Every country has specific passport photo and visa photo size requirements enforced by their government. The most common sizes are 35 × 45 mm (used by the United Kingdom, European Union, Pakistan, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and most Asian countries), 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm) (used by the United States, India, the Philippines, and Cuba), and 50 × 70 mm (used by Canada and Brazil). Our free Passport Size Photo Maker automatically resizes and crops your photo to the exact specifications needed.
Background colour also varies by country: most countries require a white or light grey background, while Indonesia requires red for passport photos and Sri Lanka uses light blue. Pakistan requires blue for CNIC/NICOP cards while passports use white. Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Gulf countries typically require a white background. Our AI-powered background removal tool handles this automatically — just select your country and the correct background is applied.
Since 2016, most countries no longer allow glasses in passport or visa photos. This includes the United States, United Kingdom, all EU/Schengen states, Pakistan, India, and Japan. Always check the specific requirements for your country and document type on the individual passport photo guidelines pages above.
