how to uk passport photo maker (35 × 45 mm)
- drop a front-facing portrait with even light and the head fully visible.
- choose the country size and, if you like, tick the ai background option.
- use zoom and the move sliders to fit the head to the guide oval.
- download the single photo, or pick a paper size and the number of copies for a print sheet.
a uk passport photo is 35 mm wide and 45 mm high, with the head between 29 and 34 mm from chin to crown. the background must be plain cream or light grey, with no shadows or texture. white is not accepted for uk passports, so choose a light grey color for the background if you use the ai background option.
the same 35 × 45 mm size is used across the eu, schengen visas, australia and many other countries, so this preset also works for those. note that the uk online application asks for a digital photo of at least 600 × 750 pixels, which is larger than this 35 × 45 mm print file at 300 dpi, so for the online form upload your original selfie and use this tool for paper prints.
