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.
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 Nepal document
Nepal 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 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
Nepal-specific things to know
- Nepal bans a tika on the forehead in the photograph — «a photo with a tika will not be accepted» — and asks for «only 70 % face coverage» on 35 × 45 mm, borderless.
- The printed photographs are named only for a newborn and for children under 5 applying by post; for other applicants the embassy enrols the biometrics in person.
Printing on a single sheet
4 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 8 copies from a single print.
Print at 100% scale, borderless, and turn off fit-to-page so each photo keeps its exact size.

Where these numbers come from

What the source confirms
- Embassy of Nepal in Canberra, «Required Documents», for a newborn's passport: a colour copy of the minor citizenship certificate (or the birth registration certificate if it is not yet obtained), a copy of the parents' marriage registration certificate, colour copies of the parents' citizenship certificates (front and back), copies of their valid visas, a print of the filled online form, and «35mm X 45mm sized, only 70% face coverage, high resolution borderless photos (2 pieces) with white background. Please don't put any TIKA on forehead. Photo with tika will not be accepted.» The e-passport is issued for 5 years to such children.
- Same page, the other lists: the renewal of a minor's passport (a colour copy of the minor ID issued in Nepal, a copy of the current passport pages, the parents' documents, a print of the online form), the renewal of an adult's passport (the citizenship certificate or a colour copy, the original passport, a copy of the visa, a print of the online form) and a lost, stolen or damaged passport (the citizenship certificate, the passport pages or the damaged passport, a signed application with the police report number for a loss) — none of these lists names a photograph.
- Same Embassy, «Children below 5 year — Special Provision»: children below 5 do not necessarily need to be physically present at the Embassy for biometrics; the parents fill the pre-enrolment form online with the appointment location set to the Embassy in Canberra (forms for other locations are not accepted), and send or bring the documents and the photos, with a money order or bank cheque unless they come in person; the return envelope is sent only after an e-mail says the passport is ready; fees for children below 10 are AUD 115.00 for 34 pages and AUD 155.00 for 66 pages, and AUD 175.00 and AUD 230.00 for a lost, stolen or damaged passport.
- Same Embassy, «Important Information — Read Before Filling Form»: before the online e-passport form the applicant prepares photographs (JPEG, file size less than 300 KB) of the citizenship certificate (front and back) and of the passport (photo page and page 31), selects the application type (first issuance, renewal of an expired passport, replacement of a lost or stolen passport, replacement of a damaged passport), and books a pre-enrolment appointment; the appointments are fully booked within a few hours.
