Passport Photo Maker
ID photos at the exact size your country asks for, with a print sheet.
Comment utiliser Passport Photo Maker
Add a photo taken against a plain background, face centred, shoulders visible.
Pick your country's size — 35 × 45 mm for the EU, UK and India, 2 × 2 in for the USA, 3 × 4 cm for Brazil — or type a custom size in millimetres.
Choose a print sheet (10 × 15 cm gives you four to eight copies on one standard print) or a single photo for an online form.
Check the live preview and download the JPG at 300 dpi.
Passport photo sizes by country
There is no single passport photo size — there are about a dozen, and the difference between 35 × 45 mm and 2 × 2 inches is enough to get an application bounced. The tool bundles the common ones so you pick a country rather than look up numbers: 35 × 45 mm for Schengen countries, the UK, Ireland, India, Pakistan, Australia and the Brazilian passport; 2 × 2 in for the United States (passport, visa, green card) and for the Indian OCI card; 3 × 4 cm for Brazilian RG, CNH and civil-service exams; 33 × 48 mm for China; 50 × 70 mm for Canada; 40 × 60 mm for the Argentine DNI.
If your document is not in the list, the custom option takes any size in millimetres. Government sites always state the size in millimetres or inches, never in pixels, which is exactly why a pixel-based resizer is the wrong tool for this job.
- 35 × 45 mm — EU / Schengen, UK, India, Australia, Brazil passport, Japan
- 2 × 2 in (51 × 51 mm) — USA, India OCI
- 3 × 4 cm — Brazil (RG, CNH, concursos), Mexico, Poland
- 5 × 7 cm — Canada, some Brazilian forms
- 33 × 48 mm — China; 40 × 60 mm — Argentina, Chile
Millimetres, dpi and pixels: how the numbers connect
A print size only becomes a pixel size once you fix the resolution. Photo labs and kiosks print at 300 dots per inch, so a 35 × 45 mm photo needs 413 × 531 pixels; at 600 dpi, which some labs accept for sharper output, it needs 827 × 1063. The tool does the arithmetic (millimetres ÷ 25.4 × dpi) and shows the resulting pixel size, so what you download is what the lab expects.
Online applications work the other way round: they state a minimum in pixels and a maximum file size in kilobytes. The 150 dpi setting produces a small JPG that still exceeds the usual 600 × 600 px minimum for a 2 × 2 in photo, and if the portal caps the size at 100 or 240 KB, the JPG compressor linked below the tool will hit the number exactly.
Printing four (or eight) photos on one 10 × 15 print
Nobody prints a single 35 × 45 mm photo. The standard trick — the one photo shops charge for — is to tile several copies on one 10 × 15 cm print, the cheapest format at any kiosk, and cut them out. The print-sheet option does that: it fits as many copies as the sheet allows with a 2 mm gap, centres the grid so the kiosk's border crop does not eat the first row, and draws faint cutting lines. Eight 35 × 45 photos fit on a 10 × 15 print; on A4 you get over thirty.
Order the sheet as an ordinary 10 × 15 print — no borders, no auto-enhance — and cut along the lines with a ruler and a craft knife rather than scissors. That gets you a stack of compliant photos for the price of one print.
Getting a photo that will be accepted
Sizing is the easy part; the rules that get photos rejected are about content. Face the camera squarely with a neutral expression and mouth closed, eyes open and visible, no glasses if the rules say so (the USA and UK now refuse them), no hat, no shadows on the face or the wall. Use a plain white or light grey background, have someone take the photo from about 1.5 m away at eye level so the face is not distorted, and leave room above the head — the tool crops to the frame, so a photo taken too tight cannot be fixed afterwards.
Most countries also specify the head height within the frame, typically 70–80 % of the photo for 35 × 45 mm formats. Use the Fill & crop mode, then compare the preview against your country's diagram: if the head is too small, crop the original tighter first with the crop tool and run it again.
Why this runs in your browser
Every step runs inside your browser, using the WebAssembly and Canvas APIs your device already ships with. No file is uploaded, no copy is kept, and nothing sits in a queue on a server waiting to be deleted — which is also why the tool keeps working with the network disconnected.
An ID photo is the one image you should never upload to a site that keeps copies: it is a biometric identifier tied to a real document. Here the file is read, resized and tiled by your own device, with nothing sent anywhere — which is also why the tool keeps working if you switch off the connection.
Questions fréquentes
What size is a passport photo?
It depends on the country. Most of Europe, the UK, India and Australia use 35 × 45 mm; the USA uses 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm); Brazil uses 3 × 4 cm for most documents and 5 × 7 cm for some; China uses 33 × 48 mm and Japan 35 × 45 mm. All of these are presets in the tool.
How many pixels is a 35 × 45 mm photo?
At 300 dpi, 35 × 45 mm is 413 × 531 pixels; at 600 dpi it is 827 × 1063. The tool shows the pixel size under the settings as you change size and resolution.
Can I print several passport photos on one 10 × 15 print?
Yes. Choose the 10 × 15 cm sheet and the tool tiles as many copies as fit with a 2 mm cutting gap — typically eight 35 × 45 photos or nine 3 × 4 cm photos. Print it at any photo kiosk or lab as a normal 10 × 15 print and cut along the lines.
Does it check the background and head position?
No. It sizes and crops the photo you give it; it does not remove the background or measure the head. Take the photo against a plain light wall, keep your head straight and let the tool centre-crop it — then compare the result with your country's diagram before you submit.
Is the photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The photo is resized and tiled in your browser and never leaves your device, which matters more for an ID photo than for almost anything else you would put through an online tool.
Which file format do I need?
JPG for nearly every online application and for every photo lab. Some government portals limit the file size (often 100–500 KB); the 150 dpi option produces a small JPG that still meets the pixel minimums they set.
