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 a photo taken face-on, in even light
- Move the photo until the eyes sit on the guide line and the head fills 70–70%
- Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
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 |
| Head, share of height | 70–70% of photo height |
| Eye line from the bottom edge | 55–70% |
| Background | Suitable plain background, correct lighting, and biometric quality. |
| Glasses | Eyes must be fully visible; no tinted lenses or strong reflections. |
| Head covering | No hat, cap, or scarf, except for official exceptions. |
What these millimetres work out to
- In a 35 × 45 mm frame a head band of 70–70% is 31.5–31.5 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 45 mm of height that leaves 13.5–13.5 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 372–372 pixels tall — below 372 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
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.
