Passport Photo Resizer

Passport and visa photos are specified in millimetres, not pixels, so the practical job is to crop your photo to the right aspect ratio and export it at a print-safe pixel size. The presets below cover the two dominant standards — the 2×2 inch square used by the US and India, and the 35×45 mm portrait used across the UK, the Schengen area and much of Asia — at 300 dpi, which is what photo labs and online applications expect. This is a cropping and sizing tool: it will not judge whether your background, expression or head position meet a particular country's rules, so check the official guidance before you submit. Passport photo requirements can vary by country, authority, and application. Always verify the current requirements with the relevant authority before submitting your photo.

Accepts JPG, PNG or WEBP · No fixed size limit — we adapt to what your device can handle. Very large files may take longer or show a warning.

When you need this

  • Preparing a 2×2 inch photo for a US passport or visa application
  • Producing a 35×45 mm photo for a UK, Schengen or Indian application
  • Re-cropping a studio photo that came back at the wrong ratio

How to use it

  1. 1Upload the photo you want to use — a straight-on headshot against a plain background works best.
  2. 2Pick the standard your application asks for. The preset sets the exact pixel dimensions for a 300 dpi print.
  3. 3Choose Crop to fill so the frame is filled edge to edge, then run the tool.
  4. 4Check the dimensions in the result panel and download. If a KB limit also applies, follow up with the Document Scan Compressor or Compress Image to 100KB.

Frequently asked questions

Which preset matches 35×45 mm?

35×45 mm at 300 dpi is 413×531 pixels, which is the second preset. If your application specifically asks for 600 dpi, use the 827×1063 preset instead — the aspect ratio is identical, there is simply more detail.

Why 600×600 for a 2×2 inch photo?

2 inches at 300 dpi is 600 pixels, and most US-style applications ask for a square image between 600×600 and 1200×1200. 600×600 sits safely inside that range and keeps the file small.

Does the tool check that my photo meets the official rules?

No, and no honest tool should claim to. It handles dimensions and cropping accurately; head size, background colour, lighting and expression are still your responsibility to verify against the issuing authority's guidance.

Can I get the file under a KB limit too?

Yes — download the correctly-sized photo here, then run it through the target-size tools. Because the image is already small in pixel terms, hitting 100 KB or even 50 KB is usually easy without visible damage.

Is my document or ID photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is decoded and re-drawn entirely inside your browser with the Canvas API. Nothing is sent to a server, nothing is stored, and closing the tab discards everything.
