ID Photo Resizer — Crop & Export Passport-ready Photos
Quickly crop and resize photos to standard ID and passport dimensions. This tool helps you select a size preset, set the output DPI, and precisely crop with a visual preview — then download a JPEG ready for online forms or printing. No complicated editors, no account required.
The exporter uses exact pixel dimensions computed from your chosen DPI and size preset (e.g., 35×45 mm at 300 DPI), so the downloaded image meets typical upload/print requirements. We include guidance on background, head position, and file format so your ID photo is accepted the first time.
📸Quick steps — Create a compliant ID photo
- Upload a clear frontal photo with good lighting.
- Select a preset (e.g., 35×45 mm or 2×2 in) and choose the DPI (300 is typical).
- Adjust the crop so the head fits the frame and facial features are centered.
- Export as a high-quality JPEG and download the file for upload or print.
What makes an ID photo acceptable?Background, head size, expression
- Plain background: Use a neutral, light background (white/light gray) with no patterns or shadows.
- Head position: Face the camera directly; keep a neutral expression and both eyes open.
- Framing: Top of shoulders visible, head centered and occupying typical recommended % of the frame (check destination guidelines).
- Attire: No uniforms, hats, or sunglasses. Religious head coverings are allowed if they don’t obscure the face.
- File format & DPI: Export as JPEG; 300 DPI is a safe default for print/official uploads.
Precision settings & sizing
This tool converts common presets into exact pixel dimensions using the selected DPI. For example, 35×45 mm at 300 DPI becomes approximately 413 × 531 pixels. Use the DPI setting to match the requirements of the form or printer. If an exact pixel size is required by the issuing authority, prefer the preset and DPI combination that matches their spec.
Pro tips — get it right on the first try
- Start with a high-resolution source image so the crop remains sharp at export DPI.
- If background removal is needed, use a plain backdrop when taking the photo or preprocess the image in a background-removal tool.
- Validate the final image by opening it at 100% zoom — check for sharpness and correct framing.
- For printed ID photos, supply the requested DPI and file format to the print shop or submission portal.
Privacy & file handlingSafety first — your photos are handled carefully
When possible the tool performs processing in your browser so the source image never leaves your device. If server-side processing is used for very large files, uploads occur over HTTPS and images are deleted from our servers after a short retention period. We do not share your photos with third parties. For highly sensitive identity images, prefer offline tools.
Frequently asked questions
Which size should I choose for passports?
Passport and visa photo sizes vary by country. Common sizes include 35×45 mm and 2×2 inches. Check the official guidance for your destination and pick the matching preset and DPI.
Is 300 DPI always required?
300 DPI is a common requirement for print submissions. For online uploads, the site may accept lower DPI if the pixel dimensions match their rules. Use the DPI setting that the receiving authority requests.
Can I use this for visa photos?
Yes — but always confirm the exact size and facial positioning rules for the visa office. This tool helps with exact cropping and DPI, but regulatory rules (head size ratio, background color) must be followed precisely.
What file formats are supported?
Upload common image formats (JPEG, PNG). Exported files are saved as high-quality JPEGs, which are widely accepted for ID/visa systems.
