Common passport photo sizes
- United States — 2 × 2 in (51 × 51 mm), 600 × 600 px minimum.
- UK, Schengen/Europe, India, Australia, Japan — 35 × 45 mm.
- Canada — 50 × 70 mm.
- China — 33 × 48 mm.
- Always confirm the exact spec for your country on its requirements page — sizes and head-height rules vary.
It’s not just the outer size — head height matters too
Getting the rectangle right is only half of it. Every spec also fixes how much of the frame your head fills — for example, the US wants your head 1 to 1⅜ inches (about 50–69% of the frame) from chin to crown. Crop a photo to the right outer size with the head too big or too small and it’s still rejected.
When you upload, we set both at once: the outer dimensions and the head position, measured to your country’s spec.
