Crop a photo to 35 × 45 mm — Azerbaijan passport
Upload a photo — the frame is already set for a Azerbaijan passport. Ready to print or upload.
Two ways to hand in the photo for this document
Azerbaijan accepts the photo for this document two ways, and only one of them starts with a file on your computer. Read both before you crop anything.
- You supply the photo yourself — printed or as a file. Then it has to match the sizes on this page exactly, and the cropper below is the right tool.
- The photo is taken for you where the application is filed. On that route ASAN xidmət / Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan works with its own image, and a file you cropped here is not used at all.
Upload your photo
The document is already selected — the frame is locked to 35 × 45 mm. Drag the photo inside the frame; the shape cannot be broken.
The photo is cropped in your browser. It is not uploaded to a server and we do not store it.
How to crop it, in three steps
- Upload the photo you want to resize.
- Pick the country and document — the exact size and head ratio come from that profile.
- Download the result — cropped, resized and face-aligned entirely in your browser.
Exact numbers for this document
| Parameter | What it must be |
|---|---|
| Print size | 35 × 45 mm |
| Pixels at 300 dpi | 413 × 531 px |
| Pixels at 600 dpi | 827 × 1063 px |
| Aspect ratio | 7:9 |
| Eye line from the bottom edge | 55–70% |
| Background | If the official source does not publish a separate background rule, use a plain light background without textures, shadows, or foreign objects. |
| Glasses | Eyes must be fully visible; no tinted lenses or strong reflections. |
What cropping will not fix
- A wrong background — cropping does not repaint the wall behind you. This document needs: plain light
- A shadow on the face or on the wall. Step 1–2 m away from the wall and shoot facing a window.
- Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
| Reason | Fix |
|---|---|
| Photo taken outdoors (studio required) | Re-shoot in studio environment |
| Background not pure white | Re-shoot against white backdrop |
| Head height under 30.8mm | Re-shoot closer to camera |
| Top-of-head margin under 2.4mm | Re-crop with more headroom |
Azerbaijan-specific things to know
- ASAN service centers capture passport photos ON-SITE — most applicants do not need to bring their own
- Different format for passport (35×45) vs visa (30×40)
- Studio shoot required (outdoor photos rejected)

Where these numbers come from

- ASAN confirms that passport photographs are taken using special equipment inside the service centre.
- ASAN states that fingerprinting and photographing are carried out by the passport-issuing body.
- ASAN ties passport photographing to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements.
- Embassy routes may still ask applicants to appear in person for biometric collection and submit printed passport photos.
- This profile is modeled as a hybrid workflow because in-country and embassy routes are not identical.
