How to make a Bangladesh passport photo in 3 steps

Upload any photo of yourself, and the tool handles the entire Bangladesh passport spec pipeline, background removal, colour swap, spec-exact crop, file-size compression, in one pass.

1

Start from a photo you already have

A phone shot against any wall works, because the background gets replaced. Bangladesh accepts a photo taken within the last 6 months, so an older picture will not pass. Remove glasses before you shoot: they are rejected.

2

Background replaced with plain white

Your outline, including hair and clothing edges, is separated from the original photo and composited onto the plain white that Bangladesh requires for a passport.

3

Cropped to 45×55mm at 300 DPI

That is 531×650 pixels (1.77×2.17 inches). The head is placed 35-45mm from chin to crown, 64-82% of the frame height. Drag the crop box if you want the face sitting differently in the frame.

Understanding the Bangladesh passport spec

The Bangladesh e-passport uses 45×55mm, an unusually large format, bigger than the international 35×45mm standard and bigger than almost any other national requirement, with the head 35-45mm from chin to crown on a plain white background. Two legacy issues cause most of the trouble. Applicants and photo studios routinely produce 35×45mm out of habit, which is too small. And the older machine-readable passport used a light blue background, which is still what many studios and older guides default to. The e-passport wants white.

Where Bangladesh passport photos are actually used

Because 45×55mm is a size almost nobody else uses, a Bangladeshi photo has to be made specifically: you cannot reuse a print from another application, and you cannot enlarge a 35×45mm photo to fit, because that either distorts your face or pushes the head outside the 35-45mm range. Work from the original image and crop to 45×55mm directly. Note also that e-passport enrolment at a Regional Passport Office captures your photograph and biometrics on site, so the print is primarily for the application form and file.

Applications that accept this photo spec

  • Bangladesh e-passport application through the DIP
  • Passport renewal and reissue applications
  • Applications lodged at a Bangladeshi mission abroad
  • Supporting documents for NID and birth registration matters
  • Visa and labour permit applications made on a Bangladeshi passport

Bangladesh passport photo FAQ

Is the Bangladesh passport photo 35×45mm or 45×55mm?

45×55mm for the e-passport. 35×45mm is the international standard and what most photo studios produce by default, which makes it the single most common reason a Bangladeshi application is sent back. Ask for 45×55mm specifically.

White or blue background for a Bangladesh e-passport photo?

White. Light blue came from the earlier machine-readable passport specification and is still offered by many studios and repeated in older guides, but the e-passport requires a plain white background.

What size is a Bangladesh passport photo?

45×55mm (1.77×2.17 inches) at 300 DPI, on a plain white background. The head must measure 35-45mm from chin to the top of the head.

What background color does Bangladesh require for passport photos?

Plain white. A background that does not match, the wrong shade, a gradient, a shadow cast behind you, or any visible texture or pattern, is one of the most common reasons a photo is sent back. This tool replaces whatever is behind you with the one the spec asks for.

Can I take a Bangladesh passport photo with my phone?

Yes. Modern phone cameras produce more than enough resolution for the 45×55mm output. What matters is even lighting (no harsh shadows on your face), a straight-on angle, and a neutral expression. This tool handles the background and sizing.

What file size does this tool produce?

The output JPEG is kept under 240 KB while preserving the 300 DPI resolution the spec requires. Upload limits vary between government portals and consulates, so check the one you are filing through: if it caps lower, use our Image Compressor to reduce further.

Is my uploaded photo saved on your servers?

No. It is processed in memory and discarded as soon as the result is produced. The background model runs on the server because it is too large to run in a browser; nothing is written to disk or logged.

Can I print the Bangladesh passport photo at home?

Yes. The output is a 300 DPI JPEG at exactly 45×55mm, so any inkjet or laser printer produces the correct physical size when you print at 100% scale (not "fit to page"). Use the 4×6 print sheet option to get multiple copies on one sheet of photo paper.

Do I need to sign up or pay?

No sign-up. Making the photo and checking it against the spec is free, guests get 2 a day and a free account 5 a day, 10 a month. The finished photo without the watermark is $3, paid once, or included on Pro and Business plans.

What if the background removal is not perfect?

Hair, clothing edges and skin tones come out cleanly in most photos. If an edge looks wrong, re-shoot in indirect daylight, or skip the background swap and use the crop alone.
