Get exact pixel dimensions for passport and ID photos.
| Physical size | 51 × 51 mm |
|---|---|
| Required pixel dimensions | 602 × 602 px |
Requirements vary by issuing authority and can change — confirm the current requirement before printing.
These examples are rounded to whole pixels. They are useful for preparing a print file, but the official authority's current size, background, head position, and crop rules still matter.
| Physical photo size | Pixels at 300 DPI | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 2 × 2 in | 600 × 600 px | Common US passport photo print size |
| 35 × 45 mm | 413 × 531 px | Common passport and visa photo size |
| 50 × 70 mm | 591 × 827 px | Larger visa/photo document format |
| 25 × 35 mm | 295 × 413 px | Small ID-style photo format |
| 45 × 45 mm | 531 × 531 px | Square ID/photo format |
Pixel dimensions only solve the resolution part of a passport or visa photo. They do not verify face size, background color, expression, clothing, shadows, or country-specific acceptance rules. Treat the calculator as the print-resolution step, then check the official photo standard before submitting.
Passport and visa photo requirements are usually specified in millimeters. pixels = (mm / 25.4) × DPI converts that to the pixel dimensions needed for printing.
If you need to resize the actual file after calculating the target, use the Image Resizer for Print and then confirm the result with the DPI Checker.
These are common published dimensions, but requirements vary by issuing authority and can change. Always confirm the current requirement with the relevant passport or visa office before printing.
300 DPI is the safest general target for printed passport and ID photos because it keeps the photo sharp at small physical sizes.
A 2 × 2 inch photo at 300 DPI is 600 × 600 pixels.
Many official photo requirements are written in millimeters. The calculator converts millimeters to inches first, then multiplies by the chosen DPI to get pixels.
