35x45 Photo Size Online

Make a 35x45 mm Photo Online in Minutes

You do not need a studio to get a 35×45 mm photo. Upload a picture from your phone, and our tool crops and resizes it to the 35 x 45 mm format. It also replaces the background and checks that your head fits the required range.

Download the file for printing or online upload. The whole process takes about two minutes, and you can retake the picture as often as you like.

How to Crop a Photo to 35x45 mm in 4 Steps

1. Upload your picture. Choose a clear, front-facing photo from your phone or computer.
2. Select the 35×45 mm format. The tool sets the correct frame and aspect ratio.
3. Review the checks. The editor centres your face, removes the background and tests your head size.
4. Download your photo. Save a digital file, or a print-ready sheet with several copies.

35×45 mm in Other Units

Forms and websites quote the same size in different units. Use this table to convert:

Unit	35×45 mm photo size
Millimetres	35 × 45 mm
Centimetres	3.5 × 4.5 cm
Inches	About 1.38 × 1.77 in
Pixels at 300 DPI	About 413 × 531 px
Pixels at 600 DPI	About 827 × 1063 px
Aspect ratio	7:9

Some online portals ask for a specific pixel size instead. For example, India asks for 630×810 px, and the UK asks for at least 600×750 px. Both keep the 7:9 ratio. Always check the upload page before you submit.

Which Countries Accept 35×45 mm Photos?

Many countries use the 35×45 mm format for passports. Here are common examples:

Region	Countries and documents
United Kingdom and Ireland	UK passport and driving licence, Irish passport
European Union and Schengen area	Most EU member states for passports, ID cards and Schengen visas
Rest of Europe	Norway, Switzerland and Russia for passports
Asia-Pacific	India, Japan and Singapore for passports

This list is not complete, and rules vary by document. A country may use 35×45 mm for passports but another size for visas or ID cards, so always check the official requirements.

Same Size, Different Rules

Two countries can use the same 35×45 mm size and still set different rules. Check these points for your country:

• Head size: The range varies, for example 29–34 mm in the UK and a larger share of the frame in India.
• Background colour: Some countries ask for white, others for cream or light grey.
• Photo age: Limits range from one month to six months.
• File format and size: Online portals set their own limits.

For country pages, see our guides to the UK passport photo and the Indian passport photo.

Countries That Use a Different Size

Do not use 35×45 mm for these formats:

Country	Typical size
United States	2 × 2 in (51 × 51 mm), square
Canada	50 × 70 mm
China	33 × 48 mm

Use our US visa photo maker for the square US format.

35×45 mm Photo Requirements That Apply Almost Everywhere

Most authorities that use this size follow the ICAO principles. Get these right, and you avoid most rejections.

Pose and Expression

• Face the camera. Look straight at the lens with your head level.
• Keep a neutral expression. Close your mouth and keep your eyes open.
• Show your full face. Move hair away from your eyes, and keep your face uncovered from chin to forehead.

Background and Lighting

• Use a plain background. Check whether your country wants white, cream or light grey.
• Avoid shadows. Light your face and the wall evenly.
• Keep the frame clear. Other people, objects and patterns cause rejections.

Glasses, Headwear and Editing

• Remove your glasses. Many countries no longer accept them, except for documented medical reasons.
• Wear headwear only for religious or medical reasons. Show your full face.
• Do not retouch the photo. Filters, smoothing and heavy editing lead to rejection.

How to Print a 35x45 mm Photo

Printing is where many photos go wrong. Follow these steps for an exact size.

1. Download the print sheet. Choose the 6 × 4 inch (10 × 15 cm) layout.
2. Load photo paper. Use glossy or matt photo paper, not plain office paper.
3. Choose the highest quality setting. Select "photo" or "best" in your printer settings.
4. Print at 100% scale. Turn off "fit to page", or the size will change.
5. Measure the result. Check one photo with a ruler for exactly 35 × 45 mm.
6. Cut along the guides. Use a trimmer or sharp scissors for straight edges.
