Passport Photo Resizer — 35x45mm, 2x2 inch and Exam Sizes

35 × 45 mm, which is 413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI. The same size is used for most Indian visa applications and for UK, Schengen and Australian passports. US passports are different: a 2 × 2 inch square, or 51 × 51 mm.

Because the portal validates the uploaded file, not a print. Indian exam sites commonly specify 200 × 230 pixels for a photo and 140 × 60 for a signature, and reject anything else outright. Where an authority publishes pixels, this tool uses that figure exactly rather than converting from millimetres, since the pixel count is what actually gets checked.

Dots per inch, the resolution a physical print is produced at. It matters when the requirement is in millimetres: 35 mm at 300 DPI is 413 pixels, but at 600 DPI it is 827. Most passport authorities expect at least 300 DPI. For a form that specifies pixels, DPI is irrelevant.

Size is only part of most specifications. Authorities also set rules on head position and proportion within the frame, background colour (usually plain white or light grey), expression, glasses, head coverings and lighting. This tool gets the dimensions exactly right; it cannot judge whether your head is correctly positioned. Use the zoom and drag controls to match the head-size guidance in your form.

Set the dimensions here first, download the result, then run it through our image compressor to hit the file-size limit. Doing it in that order matters: cropping first removes data that would otherwise have to survive compression, so the final image holds far more detail at the same file size.

No. The image is read into your browser, cropped and resized on your own device, and the download comes from memory. Nothing is transmitted, so there is no server copy of your face to be stored, logged or leaked.
