What these millimetres work out to
- In a 24 × 30 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 21–24 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 30 mm of height that leaves 6–9 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 248–283 pixels tall — below 248 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
- Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 0.69 times as wide, 0.67 times as tall and 0.46 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.
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 24 × 30 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
Do not confuse it with another Nepal document
Nepal does not use one frame for everything. This page is about ID card — 24 × 30 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 24 × 30 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 283 × 354 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
Nepal-specific things to know
- Nepal bans «cosmetic makeup, a hat, a burqa, a cap» and jewellery in the National ID photograph — an unusual list that includes cosmetics — and cites section 16 (c) and (d) of the 2078 procedure.
- The photograph is listed among the biometric details the Department collects, together with ten fingerprints, the iris and the electronic signature, and the page asks for no print.
Printing on a single sheet
4 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 8 copies from a single print.

What the source confirms
- Department of National ID and Civil Registration of Nepal, FAQ «National Identity Card», question 8 (Nepali, translated): the identity card contains the citizen's personal details (name, surname, date of birth, sex, parents' names, permanent and temporary address, citizenship number and type, spouse's name, grandfather's and grandmother's names, nationality, identity card number) and the biometric details — fingerprints (10 fingers), the iris of the eyes, the photograph and the electronic signature; question 9: if a person is missing some or all fingers or is blind, the biometric details are registered with a remark.
- Same FAQ, question 12 (translated): «Is it allowed to take a photograph for the National ID wearing cosmetic makeup, a hat, a burqa or other items/jewellery? — According to section 16 (c) and (d) of the National Identity Card Procedure 2078, it is not allowed to take a photograph for the National ID wearing cosmetic makeup, a hat, a burqa, a cap and the like. Because when a photograph is taken wearing such items/ornaments, a photograph of the size and quality of the international standard cannot be taken and the face/features may become unclear, so the photograph must be taken without any cosmetic makeup, hat, burqa or other items/ornaments.»
- Same FAQ, question 7: the form is filled in online on the Department's website https://donidcr.gov.np in the National Identity Card online application, following the instructions given there; a later answer says that documents that are unclear, self-corrected, damaged, overwritten, torn or photocopies cannot be used to fill in the details.
