Frequently asked questions
What US passport photo size does this tool output?
This tool outputs the standard US passport photo at 2x2 inches (600x600 pixels at 300 DPI). This size also matches Canada's requirements and is the most common format accepted by the US Department of State for passport and visa applications.
Does this tool support UK, Schengen, and other non-US passport photo sizes?
Yes. The tool includes country presets for the United Kingdom (35x45 mm), Schengen visa (35x45 mm), Australia (35x45 mm), India (51x51 mm), and UAE visa (40x60 mm), among others. Select your country from the dropdown and the correct dimensions are applied automatically.
Can I use a smartphone selfie as the source photo for my passport photo?
You can upload a smartphone photo, but the source image should be sharp, well-lit, and taken against a plain light background. A blurry or low-resolution selfie may still be rejected by official agencies even if the dimensions are correct. Aim for at least 600x600 pixels in the original photo.
How do I make sure my passport photo meets the head-size percentage rule?
Most governments require the head to occupy 70–80% of the photo frame. This tool resizes to the correct pixel dimensions, but you should manually crop or reframe your photo so the head is properly centered and fills the required portion of the frame before downloading.
Is there a maximum file size limit for passport photos submitted online?
Online passport portals typically require JPEG files under 240KB or 500KB. This tool lets you choose the output format and apply compression to bring file sizes within portal limits. Always verify the exact file size requirement on your country's official application portal.
Does this tool produce print-ready dimensions?
The output matches the width, height and DPI required for the country you pick. No images are sent to any server, which means your photo stays completely private and the tool continues to work without a persistent internet connection once the page is fully loaded.
