The worldwide 35 × 45 mm size
35 × 45 mm (3.5 × 4.5 cm) is the most widely used passport and visa photo size on earth — India, the UK, the Schengen area, Australia, and dozens of other countries use it. At 300 DPI it is about 413 × 531 pixels.
If your country uses 35 × 45 mm but isn't in the preset list, this is the page to use. Upload your photo, fit your head inside the guide, choose your background colour, and download the exact-size photo or a printable sheet of copies.
How to make a 35 × 45 mm photo
- Upload your photo. A clear, front-facing photo on a plain wall works best.
- 35 × 45 mm is ready. The size is set; pick the background colour your document needs.
- Fit your head. Zoom and drag so your head fills the guide between the crown and chin lines.
- Download or print a sheet. Save the photo, or tile copies onto a 4 × 6 inch sheet.
Check your country's head-height rule
Most 35 × 45 mm specs want the head 32–36 mm tall (about 70–80% of the frame), but a few differ. The guide is set to a typical value; if your authority lists an exact head height, adjust the zoom until your chin-to-crown matches it.

35 × 45 mm photo rules & notes
- 35 × 45 mm (3.5 × 4.5 cm) is the most widely used passport and visa photo size in the world — 413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI — and is the standard for India, the UK, the Schengen area, Australia, much of Europe, and many more.
- Background colour is the main thing that varies at this size: most countries want plain white, while a few (such as the UK and some Schengen consulates) ask for light grey, so set the background to match your destination.
- Because so many countries share this size with slightly different head-height and background rules, always confirm the exact requirement on the official portal of the country you are applying to.
