Questions and answers

What size is a passport photo?

It depends on the country and the document. 35 × 45 mm is the most common: 38 of the 110 documents here use it. The United States uses 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm). Passport photo size by country lists them all in millimetres, centimetres, inches and pixels.

Is a visa photo the same as a passport photo?

Sometimes, but not always. The size, head size, background and file size can all differ, even within one country. Visa photo vs passport photo compares them side by side.

Where do these rules come from?

From government, embassy and official application websites. Each country page links to its source and shows the date we checked it.

What if my country or document is not listed?

Use Resize a photo with the size the website asks for, then Check my file to test it against the rules.

Can I print the photo myself?

Yes, for documents that accept your own photo. Pick your country, then download the 4 × 6 inch print sheet and print it at actual size. There is more in passport photo 4 × 6 template.
