SandraWhat Size Is a Passport Size Photo?
Getting the dimensions wrong is the #1 reason passport photos get rejected. Whether you need a photo for a US passport, visa, or government ID, the exact size depends on the issuing country — but most follow a standard.
Quick-Reference: Passport Photo Dimensions
| Country / Document | Print Size | Pixels (min–max) | Head Height |
|---|---|---|---|
| US Passport | 2 x 2 in (51 x 51 mm) | 600 x 600 – 1200 x 1200 | 25–35 mm |
| US Visa / Green Card | 2 x 2 in (51 x 51 mm) | 600 x 600 – 1200 x 1200 | 25–35 mm |
| UK Passport | 35 x 45 mm | 600 x 750 (recommended) | 29–34 mm |
| Indian Passport | 2 x 2 in (51 x 51 mm) | 600 x 600 | 25–35 mm |
| Canada Passport | 50 x 70 mm | 600 x 840 | 31–36 mm |
| Schengen Visa | 35 x 45 mm | 600 x 750 | 32–36 mm |
| China Visa | 33 x 48 mm | 354 x 472 – 420 x 560 | 28–33 mm |
Understanding Head-to-Frame Ratio
Size alone isn't enough — your head must fill the correct proportion of the frame. For a US 2x2 passport photo, the head (chin to crown) must measure 1 to 1-3/8 inches (25–35 mm). Eyes should sit between 1-1/8 and 1-3/8 inches from the bottom edge.
If your head is too small or too large within the frame, your photo will be rejected even if the overall dimensions are correct.
Digital vs. Print Dimensions
When applying online, you need the digital pixel dimensions, not the print size. The relationship:
- 2 x 2 inches at 300 DPI = 600 x 600 pixels (minimum accepted)
- 2 x 2 inches at 600 DPI = 1200 x 1200 pixels (maximum accepted)
- File size: 54 KB to 10 MB for US online applications
- Format: JPEG or HEIF
For print applications, the physical size matters. A 2x2 inch photo is exactly 51 x 51 mm — not 50x50mm, which is a common mistake.
