Passport Photo Resizer

Are these presets guaranteed to be accepted?

Each preset is the size listed in the passport guide's table, converted to pixels at 300 DPI. The India and Pakistan sizes have not yet been confirmed against each authority's own specification, and every issuing authority sets the final rule and can change it. Requirements do change, and individual offices sometimes apply extra rules on background, expression or recency of the photo, so always confirm the current requirements with your issuing authority before submitting. To compare every preset side by side, the guide's table of passport photo sizes in pixels, inches and mm lists each one in all three units.

Why does the file need the correct DPI, not just the correct pixel size?

A photo printing service or an online application portal often reads the DPI value stored inside the file to work out the physical print size, not just the pixel count. Two files can share identical pixel dimensions but print at different physical sizes if their DPI differs, which is why this tool writes the DPI directly into the downloaded JPEG rather than leaving it at whatever default your camera or phone saved, a step a plain crop tool does not do.

Why does the tool show a head and shoulder guide?

Most passport and visa rules specify how much of the frame the head should fill and how centered it needs to be, not just the final pixel size. The guide overlay marks roughly where the top of the head, the eyes and the chin should sit within the crop, making it far easier to check the framing meets that rule before downloading than trying to judge it by eye against a plain rectangle.
