Resize photo to 35x45 mm

At 300 DPI, 35 × 45 mm is 413 × 531 pixels; at 600 DPI it is 827 × 1063 pixels. In other units that is 3.5 × 4.5 cm or 1.38 × 1.77 inches. The downloaded JPG carries its DPI, so it prints at the true size from a computer at 100 % scale.

Printed photos for a paper form are 45 mm high by 35 mm wide, with the head 29–34 mm from chin to crown: 2 identical copies, printed to a professional standard and taken in the last month, which GOV.UK says must not be cut down from a larger picture or altered by computer software, so get them from a photo booth or shop. For the online application you need a digital photo of at least 600 × 750 pixels and 50 KB–10 MB, which you must not crop — GOV.UK crops it for you. To make a UK passport photo online free, apply online and pick “UK online application”: it keeps the photo uncropped and checks the limits.

For the file, yes. Pick “UK online application” and the tool keeps your photo uncropped and checks what GOV.UK asks of a digital photo: at least 600 pixels wide and 750 pixels tall, and 50 KB to 10 MB. It does not judge the face, background, expression or glasses; GOV.UK checks those when you upload, so a British passport photo online free of file errors still has to follow the photo rules on GOV.UK.

You need a digital photo of your face: in the UK ETA app your phone’s camera scans your passport and your face, and online you need a photo of the passport and one of the face of the person applying, following the rules for digital photos of faces. Those UK ETA photo requirements come from UKVI’s digital-photo rules: a UK ETA photo size of at least 600 pixels wide and 750 pixels tall, at least 50 KB and no more than 6 MB, a jpg or jpeg, vertically orientated, not altered by computer software, showing your head, shoulders and upper body against a plain light-coloured background, with no glasses unless you have to wear them (then not sunglasses or tinted, with no frames, glare, reflection or shadow over the eyes). Pick “UK ETA and visa applications” here: it keeps the photo uncropped, saves it as a jpg and checks the 600 × 750 px minimum and the 50 KB–6 MB window (the “UK online application” option allows the passport’s 10 MB, too much for an ETA); if your original phone photo is already within the rules, upload the original.

35 × 45 mm, usually with the head 32–36 mm from chin to crown (70–80 % of the photo height), a neutral expression and a plain light background. The EU itself only asks for a photo that meets ICAO standards, and each country adds its own rules: the Netherlands, for example, wants a visa photo that meets Dutch requirements (head 26–30 mm), and takes the photo itself if you apply through its visa service provider. Check the checklist of the country you apply to; the Schengen preset here gives 413 × 531 px at 300 DPI with guide lines for the 32–36 mm head.

Schengen visa applications, UK paper passport forms, and the passports and ID cards of most EU countries — Italy, Poland and the Netherlands among them — plus many countries in Asia and Africa. Spain uses 26 × 32 mm (width × height) instead, Germany (since May 2025) takes passport, ID and residence-permit photos only digitally, from the office or a registered photographer, and France wants passport and ID photos from an approved photographer or booth, so a home-made print is refused there. Ireland’s paper application takes prints from 35 × 45 mm up to 38 × 50 mm and its online application a digital photo (Irish passport photo online), Hong Kong uses 40 × 50 mm (HK passport photo), New Zealand’s online application takes a digital 3:4 photo (NZ passport photo online), and Singapore’s ICA gives its e-Services size in pixels, 400 × 514.

400 × 514 pixels — the ICA passport photo size for uploads: ICA’s photo guidelines say “The dimension is 400X514 pixels for upload of photos via e-Services”, as a jpg, jpeg, heic, heif or png file with a maximum size of 8 MB. Pick “Singapore ICA e-Services” and the tool crops the photo to exactly 400 × 514 px and saves a JPG under 8 MB on your device. The file carries 290 DPI, at which 400 × 514 px measures 35 × 45 mm, but the ICA page gives no millimetre size for a printed photo, so check that with ICA before you print.

Yes, but ask someone to take it with your phone camera: ICA does not recommend a selfie, because the result is usually not ideal and will delay your application. ICA recommends mobile apps designed for passport or identity card photos, and says you can also use the image editing software in your computer to resize the digital photograph — which is what this tool does — but the photograph must not be altered or enhanced in any way, which ICA says includes the modification of facial features and the usage of photo editing software. Take it against a white background with shoulders and hair fully visible, a neutral expression and the mouth closed, within the last 3 months, then crop it here to 400 × 514 px.

Download the print sheet: one 4 × 6 in photo holding 8 copies of your 35 × 45 mm photo, with grey cut lines. Order it as a normal 4 × 6 print at 100 % (actual size), with no fit, fill or borderless crop, then cut along the lines. A single JPG sent to a photo lab is scaled to fill the paper, so it will not come out at 35 × 45 mm.

No. The photo is cropped and resized entirely inside your browser. It never leaves your device and nothing is stored.

A plain light one, but the allowed colours differ: UK printed photos need cream or light grey, UK online photos any plain light colour, and France rules out white while Poland and Singapore’s ICA ask for it. The tool fills transparent areas with white but does not replace a coloured background, so take the photo against a plain light wall in the colour your document allows.
