35 x 45 mm photo, in pixels and inches
A 35 x 45 mm photo, also written 3.5 x 4.5 cm, is the passport size used in the UK, India, Schengen visas and many forms. Make one here, see its size in pixels and inches, and print a sheet of copies.
- 413 x 531 px at 300 DPI
- 1.38 x 1.77 inches
- 8 on 4 x 6 in, 30 on A4
What the file shows
The check reads the file on this device. It does not change, save or upload it, and the passport office still makes the final call.
- Top of head
- Chin inside this band
- Eyes inside this band
Brightness and background tools are off for official passport and visa photos, because passport offices reject edited photos. Retake the photo in even light against a plain light wall instead.

How to make a 35 x 45 mm photo
Keep the general format
Passport size photo, 35 x 45 mm, is selected. If your form names a country, pick it instead: the head size differs.
Add a straight-on photo
Even light, a plain light wall, eyes level with the camera. The photo stays in your browser.
Tap crown and chin
We size the face to 70 to 80% of the photo, 31.5 to 36 mm on a 45 mm photo, and centre it.
Download or print
A 413 x 531 pixel JPG at 300 DPI, or a 4 x 6 inch or A4 sheet of copies.
Why the pixel size depends on DPI
Millimetres describe a print and pixels describe a file, so the two only meet through the print resolution. At 300 dots per inch, the usual setting for photo prints, 35 x 45 mm is 413 x 531 pixels; at 600 DPI it is 827 x 1063. Our download is 413 x 531 pixels with 300 DPI stored in the file, so a shop that follows the file prints it at exactly 35 x 45 mm.
When an online form asks for 35 x 45 mm but names no pixel size, any file with the same 7 by 9 shape prints at that size, and more pixels only make a sharper print. The 630 x 810 pixels Passport Seva asks for, and the 700 x 900 file we make for checking UK photos, have that same shape.
For a photo you already have, change image DPI shows the DPI stored in the file and sets a new one without touching the pixels.
Who uses 35 x 45 mm, and how big the head is
The frame is the same in many places, but the head inside it is not. That is why the format list has a separate entry for each country:
| Document | Head or face size | Background | Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| General passport size | Face 70 to 80% of the photo (31.5 to 36 mm on 45 mm, our conversion) | Plain and light | ICAO guide |
| UK passport | Head 29 to 34 mm, chin to crown | Plain cream or light grey | GOV.UK |
| Indian passport | Face 80 to 85% of the photo | White | Passport Seva |
| Schengen visa | Face 70 to 80% of the photo; eyes to chin at least 13 mm (Czech consulates) | Plain and light, white is safest | Schengen visa photo |
| Australian passport | Face 32 to 36 mm, in a photo 35 to 40 mm wide and 45 to 50 mm high | Plain white or light grey | Australian Passport Office |
Australia’s passport office recommends a professional passport photo provider and does not recommend online passport photo services or apps, so we list its rules for comparison but do not offer it as a format.
Printing 35 x 45 mm photos
One 4 x 6 inch photo print holds 8 of them in two rows of four, A4 holds 30 in six rows of five, and US Letter 28. Each photo gets a thin grey cutting line just outside its edge, and the sheet keeps 3 mm clear at the edges.
Print the PDF at Actual size or 100 %, not Fit to page, then measure one photo before cutting the rest: it should be 45 mm tall and 35 mm wide. Labs that sell 10 x 15 cm prints instead of 4 x 6 inches may shrink the image a little to fit, so ask for 4 x 6 or check with a ruler.
Exam and everyday forms
Exam, admission and ID card forms often say passport size and mean 35 x 45 mm, sometimes with a file size limit as well. For these the general format lets you adjust brightness and contrast and lighten a plain wall, which the official passport formats switch off.
If the form sets a limit in KB, bring the downloaded photo down with the 50 KB compressor or the 20 KB compressor, which can also set exact pixels when a form names them.
