About the 35x45 mm photo size

35×45 mm (3.5 × 4.5 cm) is the most widely used passport photo size in the world. It is required for UK paper passport applications, Schengen visas, and the passports and ID cards of most European countries — Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and others — as well as many countries across Asia and Africa. In pixels it is 413 × 531 at the standard print resolution of 300 DPI; this tool writes the DPI into the JPG so photo kiosks print it at the true 3.5 × 4.5 cm without guessing.

One trap catches many applicants: the UK online passport application does not want a 35×45 print file — it wants a digital photo of at least 900 × 1200 pixels (the same 35:45 proportions at higher resolution). Pick the right option above for your case. As with all passport photos: plain light background, neutral expression, face centered, no filters — the face should fill roughly 70–80% of the height. The crop here stays centered; step back from the camera so your head and shoulders fit the frame with room to spare.

Applying for a US visa or passport instead? That uses a different size — resize photo to 2x2 inches or the 600x600 px digital version. File too big for a portal? Compress photo to 50 KB.

A plain light background — white, off-white or light grey depending on the country. The tool fills transparent areas with white but does not remove a colored background: take the photo against a plain light wall.
