A 35x45mm photo is one of the most common passport and visa photo formats. You will see it across many European and international application workflows, but the exact face-size, background, lighting, and upload rules can vary by country.
That is why a generic crop is not enough. You need the right physical size, enough pixels for print quality, and a final checklist before you submit.
Use the Resize Image to 35x45mm tool when you already know the required size. Use a country-specific tool, like the Germany Passport Photo Maker or Schengen Visa Photo Maker, when you want the preset and helper text together.
What 35x45mm means in pixels
At 300 DPI, a 35x45mm photo is approximately 413x531 pixels. That is the size most print-quality exports use.
If a portal asks for pixels instead of millimeters, read the portal instructions first. Some portals accept a wider range as long as the ratio and face position are correct. Others reject anything outside a strict pixel range.
Best photo to start with
Start with a sharp photo that has room around the head and shoulders. Do not start with a tiny social profile picture. It will become blurry after resizing.
Good source photo:
- Even daylight or soft indoor light
- Plain wall or clean background
- Face directly toward the camera
- No heavy filters or beauty edits
- Enough space above the head and around the shoulders
Bad source photo:
- Cropped tightly from a group picture
- Side angle or tilted face
- Strong shadow behind the head
- Low-resolution screenshot
- Glasses glare or hair covering the eyes
