Passport and document photo sizes by country
Of the 50 documents below, 18 name a 35 x 45 mm print, but the US asks for 51 x 51 mm, Canada 50 x 70 mm and Spain 32 x 26 mm. Most visa forms want pixels and a file size. Every row links to the authority's page and the date we read it.
Which size does each document ask for?
Type a country or a size to narrow the list. Each row opens a page that makes the photo, with the full rules and the tool set to that size.
Passports
Most passport offices state a printed size in millimetres, and the pixels under it are that print at the resolution shown. The UK, Ireland, Japan, Singapore and Poland also state pixels for an online application, and New Zealand states only pixels.

Visa and immigration forms
Most of these forms take an uploaded file, so they state a pixel size or a shape, and a file size. Vietnam's e-visa, Saudi Arabia's KSA Visa and Colombia's visa state centimetres or millimetres for their upload instead. The German, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Japanese, Hong Kong and Argentine visas are the exceptions: a print you bring or paste on the form.

Driving licences
A licence photo is set by the transport agency, not the passport office, so its rules can differ from the same country's passport photo.

Public service exams and job applications
These state the photo in millimetres, as a passport office does: four prints for the Philippine exam, an uploaded file for Malaysia's SPA. Exam and ID forms that state pixels and KB are listed further down this page.

Which documents share one print size?
A print made at one of these sizes fits every document in its group. The groups are worked out from the specs above, so a new country joins its group on its own.

Size is only one rule. France forbids the white background Italy requires, and Germany takes a print only for a passport applied for abroad, at a mission that cannot take the photo itself. Check the row's page before reusing a print.
Where do other size charts disagree with the source?
We read the size charts that rank for this search on September 24, 2026. These figures differ from what the authority's own page says.

Some are a neighbour's rule. The 300 KB often quoted for India's e-Visa belongs to the regular visa form, and 35 x 45 mm is the UK's printed photo, not the online one.
Applying for an exam, a PAN card or a licence?
SSC's 2026 notices and the railway RRB notices take no photo file: each form captures a live photo, and the one upload is the signature. The other eight each ask for several files, each with its own KB limit.
A PAN or driving licence application asks for a photo and a signature, each with its own size and limit.

Exam and ID form photo and signature sizes
Does your form want your name and the date printed on the photo? Add name and date to a photo
Does a bank or a form want both sides of your ID card on one page? Merge ID card front and back on one page
Uploading a signature too?
Exam and job forms often want a signature as well as a photo, with its own box and size range.
IBPS asks for 140 x 60 pixels at 10 to 20 KB, and our test signatures could not reach 10 KB at that size.
How these numbers were checked
Each size on this page was read at the issuing authority's own website, not copied from another converter or from a search result.
The page it came from and the date it was read are printed above, so you can check the same source in one click.
Requirements change, and the only version that counts is the one on the authority's own page on the day you apply.
Every size here links to the page it came from and shows the date it was read. If that date looks old, spend a minute at the source before you print anything.
Where the pixel figure comes from
Passport offices publish millimetres, not pixels, because the photograph is printed. Turning millimetres into pixels needs a resolution, and most authorities do not name one.
That matters if you are uploading rather than printing.
An online form usually states its own pixel size or file size limit, and where an authority publishes one this page uses that instead of converting anything.
What happens to your photo?
Your selected photo is processed in your browser, without an image upload to a server. The page may download code and codecs needed for editing.
Save your result before closing the tab; unsaved edits are kept in memory rather than in an online account.
Common questions
Is a passport photo the same size in every country?
No. 18 of the documents here name 35 x 45 mm, but the US asks for 51 x 51 mm, Canada 50 x 70 mm and Spain 32 x 26 mm.
Visa and online forms usually state pixels and a file size instead of a print.
Can I use one photo for several countries?
Only when the size and the other rules both match. A 35 x 45 mm print fits every document in that group by size.
The background still differs: France forbids white, and Italy requires it.
What is 35 x 45 mm in pixels?
413 x 531 pixels at 300 DPI, which this tool uses when an authority names no resolution.
The Netherlands and Belgium name 400 DPI, which makes the same print 551 x 709 pixels. Germany's visa guide names 600 DPI, which makes it 827 x 1063.
