Nigeria Passport Photo Maker — 35x45mm Photo Online
A Nigerian passport photo has two requirements it's easy to get wrong: a genuinely PURE WHITE background, and — for the online application — a JPEG small enough for the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) portal to accept. The NIS is strict about the background: off-white, cream, grey, or the pale-blue backdrop many studios default to will get the photo rejected, so it needs to be clean, bright white with even lighting and no shadow. Get the background and the file right and you avoid the two most common upload problems.

Nigeria Passport Photo Maker — 35x45mm Photo Online
A Nigerian passport photo has two requirements it's easy to get wrong: a genuinely PURE WHITE background, and — for the online application — a JPEG small enough for the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) portal to accept. The NIS is strict about the background: off-white, cream, grey, or the pale-blue backdrop many studios default to will get the photo rejected, so it needs to be clean, bright white with even lighting and no shadow. Get the background and the file right and you avoid the two most common upload problems.
The photo size is the international 35 x 45mm portrait format. This tool crops your photo to the exact 35:45 aspect ratio and resizes it to 413 x 531 pixels — 35 x 45mm at 300 DPI — with the head intended to fill roughly three-quarters of the frame (about 34.5mm), and encodes it as a JPEG kept under about 500KB, within the roughly 100–500KB range the NIS online portal expects. It crops from the centre automatically, so start with a photo where your face is centred and fills a similar share of the frame as a standard passport photo.
Processing runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded by this tool. It handles the crop, the pixel size, and the file size, but it can't judge your background or lighting, so shoot against pure white and confirm the current NIS requirements before submitting.
Common questions
35 x 45mm at 300 DPI, which is 413 x 531 pixels — what this tool outputs — saved as a JPEG. For the NIS online application the file should be modest in size (roughly 100–500KB); this tool keeps the JPEG within that range automatically while holding the exact dimensions.
A pure white background. The NIS rejects off-white, cream, grey, and the light-blue backdrop some photographers use by default. Photograph yourself against a clean white surface with even lighting and no shadow behind your head.
The two usual causes are a background that isn't truly white and a file that doesn't fit the portal's size and format rules. This tool fixes the 35 x 45mm ratio, the pixel dimensions, and the JPEG file size; make sure the background is genuinely pure white and your head fills about 75% of the frame.
About three-quarters of the photo height — roughly 34.5mm from chin to crown within the 45mm frame. Start from a photo where your face is centred and already fills a similar proportion, since the tool crops from the centre and can't resize your head for you.
No — cropping, resizing, and compression all happen in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device, and this tool isn't connected to any government portal.
