Making a passport photo in Photoshop can be done in a few simple steps. To start, open Photoshop and create a new document. Next, select the Rectangular Marquee tool (M) and draw a rectangle around your head, leaving a bit of room around the edges. Next, select the Ellipse tool (L) and draw an elliptical shape around your head. Make sure the “Align to Path” checkbox is enabled, and then click and drag the corners of the ellipse around your head to adjust the size and shape. Finally, use the Text tool (T) to write your name in the center of the ellipse.

PRO TIP: This is a Photoshop tutorial for making a 2×2 passport photo. Please be aware that passport photos must meet specific requirements, so please make sure you are familiar with the requirements before attempting this tutorial.

Once you’re finished, click OK to close the Ellipse tool. Next, use the Gradient tool (G) to fill the ellipse with a light blue gradient. Finally, use the Eraser tool (E) to erase any unwanted parts of the gradient. Your finished passport photo should look something like the image below.
