How to Create a Passport Photo

1

Select your country preset

Choose from US, UK, EU, India, or Canada presets. Each preset uses the exact pixel dimensions at 300 DPI required by that country’s passport authorities.

2

Upload your photo

Drag and drop a recent passport-style photo. For best results, use a photo with a plain light background, facing forward with a neutral expression and both eyes open.

3

Resize to official dimensions

Click Resize and your photo is automatically adjusted to the exact pixel dimensions required. The aspect ratio is locked to maintain proper proportions.

4

Download and print

Save the resized photo and print it at a photo kiosk or upload it to your passport application. The pixel dimensions at 300 DPI ensure correct printed size.

Passport Photo Size Standards

Passport photo requirements vary by country and must meet strict specifications for size, background color, and composition. Submitting incorrectly sized photos is one of the most common reasons for passport application delays. Our passport photo resizer provides exact pixel dimensions at 300 DPI for each country’s requirements, so your photo will print at precisely the right physical size. Whether you need a US passport photo at 2×2 inches (51×51mm), a UK passport photo at 35×45mm, or any other international size, our tool handles the conversion automatically in your browser.
