What these millimetres work out to
- In a 35 × 45 mm frame a head band of 76–80% is 34–36 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 45 mm of height that leaves 9–11 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 402–425 pixels tall — below 402 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
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 76–80%
- 03
Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white background.
- 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.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Macau-specific things to know
- Macao bans coloured contact lenses and «big eye» lenses with an iris-enlarging effect outright, together with thick heavy black or white glasses frames.
- The face height depends on age: 34–36 mm from the age of 10 and 32–36 mm below 10, in a 35 × 45 mm photograph.
- The photograph can come from a self-service kiosk, the Macao One Account «My Photos» service or a studio — and a photograph taken on site is free.

- Same sheet, clothing and accessories: head coverings are not allowed; heavy make-up, camisoles or tube-tops and overly dark, overly light-coloured or reflective clothing should be avoided; exaggerated accessories (head wrap, jewellery on eyebrows, nose or lips) should be avoided so that the full face shows; to avoid an impact on the use of the document an additional photo may be required for an application with a substandard photo.
- Same sheet, rejected photographs: eyes or facial features covered by the frame of glasses (thick and heavy black or white frames); hair in front of the eyes or eyebrows; coloured contact lenses or contact lenses with an iris-enlarging effect; reflection or glare on the face or glasses; shadow; overexposed; underexposed. The diagram of the face height: below the age of 10, 32–36 mm; at 10 or above, 34–36 mm, in the 35 × 45 mm photograph.
- Macao SAR Government, application procedures for the Macao SAR passport: the applicant can use the photograph taken at a self-service kiosk, or the photograph for identification documents in «My Photos» of the «Macao One Account» taken by a contracted photography studio within the past 6 months; a photograph can also be taken at a studio within the last 6 months or on site at no cost; DSI asks for an additional photograph if the one provided does not meet the requirements.
