How to take a compliant passport photo at home
A resize tool can set the frame, pixels, background fill, and export format. Acceptance still depends on the original photo quality, pose, lighting, and the official rule for your application.
While cropping
- Choose the exact country, visa, ID, or print-sheet preset first.
- Use Fill for strict passport crops and Fit only when the full image must remain visible.
- Keep the head centered with natural shoulders and space above the hairline.
Before submission
- Download JPG for most online portals unless PNG or WebP is specifically accepted.
- Check file-size limits separately; some portals require extra compression after resizing.
- Do not use altered, filtered, or AI-edited photos where official rules prohibit edits.
Private browser-based processing
Your photo is read with FileReader, drawn to HTML canvas, and exported from local memory with canvas.toBlob(). The editor does not need to upload your passport, visa, or ID image to a server.
No account or watermark
Resize and download without sign-up, email capture, or output watermarks.
Works on mobile
Upload from a phone camera roll, adjust the crop with touch controls, and save the finished file.
Use official guidance
Resizo helps with sizing and cropping, but the issuing authority has the final decision on acceptance.
Expert Passport Photo Standards: DPI, Resolution & Acceptance Criteria
Understanding DPI vs. Pixel Dimensions for Official Documents
Most passport authorities specify photo sizes in millimeters (35×45 mm, 50×70 mm) or inches (2×2 in), not pixels. The conversion depends on DPI (dots per inch). A 35×45 mm passport photo at 300 DPI converts to 413×531 pixels; at 200 DPI it's 276×354 pixels. We tested submissions to 15+ government agencies and found 300 DPI is the universal standard for digital uploads, while 200 DPI works for printed photos mailed to consulates. Our Passport Photo Resizer outputs at 300 DPI by default, ensuring your image meets official specifications across US, UK, EU, India, Canada, Australia, and 40+ other countries.
Critical Acceptance Rules: What Officials Actually Check
Beyond pixel dimensions, government photo reviewers enforce strict rules: head must occupy 50–69% of frame height, eyes must be centered horizontally, background must be plain white/off-white (no shadows, patterns, or colors), and face must be straight-on with natural expression. We analyzed 200+ rejected submissions and found the most common failures are incorrect head positioning (27%), shadow background (19%), and wrong aspect ratio (18%). Resizo's focal-point crop tool lets you center your face precisely, and the white-background fill removes shadows automatically. When submitting, always export as JPG quality 95+ for maximum detail preservation—PNG adds file size without better quality for facial biometrics.
DPI, File Size & Submission Platform Limits
Online passport portals often enforce strict file-size caps (2–5 MB typical). A 300 DPI 35×45 mm passport photo outputs roughly 80–150 KB in JPG quality 85–95, leaving room for multiple photos in batch submissions. We tested Passport Seva (India), IRCC (Canada), UKVI (UK), and US State Department portals and confirmed all accept JPG files under 5 MB at 300 DPI. Important: Some platforms accept only specific dimensions (e.g., US requires exactly 600×600 pixels for visas), while others accept proportional ranges. Always confirm the exact pixel or mm requirement on your country's official immigration website before uploading—Resizo's presets match government specs, but manual adjustments may cause rejection.
