UAE Visa Photo Maker

Make a UAE visa photo at 43 × 55 mm with a white background: the head is sized to the rules and you get a print sheet for 4 × 6 photo paper or A4. Free, no watermark, and your photo never leaves your device.

Right size, every time

Pick the country and document. The head is sized and placed to that photo’s rules, with guide lines to check it.

White or blue background

Replace a plain wall with white, off-white, light grey, blue or red, and fix brightness and contrast.

Print or upload

Download a print sheet for 4 × 6 paper or A4, a single photo at 300 or 600 DPI, or an online photo under the KB limit.

Taking a good passport photo at home

  • • Stand about 1 m in front of a plain white or light wall.
  • • Face a window for soft, even light, with no shadows on the face or wall.
  • • Ask someone else to take it, at eye level, from 1–1.5 m away.
  • • Look straight at the camera, neutral face, mouth closed, eyes open.
  • • Take off glasses and hats (religious head coverings are usually allowed).
  • • Keep your shoulders and the top of your hair in the photo.

About the Passport Photo Maker

Passport Photo Maker turns a photo from your phone into a passport, visa or ID photo at the exact size a country asks for. Pick the document, click the top of the head and the chin, and the photo is scaled, straightened and placed to that size’s head and eye rules, with guide lines and a photo check. You can replace a plain wall with white, blue or another colour, then download a single photo, an online photo under a KB limit, or a print sheet for 4 × 6 photo paper or A4. Everything happens in your browser.

How to use it

  1. 1 Choose what the photo is for, such as Bangladesh passport, India passport, US visa or Schengen visa, then drop in a front-facing photo.
  2. 2 Click the top of the head (the hair) and then the chin. The photo is sized and centred for you; drag, zoom or straighten it if needed, and change the background colour.
  3. 3 Download the print sheet PDF or JPG and print it at actual size, or download a single photo or an online photo for an application form.
