How to Resize a Photo to Passport Size Online for Free (2×2 in, 35×45mm)
Passport photos have specific size requirements that vary by country — the US uses 2×2 inches, most of Europe and India use 35×45mm, and each has requirements for background colour, face coverage, and file size. Getting the dimensions exactly right matters, because even a slightly off-size photo gets rejected. Here's how to resize and crop any photo to the correct passport size online for free.

Step 2 — Resize to exact pixel dimensions:
Go to the image resizer, upload the cropped photo, and enter the exact dimensions:
• US passport: 600×600 pixels (2×2 in at 300 DPI)
• 35×45mm at 300 DPI: 413×531 pixels
• 51×51mm at 300 DPI: 600×600 pixels
Step 3 — Compress if needed:
Most photo services and government portals have a file size limit (typically 500 KB to 1 MB). Use the JPG compressor if your photo exceeds the size limit.
Passport Photo Background Requirements
All countries require a plain, light background — typically white or off-white. If your photo has a coloured or busy background, use the background changer to replace it with white (#FFFFFF). This also works if you have a light grey background and need pure white, or vice versa.

Can You Print Passport Photos at Home?
Yes — once you have the correctly sized and cropped file, you can print at home on photo paper (glossy finish, not matte) using a colour inkjet printer. Print at 300 DPI or higher. For a 2×2 inch photo, set up a 4×6 inch template with 4 copies arranged to maximise the paper. Cut with scissors along printed guide lines.
Alternatively, take the digital file to a pharmacy (Walgreens, CVS, Boots in the UK, or any photo printing shop in India) and request passport photo printing — they print on proper photo paper for a small fee.
