Passport Photo Sizes by Country
Passport photo requirements vary by country but follow a small set of standard dimensions. Most countries use either 35×45mm or 2×2 inch (51×51mm). For digital submissions, 300 DPI is the standard print quality — which converts to 413×531px for 35×45mm, and 600×600px for 2×2 inch.
| Country / Document | Physical size | Pixels at 300 DPI | Background |
|---|---|---|---|
| US Passport / Visa | 2×2 inch (51×51mm) | 600×600px | Plain white |
| UK Passport | 35×45mm | 413×531px | Light grey / cream |
| Schengen Visa | 35×45mm | 413×531px | Light grey |
| India Passport | 35×45mm | 413×531px | White |
| India PAN / Aadhaar | 25×35mm | 295×413px | White |
| Canada Passport | 50×70mm | 591×827px | Plain white |
| Australia Passport | 35×45mm | 413×531px | Plain light |
| China Visa | 33×48mm | 390×567px | White |
| Japan Passport | 35×45mm | 413×531px | Plain |
| Vietnam Passport | 4×6cm | 473×709px | White / Blue |
All of the above sizes assume 300 DPI — the standard for printed passport photos. Digital portals (DS-160, UKVI, VFS) accept the same pixel dimensions at screen resolution.
How to Resize a Photo for a Passport
Resizing gets the pixel dimensions right. You still need a clear, front-facing photo with the correct background. Follow these steps for an accepted result:
Select your country preset
Choose the country or document type above. The correct pixel dimensions are set automatically — no manual calculation needed.
Upload a clear front-facing photo
Use a recent photo with your face centered and eyes open. Good lighting matters — passport offices reject photos with shadows across the face or a patterned background.
Download and submit
Download the resized JPEG. For digital portals, upload the file directly. For printed applications, print at 300 DPI on matte or semi-gloss paper and trim to size.

5 Common Passport Photo Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Wrong country preset — wrong dimensions
✓ US requires 2×2 inch (600×600px). UK, Schengen, India use 35×45mm (413×531px). Canada uses 50×70mm (591×827px). Always verify the target country before resizing.
❌ Resizing up from a small photo
✓ Enlarging a small image creates a blurry output. Start with a photo of at least 1200×1200px and resize down. Phone cameras produce 12–48MP images — use the original, not a screenshot.
❌ Colored or patterned background
✓ Most countries require a plain white or light grey background. Use our Passport Photo Maker tool to auto-set the correct background color.
❌ Uploading a HEIC file to a government portal
✓ Government portals accept JPEG only. This tool automatically converts HEIC files from iPhone to JPEG during the resize step.
❌ File too large for the portal upload limit
✓ After resizing, use our Compress Image tool to reduce file size. A 600×600px JPEG at quality 85 is typically 60–120KB — within all major portal limits.
