How to make a Nepal passport photo in 3 steps

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

1

Upload any photo of yourself

Use your phone or webcam against any background — a plain wall, a cluttered room, an office. The tool segments you from whatever is behind you, so you don't need a plain white backdrop before shooting.

2

Background is removed and replaced

The AI detects your face and body, removes the original background, and composites you onto the plain white required for Nepal passport applications. Hair and clothing edges are preserved.

3

Auto-crop to 35×45mm and download

Your face is auto-positioned within the 35×45mm frame at 300 DPI, and the output JPEG stays under 240 KB. Drag the crop box to fine-tune the position if needed.

Understanding the Nepal passport spec

Nepali e-passport photographs follow the machine-readable standard of 35×45mm in colour on a plain white background, with the head 29-34mm from chin to crown. For applications made inside Nepal at a District Administration Office or the Department of Passports, your photograph and biometrics are captured on site as part of enrolment, so the print you bring is for the application form and supporting file rather than for the passport itself. For applications lodged at a Nepali embassy or consulate abroad, supplied photographs carry more weight and the 35×45mm spec is applied more strictly.

Where Nepal passport photos are actually used

35×45mm on white is the most widely shared passport photo format in the world, which works in your favour: the same photo generally satisfies Indian, Sri Lankan, Gulf state and Southeast Asian visa applications that Nepali passport holders commonly make. The 29-34mm head range is at the smaller end of the international spread, so a photo made to the Nepali spec tends to be accepted by countries wanting 30-36mm, while the reverse is not always true.

Applications that accept this photo spec

  • Nepal e-passport application at a District Administration Office
  • Passport renewal and reissue applications
  • Applications at a Nepali embassy or consulate abroad
  • Supporting documents for citizenship certificate applications
  • Visa and labour permit applications made on a Nepali passport

Nepal passport photo FAQ

Is my photo taken at the District Administration Office?
For e-passport applications made inside Nepal, yes — photograph and biometrics are captured during enrolment. The printed photo you bring is for the application form and file. Applications through an embassy or consulate abroad rely on supplied photographs, so the specification matters more there.

Can I use the same photo for Indian or Gulf visa applications?
Usually yes. 35×45mm on a white background is the most common international format, and the Nepali 29-34mm head height sits within the range most countries accept. The exceptions to check are the United States and Saudi Arabia, which want 2×2 inches, and Malaysia at 35×50mm.

What size is a Nepal passport photo?
35×45mm (1.38×1.77 inches) at 300 DPI, on a plain white background. The head must measure 29-34mm from chin to the top of the head.

What background color does Nepal require for passport photos?
Plain white. Photos on the wrong background — cream, beige, colored, or textured — are the most common reason for rejection. This tool automatically replaces your background with the correct one.

Can I take a Nepal passport photo with my phone?
Yes. Modern phone cameras produce more than enough resolution for the 35×45mm 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. Your photo is processed in memory and never stored on disk. The AI background removal runs server-side (the model is too large for a browser), but the input image is discarded immediately after processing. Nothing is logged, saved, or shared.

Can I print the Nepal passport photo at home?
Yes. The output is a 300 DPI JPEG at exactly 35×45mm, 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 required for basic use. Guests get 2 photos per day; free accounts get 3 per day. For higher volume, Pro plans unlock unlimited photos.

What if the background removal is not perfect?
The AI handles hair, clothing edges, and skin tones well for the vast majority of photos. If you see an edge artifact, try re-uploading with better lighting — indirect natural light from a window works best. You can also skip the background swap and crop only.
