No white sheet pinned to the wall. Open the photo, wait a few seconds, and pick the colour the country asks for — white for most, light grey or blue where it is allowed.

The table
Check the official page before you print. Every size below links to the government source for that country, because requirements change and the photo-tool blogs that repeat them do not. Where sources disagree — India's digital upload is the common one — we say so rather than pick whichever number looks tidiest.
| Country | Printed size | At 300 DPI | Notes | Official page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| India | 35 × 45 mm |
413 × 531 px |
For the online upload, 630 × 810 px under 250 KB is widely used. Sources disagree — confirm on Passport Seva. |

The pixel column is simply the printed size at 300 dots per inch, which is what a photo printer wants. A portal that asks for its own pixel size, like the UK's 600 × 750, is listed in the notes — those two numbers answer different questions, and mixing them up is the usual reason a photo is rejected.
If you print these for a living
No white sheet pinned to the wall. Open the photo, wait a few seconds, and pick the colour the country asks for — white for most, light grey or blue where it is allowed.
Set how many copies and how many columns, choose the paper, and print. Several customers can share one sheet, which is where the paper money is saved.
It runs on your own Windows PC and works offline after the first run, so a customer's photograph never leaves the counter. Free, with no trial and no watermark.

Questions
There is no single world standard. 35 × 45 mm is the most common size, used by India, the United Kingdom and the Schengen countries among many others. The United States is the notable exception at 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm), and Canada is larger again at 50 × 70 mm.
413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI, which is the resolution a photo printer expects. At 600 DPI it is 827 × 1063 pixels. If a website asks for a pixel size of its own, use that number instead — it is answering a different question from the printed size.
35 × 45 mm printed. For the online application the figure usually quoted is 630 × 810 pixels under 250 KB on a plain white background, but sources disagree on this, so check the Passport Seva portal before uploading.
Yes, if you follow the rules the country sets: a plain background, even lighting with no shadow on the face or behind it, a neutral expression, eyes open and no glare on glasses. Easy Studio replaces the background for you and lays the copies out on one sheet, but it cannot fix a photo taken in poor light.
Plain white for most countries, including India, the United States and the United Kingdom. A few accept light grey or off-white. Never a pattern, a doorway or furniture behind the head.
Eight at 35 × 45 mm, or six at 2 × 2 inches, with a little room for cutting. Easy Studio lets you set the copies and the columns yourself, so you can fill the sheet rather than waste half of it.
Yes. There is no trial that expires, no watermark on your prints and no feature held back for a paid version. It is made by Team Astha, a computer shop in Raninagar, Murshidabad, that uses it at its own counter.
