Make an ID Photo

Make an ID photo from a picture you already have, cropped to resume, passport, or visa dimensions. Millimetre specs are converted to exact pixels at your chosen print resolution, and everything runs in your browser so your portrait is never uploaded.

ID photo size chart: millimetres and pixels

Specs are defined as print sizes in millimetres; the pixel count is derived from the resolution you print at. The pixel values below are exactly what this tool produces.

Driver's license35×45mm413×531px827×1063px
300 DPI is the common baseline for both printing and online submission. Print shops sometimes ask for 600 DPI. Passport and driver's licence share the same 3.5x4.5 cm size but differ on background and face-height rules, so check the issuing body's guidance as well.

How to use

  1. Drop your photo here or click to choose it.
  2. Pick the specification and print resolution. The resulting pixel size is shown immediately.
  3. Adjust the vertical position so the head is not cut off, then press fit to spec.

FAQ

What pixel dimensions does an ID photo need?
A standard 3x4 cm ID photo is about 354x472 pixels at 300 DPI, and a 3.5x4.5 cm passport photo is about 413x531 pixels. Specifications are defined in millimetres for print, and pixels are derived from the resolution, which is why this tool works from millimetres and converts.
Can it change the background to white?
This tool does not separate the subject from the background. The background color applies only to the padding created while matching the aspect ratio. Recoloring a background that is already in the photo requires a separate editing step.
Can I enlarge a small photo to meet the spec?
We don't recommend it. Upscaling can't add detail; it stretches the pixels you have and softens the result. Shrinking from a larger photo is fine. The output pixel size is displayed so you can compare it with your original.
Can it meet a file size limit too?
This tool focuses on the dimensions. To satisfy a job site's 100 to 200KB cap, fit the spec first and then set a target size in the image compression tool. Doing it in the other order gives a visibly worse result.
