Take a Malaysian passport photo at home

How to create your photo

1. Take a recent, clear photo. Stand 1.2 m (4 ft) from a plain wall in soft, even daylight. Face the camera with a neutral expression, eyes open, and remove glasses, hats, or filters.
2. Open the Malaysian passport photo maker online tool. Open the upload form on this page and select your photo from your phone or computer. Our tool measures face geometry against the official Malaysian passport photo maker online template.
3. Auto-crop and clean the background. We crop the head to 35 mm × 50 mm with biometric framing and replace the background with a white fill if required.
4. Download the print-ready file or 4×6 sheet. Download a 413 × 591 px JPEG for online submissions, or a 4x6 sheet with 8 photos to print at home or a pharmacy.

Automatic crop to 35×50 mm for upload or print.
