When it comes to passport-size photos, there are a few things you need to know.

The size of a passport photo is 2 inches by 2 inches. However, there are some who require the size to have an aspect ratio of 3.5 by 4.5, meaning that the width is 3.5 cm and the height is 4.5 cm. The file size of a passport photo should be around 240KB depending on its quality.

Now that you know the basics of a passport photo, let’s take a closer look at how to create one in Photoshop.

The first thing you need to do is open Photoshop and import your passport photo.

Then, go to the Image menu and select Image Size.

In the Image Size window, unlink the Width and Height values by clicking on the chain icon to disable the Aspect Ratio Constraints.

Next is to set the Width to 3.5 centimeters and the Height to 4.5 centimeters. You can also use 2 inches by 2 inches depending on what is required. Then, click on the OK button.

NOTE: Keep in mind that the measurement units should also be changed accordingly.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that the size of a passport photo in Photoshop can vary depending on the country that issued the passport. Always check the requirements of the country that issued the passport before attempting to resize a passport photo in Photoshop.

Once you have your photos resized, go to the File menu and choose “Save As.”

In the Save As window, choose JPEG from the drop-down menu and click on the “Save” button.

And there you have it! You should now have a passport-size photo that is ready to be printed.
