UK Passport Photo Maker — 35x45mm Photo Online
UK passport photos follow a different spec than passports from some other countries: 35 x 45mm rather than a square, captured at 300 DPI for a sharp printed result. The same 35 x 45mm size shows up well beyond passport applications too — UK visa applications, provisional and full driving licences, and various other ID and travel documents frequently ask for the identical dimensions, which is why this tool is useful even if you're not renewing a passport specifically.

UK Passport Photo Maker — 35x45mm Photo Online
UK passport photos follow a different spec than passports from some other countries: 35 x 45mm rather than a square, captured at 300 DPI for a sharp printed result. The same 35 x 45mm size shows up well beyond passport applications too — UK visa applications, provisional and full driving licences, and various other ID and travel documents frequently ask for the identical dimensions, which is why this tool is useful even if you're not renewing a passport specifically.
This tool gives you a crop box locked to the 35:45 aspect ratio — drag it over your photo to frame your head — and resizes the result to exactly 413 x 531 pixels, the pixel count matching 35 x 45mm at 300 DPI. Position the crop box so your head sits where the requirements expect it rather than accepting the default framing — the ratio stays locked, so you can only move and scale it, never distort it.
Because the 35 x 45mm size is shared across several different UK document types, it's worth double-checking which exact rules apply to your specific application — a passport photo and a visa photo can share the same dimensions but have different rules around background color, headwear, or how recently the photo was taken.
Processing happens entirely in your browser, with your photo never uploaded to any server. Photo specifications are set by the relevant issuing authority and can change over time, so confirm the current requirements for your specific document — passport, visa, or otherwise — before submitting.
Common questions
35 x 45mm, at a minimum of 300 DPI. This tool outputs exactly 413 x 531 pixels, which corresponds to 35 x 45mm at 300 DPI.
Many UK visa applications use the same 35 x 45mm dimensions as passport photos, but background, headwear, and other requirements can differ by visa type. Confirm the specific requirements for your visa category before submitting.
UK driving licence photos commonly use the same 35 x 45mm size, though the licensing authority may have its own separate rules around expression, glasses, or how recent the photo needs to be — check those separately.
You position a 35:45 crop box over your photo yourself, so frame your face to fill a similar proportion of the frame as a standard ID photo.
No — cropping and resizing both happen locally in your browser using the Canvas API, so your photo never leaves your device.
