Passport Size Photo Maker
You upload a headshot to a form and it bounces back: wrong dimensions, file too big. A passport size photo has a fixed shape and a tight file limit, and a normal phone photo misses both by a wide margin.

Output is JPG, resized to your pixels and kept at or under the max KB. If a minimum is set, the file is padded up to it. Always confirm the exact rules in the official notification.

What counts as a passport size photo
The phrase "passport size" is not one single number. In print terms many countries ask for a 35x45 mm photo, while others use 2x2 inches, so the exact spec depends on where you are applying.
Online forms usually translate that print size into pixels and a kilobyte cap. A common starting point is around 413x531 pixels at a file size between 20 and 200 KB, but this varies by portal and country.
Treat these as commonly required values, not a guarantee. Always check the current official instructions on the form you are submitting to before you upload, since the spec can differ from what you see here.
Background, format, and getting both right
Most passport and ID photos want a plain white or light background and the face centred and clearly lit. Photograph yourself against a blank white wall, because this tool resizes and compresses but does not remove or replace a coloured background.
JPG is the safe default that nearly every photo system expects. To match a portal that fixes the pixels, resize to exact pixels first, then compress to a KB size so the file lands inside the allowed window.
If a form sets a minimum size as well as a maximum, a very small file can be rejected for being under the floor. In that case you can increase a too-small file to clear the lower limit.
