Resize a Passport Photo
Size a photo to official passport and visa dimensions for any country.
How to use the Passport Photo Resizer
Upload your photo
Use a head-and-shoulders shot against a plain, light background, facing the camera squarely.
Choose the specification
Pick your country's photo size and a print resolution. 300 DPI suits printing; 200 DPI helps when a portal caps the file size.
Set a size limit if needed
Enter a maximum KB if the form requires one, then download. The pixel dimensions stay exact while the file is compressed to fit.
About the Passport Photo Resizer
Passport and visa photo requirements are published in millimetres, which is not a unit any image editor works in. Converting 35x45mm into pixels requires a print resolution, and getting that conversion wrong is why photos come back rejected as the wrong size even though they look right on screen. This tool does the conversion for you: pick the country and the DPI, and it produces an image with exactly the right pixel dimensions for that physical size.
The presets cover the sizes most often asked for — India's 35x45mm for passports and 25x35mm for PAN and voter documents, the US 2x2 inch square, the Schengen and UK 35x45mm, Canada's 50x70mm, China's 33x48mm for visas, and Australian and Japanese standards. 300 DPI is the right choice for anything being printed; 200 DPI is worth trying when an online form has a tight file size limit, because it gives the encoder far fewer pixels to fit.
That file size limit is handled here too. Many application portals cap uploads between 20 and 100KB, so you can set a target in KB and the tool compresses to fit it without changing the pixel dimensions the specification requires. One honest limitation: this sets dimensions and file size. It does not judge pose, expression, lighting, background or head-height ratios, and those rules are strict — check your photo against the issuing authority's own guidance before submitting. Nothing is uploaded, which matters for a photo destined for an identity document.
Frequently asked questions
- What size is a passport photo in pixels?
- It depends on the print resolution. A 35x45mm photo is 413x531 pixels at 300 DPI and 276x354 at 200 DPI. This tool calculates it for you from the country and DPI you pick.
- What is the standard passport photo size?
- 35x45mm covers India, the UK, Schengen countries, Australia and Japan. The US uses a 2x2 inch square, Canada 50x70mm and Chinese visas 33x48mm.
- Does this make my photo compliant?
- It gets the dimensions and file size right. It does not check pose, expression, lighting, background or head height — verify those against the issuing authority's guidance before you submit.
