Resize a photo to passport size

Most countries' passport and visa forms want a 35 × 45 mm photo, which at the standard 300 dpi print resolution works out to exactly 413 × 531 pixels. Get the pixels right and the photo prints at the legal physical size.

This page opens the resizer preset to those dimensions. Cover mode center-crops your photo to fill the frame; since this is usually an ID photo of a face, doing it locally instead of uploading it somewhere is the sensible default.

How it works

  1. Select an image to see its current dimensions.

  2. Enter a width/height or percentage, or pick a platform preset (each shows its exact pixels).

  3. Choose fit behaviour: contain, cover (center-crop), or stretch.

  4. Preview the resulting dimensions, then export.

What the tool does

  • Resize by exact pixels, percentage, or preset
  • Contain, cover, and explicit stretch modes
  • Presets for common social and document sizes, labelled with exact dimensions
  • High-quality multi-step downscaling for sharp results
  • Upscale warning before enlarging beyond the source resolution

How the result is verified

The exported image is re-decoded and its pixel dimensions are compared to your requested dimensions before download is offered.

Frequently asked questions

Why 413 × 531 pixels exactly?

That's 35 × 45 mm at 300 dots per inch, the print resolution most photo services and government portals assume. Supply those pixels and no resampling happens at print time.

Will this pass the photo checker on a government site?

The dimensions will. Requirements about background, glasses, and head size are your job, and no online resizer can honestly promise those for you.
