FAQ
What size is a UK passport photo?
The official UK passport photo size is 35x45 mm (3.5x4.5 cm, about 1.38x1.77 inches, or 413x531 px at 300 DPI). The head must measure 29-34 mm from chin to crown. Our tool exports these exact dimensions automatically.
What are the background requirements for a British passport photo?
UK requirements specify a plain light grey or cream background. A pure white background is not accepted, so the tool generates a compliant light grey background for you that meets the official spec.
Can I use a selfie or phone photo to meet the requirements?
Yes. Take a clear, front-facing photo against a plain wall in good light, then upload it. The tool auto-crops your face to the 29-34 mm head height and sets the correct 35x45 mm size and background automatically.
Is the UK passport photo maker really free and private?
Completely. There is no charge and no sign-up, and the entire process runs 100% in your browser - your photo is never uploaded to any server, so nothing leaves your device. You just download or print the finished photo.
