What a good passport photo looks like
- A plain white or light background with no shadows, patterns or objects behind you.
- Your face and top of your shoulders, front-facing, with your head straight and centred.
- A neutral expression with your mouth closed and both eyes open and visible.
- Even lighting on your face, with no glare on your skin or glasses.
- A recent photo that looks like you today, in sharp focus and without filters or editing.
Pixels, centimetres and DPI explained
Pixels are the dots in a digital photo. Centimetres are the printed size. DPI (dots per inch) links the two. A 3.5 × 4.5 cm photo printed at 300 DPI needs 413 × 531 pixels, so that is the size to use when you plan to print. Online portals set their own pixel sizes, often larger than the print size, so always follow the number the portal shows.
Common reasons passport photos are rejected
- The size or file format does not match what the form or portal asks for.
- The face is too small, too large or off centre in the frame.
- The background is not plain, or there is a shadow behind your head.
- The photo is blurry, too dark, over-exposed or has been heavily edited.
- Glasses reflect light, hair covers the eyes, or the expression is not neutral.
How to get the best result with this tool
- Start with a sharp photo taken in daylight, against a plain wall, with your face straight on.
- Upload it and drag and zoom until your face sits in the centre of the frame.
- Download the 413 × 531 pixel JPG and check the size and file size ticks.
- Print it at 300 DPI, or upload it where a digital copy is accepted.
Passport rules can change. Always check the latest requirements on the official passport or visa website before you print or upload.

Can I turn a regular smartphone selfie into a passport photo?
Yes, you can use a smartphone photo, but it cannot be a traditional close-up selfie taken with the front camera due to lens distortion. Instead, have someone take a well-lit photo of you from 4–6 feet away against a plain background, keeping your expression neutral, and then crop it down.
