Passport Photo Size Maker

Crop any photo to exact passport, visa, and ID sizes — 35×45 mm, 2×2 in, or stamp size — at 300 DPI, entirely on your device.

How to convert a photo to passport size

Drop a photo onto the panel above, frame the face inside the selection, and press Crop. This page opens with 35 × 45 mm already selected — switch to 2 × 2 in for a US passport or 25 × 35 mm for stamp size.

Framing is the part that gets applications rejected, and the rule is simple: head and shoulders inside the selection, eyes roughly in the upper third, face square to the camera. The selection holds the document's proportions however you drag it, so you cannot produce the wrong shape while concentrating on the face.

The output saves at the document's exact pixel dimensions — 413 × 531 px for 35 × 45 mm at 300 DPI — so there is no arithmetic to do. If the portal also caps file size, compress it to that limit afterwards; 50 KB is the usual figure.

Everything is processed on your device and never uploaded, which is worth insisting on for the one photograph attached by definition to your identity documents.

Pixel figures are what each document's millimetre spec works out to at 300 DPI, which is the resolution portals assume.

If a portal asks for different exact pixels — 200 × 230 px is a common Indian government spec — crop to the nearest preset here, then set the precise dimensions in the Resize tool.

What this tool does not check

This tool guarantees the geometry: exact document proportions and exact output pixels. What it cannot verify are the biometric rules that photo requirements also include — a plain light background, neutral expression, even lighting, no shadows, head occupying roughly 70–80% of the frame height. Those depend on how the photo was taken. Shoot against a plain wall in daylight, face the camera square-on, and the crop from this page will pass.

One thing to genuinely avoid: heavy editing. Passport authorities reject retouched photos, and automated checks are increasingly good at spotting them. Crop and compress — nothing else.

Meeting the form's file rules

Portals usually stack three requirements: a size in mm or inches (this page), exact pixel dimensions (the Resize tool, if they differ from the presets), and a file-size ceiling — 50 KB and 100 KB are the common ones. Do them in that order: crop first, resize if needed, compress last, so the quality search operates on the final image.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a passport photo?

Drop the photo above, keep the 35 × 45 mm preset (or pick your document's size), frame the head and shoulders, and press Crop. The download is at the exact pixel dimensions of the document at 300 DPI — the size portals and print shops expect.

What size is a passport photo?

35 × 45 mm for most of the world — the UK, EU, India, Australia, and the Schengen area all use it. The United States uses 2 × 2 inches. At 300 DPI those come out to 413 × 531 px and 600 × 600 px respectively, which is exactly what this tool saves.

Can I use a phone photo?

Yes — modern phone photos are far higher resolution than a passport photo needs. Have someone photograph you against a plain light wall from about 1.5 metres, then crop here. Avoid selfies: the arm's-length distance distorts facial proportions, which is a common rejection reason.

How do I get it under 50 KB?

Crop here first, then use the compress to 50 KB page — it finds the best quality that fits the budget automatically. Done in that order, the compressed file keeps the exact pixel dimensions the portal checks.

Will authorities accept the photo?

The size and proportions will be exactly right, which is what this tool controls. Acceptance also depends on how the photo was taken — plain background, even light, neutral expression, no glasses glare. Check your authority's photo guidance for those rules; they vary slightly by country.
