Bangladesh passport photo size
If you are 6 or over, a Bangladesh e-passport needs no photo from you: the passport office photographs you at enrolment. A child under 6 needs a 3R lab print, 89 by 127 mm (3.5 by 5 inches), on a grey background. This tool makes that print file at 300 DPI.

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.
Why this size?
Bangladesh issues e-passports, and the passport office or mission captures each applicant's face, fingerprints and irises at enrolment. That is why the form takes no photo.
A child under 6 is exempt from biometrics, so a parent brings a 3R lab print instead. The Department asks for a grey background on it.
This tool crops your photo to the 3R shape at 300 DPI, ready for a photo lab. It does not repaint the background, so take the photo against a plain grey wall.
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.
This one does not, so the pixel figure above is 300 DPI, the resolution print shops work to. The millimetre measurement is the requirement; the pixel figure is our arithmetic on top of it.
The file you download records that resolution in its header, so a print dialog set to actual size uses it instead of guessing at 72 or 96 DPI and printing the photo several times too large.
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.
Check before you submit
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.

Common questions
Is a Bangladesh passport photo 45 x 55 mm?
Not for an e-passport. The Department of Immigration and Passports' instructions say no photo is attached to the e-passport form, and they name no 45 by 55 mm photo.
The only print they ask for is a 3R photo for a child under 6. Many sites still sell a 45 by 55 photo, but the e-passport instructions never ask for one.
Do I need to bring a photo to my e-passport appointment?
Not if you are 6 or over. You are photographed at the passport office or mission during biometric enrolment, along with your fingerprints and iris scan.
The Department's checklist asks you to wear coloured clothes rather than white for that photo.
What is 3R size in pixels?
3R is a standard photo print, 3.5 by 5 inches. The Bangladesh High Commission in London gives it as 89 by 127 mm.
The Department publishes no resolution. At this tool's 300 DPI the file is 1051 by 1500 pixels, which a photo lab prints at 3R.
Should the background be grey or white?
The Department of Immigration and Passports says grey, on its instructions page and again on its enrolment checklist.
The Bangladesh embassy in Stockholm asks for white on its own checklist. Applying at a mission abroad? Follow that mission's list. In Bangladesh, use grey.
Does a child under 6 give fingerprints?
No. The High Commission in London says children under 6 are exempt from biometrics, which is why they bring a printed photo instead.
The child still has to come to the appointment in person, even a newborn.
