What size is a passport photo?
It depends on the country. Official guidance lists 2 × 2 inches for US passports, 35 × 45 mm for the UK, 50 × 70 mm for Canada and 35–40 mm wide by 45–50 mm high for Australia. Pick the country preset and the crop guide uses that size, then check the issuing authority's current rules before you apply.
| Country presets | 33 countries and documents, grouped into 8 size families |
|---|---|
| Physical size to pixels | Millimeters converted at the DPI you choose: 300, 600, 900 or 1,200 for printing, 150 or 300 for uploads |
| Print sheets | 4 × 6 in, 5 × 7 in or A4, saved as JPEG with gaps for cutting |
| Automated photo checks | Face found, one person, sharp at print size, headroom, centering and a plain light background; guidance, not approval |
| Free results | No watermark; with Auto-crop or Check photo guidance on, a free result is web-size, and Premium or a credit keeps full resolution |
| Many photos at once | One preset applied to up to 60 photos on Premium or 200 on Pro, downloaded as one ZIP without per-photo check reports |
Make a passport size photo online: crop, size and print a portrait
This passport photo maker handles the resize and crop for a country or document preset, with a crop guide, optional automated checks and print sheets. It prepares a photo for you to review; it does not approve it. The issuing authority's current rules decide whether a photo is accepted, so compare the result with its instructions before you apply or print.
Make a passport size photo with a country preset
Upload a clear, front-facing portrait, then open the Size tab and choose a Country / document preset. The line under it shows the starting passport picture size and background, and a notice under it reminds you to check the authority's rules, with a link to official guidance where one is listed. Preview crop shows how the photo will be framed. For any other size, use the image resizer.
- Upload a clear, front-facing portrait.
- Pick the Country / document preset on the Size tab.
- Use Preview crop to check the framing.
- Choose Printing or Upload / online form on the Output tab.
- Select See result, then download the photo.
American passport photo dimensions: the 2×2 inch size
The United States preset gives the American passport size photo dimensions of 2×2 inches (51×51 mm). The tool converts that physical size to pixels at the DPI you choose: 600 × 600 pixels at 300 DPI and 1200 × 1200 at 600 DPI, the default for printing. The preset's notice reminds you that the State Department says photos must not be digitally altered, so use it to check size and framing, and follow the official instructions for what you submit.
Passport size photo measurement in mm, cm and pixels
The size depends on the document, so pick the country first. Most presets are 35×45 mm, so a passport size photo in cm is 3.5 × 4.5 for the UK, EU / Schengen, India, Japan and many others. The United States preset is 2×2 inches (51×51 mm), Canada and Brazil use 50×70 mm, and China uses 33×48 mm.
The tool converts that physical size to pixels at the DPI you choose, so the size in pixels changes with it. When no country preset fits, Other sizes lists pixel sizes such as 3.5cm × 4.5cm (132 × 170 pixels), which suits an ID size photo for a screen or an online form.
Passport photo white background: when you can replace it
Replace background is off by default. When you switch it on in the AI tab you can choose White or Off-white, and a plain size also offers Light blue. Some authorities prohibit background replacement or any digital alteration, so use it only when the current document rules allow it. Check photo guidance rates how plain and light the background is, so run that check first.
Print passport photos on a 4x6 sheet or prepare an upload
On the Output tab, Printing keeps full resolution for a sharp print and offers 300, 600, 900 or 1200 DPI, while Upload / online form makes a smaller file with 150 or 300 DPI and a Quality slider. Print sheet tiles several copies on a 4×6 inch, 5×7 inch or A4 sheet saved as a JPG. Use a sheet only when the authority accepts self-prepared prints; Canada and Australia ask for professional prints. If a portal refuses your passport size image for its file size, compress the photo toward a KB limit after you check its pixel size.
Check a passport photo before you submit it
Check photo guidance runs up to 6 automated checks on a country preset: face found, one person, sharp at print size, headroom and margins, face centered, and a plain light background. Each shows as pass, warn or fail. It is guidance, not approval, and it does not fully check expression, glare, eye gaze, permitted editing or the current application rules.
Before you submit or print
- Compare the finished photo with the issuing authority's current instructions for your exact document.
- Use a sharp, evenly lit, front-facing photo with the whole face visible.
- Skip background replacement and filters unless the document rules allow digital editing.
- Do a test print and measure it if the size must be exact.
- Check the portal's own pixel and file-size limits before you upload the finished file.
Before you upload or print the passport photo
When an online form sets a file limit, compress the finished photo toward that size in KB, then confirm the pixel dimensions, since a tight target can also shrink them. If your print shop prefers a document, place the print sheet in a PDF.
