What “passport size” means

In India and most of the world, a passport size photo is 35 mm wide × 45 mm tall (3.5 × 4.5 cm). Printed at the standard 300 dpi, that’s 413 × 531 pixels. It’s used for passports, visas, Aadhaar and PAN updates, exam forms, school and college admissions, and office ID cards.

Common requirements

RuleTypical requirement
Size35 × 45 mm, 413 × 531 px at 300 dpi

Requirements differ between documents and countries, so check the official page for yours. For an Indian passport, the Passport Seva site linked below has the current guidance.

How to do it here

  1. 35×45 mm (413×531) is selected in the Print deck.
  2. Drop your photo. Drag the bright box so your face is centred with a little space above your head.
  3. Hit Repixel it ✨. The badge confirms 413 × 531 px. Download it for upload, or print it.

White background in one step

If you took the photo against a wall at home, open White background, remove the background on your device, and tap 🛂 Make passport photo. The photo comes back here at 413 × 531 px and under 50 KB, ready for most forms.

Printing passport photos

Print shops usually print several passport photos on one 4 × 6 sheet. Download your 413 × 531 file and ask them to print it at 35 × 45 mm. At home, set your printer to “actual size” so it isn’t scaled. Cut along the edges carefully.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Selfies at arm’s length: the face is too small and slightly distorted. Ask someone to take it from about 1.5 m away.
  • Shadows behind you: step away from the wall.
  • Heavy filters or beauty mode: they can lead to rejection.

Digital uploads

Many online forms ask for a “passport size photo” as a file with a KB limit, often 20–50 KB or up to 200 KB. After making your 413 × 531 photo here, switch to KB size, type your limit, and type 413 × 531 in the optional exact pixels boxes, or open the matching exam page, which does both at once.
