If you need a passport photo, then you can print them at home easily – all you need is a digital camera and a color printer. You do not need any graphics editing knowledge or photo manipulating software like Adobe Photoshop. Here is how you can print multiple passport size photos :

  1. First of all take your frontal picture with focus on your face. The picture should cover your head, shoulders and your elbows. Most of the countries require a passport size photograph with white background. If you do not have a good quality digital camera, then you can use the camera of your mobile phone. Save this picture to your computer.

By printing your own photographs, you can not only save your time but also your money. If you do not have a printer of your own, then you can ask a friend or use a printer available in your school or office. However, the most important thing is that you use a high quality photo printing paper. You cannot use standard printing paper sheets for printing photographs.
