Online passport and visa forms often want a photo of an exact pixel size and a limited file size. Rules differ for every country and change over time, so always follow the official instructions.
Know what the form wants
- The size in pixels or in millimetres. At 300 DPI, 35 × 45 mm is about 413 × 531 pixels and 2 × 2 inches is 600 × 600 pixels.
- The file type, usually JPG.
- A minimum and maximum file size, for example between 10 KB and 250 KB.
- Background color, head position and expression, which the authority sets.
Resize it
- Open the passport photo page for your size, or the general resize page.
- Add a clear, front-facing photo with a plain light background.
- Drag and zoom so your head and shoulders are centered in the frame.
- Type the file size limit in the Max file size box, and download as JPG.
What this tool does not do
It sets the pixel size and file size. It does not check that your photo meets the official rules about head size, lighting or background. Use the authority's own checker or guidance before you submit.
Tips for a good photo
- Use daylight in front of a plain wall.
- Keep the camera at eye level and look straight at it.
- Avoid shadows on the face and background.
