The photo is 35 × 45 mm. Official pixel rule: Upload: at least 413 × 531 pixels, RGB; or two 35 × 45 mm prints. SafeResize makes a 413 × 531 pixel file that meets it.
35 × 45 mm is 3.5 × 4.5 cm or 1.38 × 1.77 inches, in a 7:9 shape. Printed at 300 DPI it is 413 × 531 pixels, and at 600 DPI 827 × 1063 pixels. These are conversions of the official size, not extra rules. For the upload, the official pixel rule is: Upload: at least 413 × 531 pixels, RGB; or two 35 × 45 mm prints.
Up to 5 MB. SafeResize checks the size before you download, and keeps it inside the limit whether the website counts 1 KB as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.
White, even. Stand in front of a plain wall with no pattern, and face a window so there are no shadows behind you. The official rules do not allow edited photos, so SafeResize does not change the background for this document: a plain wall is the way.
From the chin to the top of the head, your head should fill 71% to 80% of the photo height. The face guide in the tool shows both lines.
The official rules say: No tinted glasses, coloured or circle contact lenses, or military, police or camouflage clothing.
Two identical colour photos taken within 6 months, front-facing, no hat, white background, 4.5 cm high × 3.5 cm wide without a border; top of head to chin 3.2–3.6 cm (face 70–80%), centred. Use a camera of at least 3 megapixels, print on high-quality glossy photo paper, and do no digital retouching. No tinted glasses, coloured or circle contact lenses, or military, police or camouflage clothing. Applying in Taiwan, a photo uploaded in BOCA's online form replaces the two paper photos.
JPG or JPEG. SafeResize saves a JPG (JPEG) file.
Yes. A photo you take yourself can be used if it meets every rule above, but BOCA warns that phone selfies are often mirrored or distorted by a wide-angle camera, which can mean sending a new photo and collecting your passport later, so it asks you to consider a photo studio first. It is easier if someone else takes it for you.
No. The photo is processed inside your browser and never leaves your phone or computer.
