Frequently Asked Questions

What size should a passport photo be?

The most common passport photo size internationally is 3.5cm x 4.5cm (35mm x 45mm), used by UK, Pakistan, EU countries, and most of the world. The US requires 2 x 2 inches (51mm x 51mm). Canada uses 50mm x 70mm, while China requires 33mm x 48mm. Our tool has pre-configured templates for all major countries, so just select your country and we'll handle the sizing automatically.

Can I take my own passport photo at home?

Yes! You can take your own passport photo at home and use our tool to format it correctly. Use a smartphone or camera, stand against a plain white wall, ensure good even lighting, maintain a neutral expression, and take the photo from about 4 feet away. Our tool will then crop and resize your photo to meet exact passport requirements. This saves money compared to professional photo services.

What DPI should passport photos be?

Passport photos should be printed at 300 DPI (dots per inch) for optimal quality. This ensures the photo is sharp and clear when printed. Our tool automatically sets your passport photo to 300 DPI, so you don't need to worry about technical settings. The file you download will be ready to print at any photo lab or on your home printer with perfect quality.

Will my passport photo be accepted by the embassy?

Our tool creates passport photos that meet official size and technical requirements for each country. However, acceptance also depends on the quality of your original photo - proper background, lighting, expression, and recent photo (within 6 months). Follow the photography guidelines above, use our tool to size correctly, and your photo should be accepted. Always check your specific embassy's requirements before submission.
