Passport Photos Are Specified in Millimetres, Not Pixels
Passport and visa photo rules are written for print, so they are expressed as physical measurements — 35 x 45 mm across most of Europe and Asia, 2 x 2 inches for the United States. Converting that to pixels requires deciding a print resolution, and 600 DPI is the usual requirement for official submissions.
At 600 DPI, a 35 x 45 mm photo works out to roughly 827 x 1063 pixels. A 2 x 2 inch US photo is 1200 x 1200. Producing a file at those dimensions is what lets the photo print at the correct physical size without being rescaled at the counter.
Head proportions are usually specified as well, and this is where most rejections happen. Requirements typically state that the head must occupy a defined portion of the frame — commonly around 70 to 80 percent of the height from chin to crown — with the eyes falling within a particular band. A technically correct file size will still be refused if the face is framed wrongly.
Common Passport Photo Specifications
| Country or region | Physical size | Pixels at 600 DPI |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 2 x 2 in | 1200 x 1200 |
| United Kingdom | 35 x 45 mm | 827 x 1063 |
| Schengen area | 35 x 45 mm | 827 x 1063 |
| India | 35 x 45 mm | 827 x 1063 |
| Canada | 50 x 70 mm | 1181 x 1654 |
| Australia | 35 x 45 mm | 827 x 1063 |
Check the Official Requirements Before Submitting
Specifications vary by country and are revised periodically, and the rules cover far more than dimensions — background colour, lighting, expression, glasses, head coverings and how recent the photo must be are all commonly specified and commonly cause rejection. The figures here are a starting point for getting the file right, not a substitute for the issuing authority current guidance. Always confirm against the official page for the document you are applying for.
