Open Image ResizerFrequently asked questions
What is the standard passport photo size?
35x45mm (3.5x4.5cm) is the standard for most countries: UK, EU, Australia, India, and most of Asia. The US uses 2x2 inches (51x51mm). Always confirm with your specific authority.
What DPI should my passport photo be?
Minimum 300 DPI for printed photos. For digital uploads, 600x600 pixels for 2x2 inch photos, or 413x531 pixels for 35x45mm at 300 DPI.
Why are passport photos so often rejected?
Common reasons: wrong dimensions, face not centered or wrong size within the frame, background not plain white, shadows on face, glasses or hat visible. Resizing fixes the dimension issue — composition and lighting are separate.
Can I make a passport photo from a regular selfie?
Sometimes — if the selfie has a plain background, face is straight-on, no shadows, and good lighting. Crop tight to head/shoulders first, then resize to the target dimension. Many applications now accept smartphone photos that meet these criteria.
