Check the passport photo requirements for your country, or the rules for a visa or ID card, before you take the picture. Each row in the table gives the print size, the digital size or file limit, the head height, the background colour and how recent the photo must be, with a link to the official page it comes from and the date we checked it. Rows the tool supports have a Make this photo link that opens the passport photo maker with that size selected; the photo stays on your device.

Every row comes from an official page; open the link in the Official source column to check it yourself. The verified date is when we last read that page. The issuing authority's latest rules always win, and this table only states the rules; it does not mean a photo will be accepted. “—” means the official text does not state that item. Top margin is the distance from the top of the head to the top edge; eye height is from the eyes to the bottom edge.
Each rule names the official site it was taken from and the date we last read it, so you can open the page and check the wording yourself.
Many documents ask for a printed photo in mm or inches and an online upload in pixels and KB. Where the official page gives both, the table shows both.
Choose a country, a document type (passport, visa, ID card, residence, driving) or search for a size such as 35 × 45.
Make this photo opens the tool below with that document's size, head height and background already set.
Check the size, head height and background the form asks for, so you know what to ask for or what to shoot at home.
Visa photos follow the rules of the country you are visiting, not your own; look up that country's visa row.
Upload forms set pixel sizes and KB limits instead of millimetres. The Digital photo column lists them where they are published.
Filter by country and document type, or type a country or size into Search.
Click Make this photo, then add a clear front-facing photo; JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, TIFF, BMP, or TGA files up to 100MB are accepted.
Check the framing against the guides, then download the single photo or a print sheet for a photo lab.
35 × 45 mm is the most common passport photo size: the UK, Australia, Japan and India's paper application all use it. It is far from universal. The photo for a US passport is square, 2 × 2 inches, Canada asks for 50 × 70 mm, China's passport and visa photos are 33 × 48 mm, and Spain's DNI and passport take 26 × 32 mm. When a form only says "passport size", check which country it comes from; a 3.5 × 4.5 cm photo or a 2x2 photo are the two usual answers.
Head height runs from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head, including hair. Printed photos give it in millimetres or inches: the UK asks for 29 to 34 mm on a 45 mm photo, the US for 1 to 1⅜ inches (25 to 35 mm) on a 2 inch photo. Digital photos often give it as a share of the image height; the US visa photo wants the head at 50 to 69%. The tool draws crown and chin guides at the row's range, and Size check flags a head outside it.
One document can have two sets of rules. A UK passport applied for on paper needs a 35 × 45 mm print, while the online application wants a digital photo at least 600 × 750 pixels. The US visa form DS-160 takes a square photo from 600 × 600 to 1200 × 1200 pixels and no larger than 240 KB. Use the row that matches how you apply, and enter a KB limit in Max file size (KB) when the form sets one.
Some offices take the photo themselves. India's passport booklet says a photograph is not required at a Passport Seva Kendra; you are photographed there, and only applications handed in elsewhere need a pasted 35 × 45 mm print. Rows like this show Taken on site and have no Make this photo link.
Each row is copied from an official government or consulate page, and the Official source column links to it with the date we read it. Rules we could only partly confirm are left out rather than guessed. Rules change, so open the link before you print; the issuing office's current rules always take priority over this table.
It depends on the country. 35 × 45 mm is the most common; the US uses 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm), Canada 50 × 70 mm and China 33 × 48 mm. Filter the table by country to see the exact size.
