside the oval guide, with a little space above your head.
- Choose the size (3.5 × 4.5 cm is the common Indian size) and the sheet type.
- Download and print the 4×6 sheet at any photo shop, or print the A4 sheet at home on photo paper.
