Auto-sized for UK Passport / Visa
A UK Passport / Visa photo must be 35×45mm (413×531 pixels at 300 DPI) with a light grey or cream background. The file size should be under 10240KB and at least 50KB, saved as a JPEG. The face should occupy 29-34mm chin to crown of the frame. 35x45mm, plain light background, no smiling. This tool crops your photo to these exact dimensions and compresses it to the required file size automatically, entirely in your browser.
To make a UK Passport / Visa photo at home: take a clear, front-facing photo against a plain light grey or cream wall in even lighting, upload it to this tool, adjust the crop so your face fills 29-34mm chin to crown of the frame, and download. The tool outputs the exact 413×531px size and compresses under 10240KB so it is accepted by the official portal. No studio visit or payment is needed, and your photo never leaves your device.
The most common reasons a UK Passport / Visa photo is rejected are: wrong dimensions (not 35×45mm), file size over 10240KB, a non-light background, shadows on the face or background, wearing glasses or head coverings, a non-neutral expression, or an old photo. 35x45mm, plain light background, no smiling. Using a tool pre-configured to the exact UK specification removes the size and dimension errors, which are the most frequent causes of rejection.
