High-Resolution Print Crops vs Portal-Sized Crops

If you are sending your passport photo to a commercial photo printer (like Walgreens, Boots, Max Photo, or a home Canon Selphy), keeping full megapixel resolution in a 3.5:4.5 crop delivers ultra-crisp 600+ DPI lab prints.

If you are uploading directly to a government portal that enforces `413 × 531 px` and `< 50 KB` or `< 100 KB`, simply turn on Stage 2 / Stage 3 or pick your country in our Passport Photo Resizer.

Frequently asked questions

How far should I stand from the camera before cropping to 35×45 mm?
Have someone take your photo from 1.2 to 1.5 meters (4–5 feet) away at eye level. Close-up arm’s-length selfies cause wide-angle nose distortion and hide ears, which fails biometric checks.
Does this crop also resize to 413 × 531 pixels?
By default on this page, Stage 4 crops to the exact 3.5:4.5 ratio at full native resolution. To also scale to exact 413 × 531 px at 300 DPI, use our Resize 35×45 mm tool or open Stage 2.
What if I need a 2 × 2 inch US passport crop instead?
US passports use a 1:1 square ratio—switch Crop Ratio to "1:1 Square" or visit our Crop 1:1 Square / Resize 2×2 Inch page.
Can I crop an iPhone HEIC photo into a 35×45 mm JPG?
Yes! Drop your .heic file straight into PixelKit and download a clean .jpg.
