Up to 2 fit on one sheet (1 × 2). 2 placed.

Print at 100% or “actual size”, never “fit to page”, then measure one photo with a ruler.

What this tool does

It crops a portrait you already have to the exact shape and pixel size of a passport, visa or ID photo, and lays out several copies on a sheet of photo paper so you can print them at a print shop or at home and cut them out. Choose a size, drag and zoom the photo inside the frame, and download one photo as PNG or JPG, or the whole sheet as PDF, PNG or JPG.

The photo never leaves your device: it is opened, cropped and saved by your browser. The tool does not change the background, remove shadows or retouch faces. Most authorities forbid edited photos, so start from a photo that already meets the rules (plain light background, even light, neutral expression, both eyes open).

How to use it

  1. Choose a photo. A recent, sharp photo with your head and shoulders and some space around them works best.
  2. Choose the size. The list includes the US passport and visa (2 × 2 in), the UK passport and Schengen visa (35 × 45 mm), the Canadian passport (50 × 70 mm), the Chinese visa (33 × 48 mm), the Vietnamese passport (4 × 6 cm), the Korean passport (3.5 × 4.5 cm), a 3 × 4 cm ID photo, and a custom size in millimetres.
  3. Position the face. Drag the photo, or focus it and use the arrow keys; zoom with the slider or the + and − keys. Where the authority states a head size, two ovals show the smallest and largest allowed head (chin to crown). Put your head between them.
  4. Download. One photo, or a print sheet: pick the paper (10 × 15 cm, 4 × 6 in or A4), the number of copies and the gap, and keep the cut lines on so the photos are easy to trim.

The numbers behind it

A printed photo is measured in millimetres; a file is measured in pixels. The link between them is the resolution. At 300 dots per inch, the usual photo-print resolution, one millimetre is 300 ÷ 25.4 ≈ 11.81 pixels. So:

SizePixels at 300 DPI
2 × 2 in600 × 600
35 × 45 mm413 × 531
33 × 48 mm390 × 567
40 × 60 mm472 × 709
50 × 70 mm591 × 827
30 × 40 mm354 × 472

The tool renders exactly these sizes and writes 300 DPI into the PNG and JPG files, so print software reads the right physical size. The PDF sheet is built at true size: the page is the paper and each photo is placed at its size in millimetres. Print it at 100% or "actual size", never "fit to page", and measure one photo with a ruler before cutting the rest.

On 10 × 15 cm paper, with 3 mm margins and 2 mm gaps, six 35 × 45 mm photos fit (2 × 3), four 4 × 6 cm photos, nine 3 × 4 cm photos, and two 50 × 70 mm photos. Six 2 × 2 in photos fit edge to edge on 4 × 6 in paper. The tool turns the paper sideways when that fits more.

Rules change: check the issuing office

The sizes and head ranges here were checked on 13 October 2026 against the issuing authorities' own pages where possible (the U.S. Department of State, GOV.UK, Canada.ca, the Chinese Visa Application Service Center and a German mission's biometric photo guide). Requirements change, offices add their own rules (background colour, glasses, how recent the photo must be), and some, such as Canada's passport office, do not accept home-printed photos at all. Always check the current requirements of the office that will receive your photo. A size passing this tool does not guarantee that the photo will be accepted.

The article passport and visa photo sizes by country lists the sizes with their sources and the mistakes that get photos rejected. To crop a photo to any other ratio, use the image crop tool; to shrink a photo for an online form with a file size limit, use the image toolkit.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The photo is opened, cropped and saved in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server and nothing is kept after you close the page.

How many pixels is a 35 × 45 mm photo?

413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI: 35 ÷ 25.4 × 300 = 413.4 and 45 ÷ 25.4 × 300 = 531.5, rounded to whole pixels. A US 2 × 2 in photo is 600 × 600.

Can it change my background to white?

No. It only crops and lays out the photo. Many authorities reject edited photos, so take the picture against a plain light wall in even light.

Why are my printed photos the wrong size?

The printer scaled the page. Print the PDF at 100% or actual size, not fit to page, and check one photo with a ruler.

Will the passport office accept the photo?

The tool gets the size right; acceptance also depends on lighting, expression, background, glasses and how recent the photo is. Check the current rules of the issuing office before you print.
