35 × 45 mm photo maker, print at home.

The passport-size photo many forms ask for. Crop your photo to 35 × 45 mm on white and print a sheet of copies on A4.

Make a 35 x 45 mm passport-size photo

35 x 45 mm is the passport-size photo used in Pakistan, India, the UK, the EU, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Australia and many other places. This page opens the passport photo tool set to 35 x 45 mm with a white background. Add one clear, front-facing photo and you get a single photo and a print sheet.

Add a photo taken against a plain wall, looking straight at the camera.

Drag the photo inside the frame and use the zoom slider to place your face in the oval.

Put the top of your head near the upper line and your chin near the lower line.

Press Make passport photos and download the results.

White background without a studio

Most passports, identity cards and visas ask for a plain white background. With Make it white selected, the tool finds the person and replaces everything behind them with white. The first time takes a few seconds while it gets ready.

It works best when you stand a little away from the wall, with good light on your face and no strong shadows. If your form wants light blue instead, choose Make it light blue.

Print several 35 x 45 photos on one A4 sheet

You get an A4 PDF with copies of the photo and thin grey cut lines. The default is 8 copies. You can choose 4, 6, 12, or As many as fit, which places 25 photos of this size on one A4 page.

Print the sheet at 100% or Actual size, not Fit to page. Otherwise the photos come out smaller than 35 x 45 mm.

Use photo paper for a finish like a studio print, or plain paper for forms that only need a copy.

Any print shop can print the PDF. Cut along the grey lines.

You also get the single photo as a JPG at 300 dots per inch, ready for online forms.

Where you need a 35 x 45 photo

Passport and identity card applications

Visa applications for many countries

Job applications, admission and exam forms

Bank account forms, licences and office ID cards

Rules change now and then, and some offices have extra requirements for head size, glasses or expression. Check the official website of the office you are applying to before you print. If an online form also has a file size limit, take the JPG to Photo to KB.

Taking the photo at home

A good result starts with a good photo. Ask someone to take it for you from about one to two metres away, with the phone at the height of your face. Stand in front of a plain, light wall and face a window so daylight falls evenly on your face. Look straight at the camera with a natural, closed-mouth expression. Remove caps and sunglasses, and keep your hair away from your eyes. A photo taken from too close makes the face look wider, so step back and use the zoom slider in the tool instead. If the result is blurry when printed, the tool warns you that you zoomed in too far. Zoom out a little or use a sharper photo.
