What these millimetres work out to
- In a 35 × 45 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 31.5–36 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 45 mm of height that leaves 9–13.5 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 372–425 pixels tall — below 372 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
What this document is
Cameroon’s passport starts with a pre-registration on passcam.cm, the platform that AUGENTIC PassCam SA runs for the Délégation Générale à la Sûreté Nationale (DGSN). At the enrolment centre the police then record the applicant’s photo, fingerprints, signature and height for the Cameroonian passport.
How to crop it, in three steps
- 01
Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light
- 02
The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%
- 03
Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
Do not confuse it with another Cameroon document
Cameroon does not use one frame for everything. This page is about passport — 35 × 45 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background without textures or noticeable gradients.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- 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.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Cameroon-specific things to know
- Cameroon takes the passport application only online on passcam.cm and then in person for the «physical enrolment», where the parameters are captured — the embassy page names no photograph to bring.
- The appointment can be changed only once, and only online; the passport is collected in person on weekdays at midday.

Where these numbers come from
Source: Embassy of Cameroon in Germany (Berlin) — passcam.cm passport platform. Last checked against the official page on 1 Oct 2026.
What the source confirms
- Embassy of Cameroon in Germany, «Passeport», step 1 (online pre-enrolment): every applicant opens a file online on https://www.passcam.cm — choose the language, press the green button to begin the pre-enrolment, accept the terms, choose the authentication (a telephone number or an e-mail address), enter the code received by SMS or e-mail, open a «new application» and fill in the information sheet, choose the mode of payment (credit card, Express Union, Orange Money, MTN Mobile Money or Yoomee); after the payment an appointment tab opens — choose the place (the Embassy of Cameroon in Berlin) and the date of the physical enrolment; the information sheet generated is printed.
- Same page, step 2 (physical enrolment at the embassy): on the day of the chosen appointment the applicant brings the information sheet, the originals of the documents requested for the taking of the parameters and the validation of the file, and 50 euros of consular fees; the information sheet, sent by e-mail, lists the documents to provide; the appointment can be changed online only, and only once.
- Same page, step 3 (collection): an e-mail or an SMS says that the passport is available at the embassy and no other confirmation is needed; newly issued passports are collected in person at the embassy from Monday to Thursday between 12:00 and 14:00, or by a person with a power of attorney signed before a competent authority (a town hall or a notary); the pre-enrolment can be interrupted and resumed with the identification code.
