Create a precise 35 × 45 mm photo online
This page is only about 35 mm width by 45 mm height, so if your form named that size you can crop and print without reading through general passport photo guidance first.
Best when the form names the size
Produce an exact 35 × 45 mm crop, preview it, build a print sheet, and continue to the compressor if the portal also names a pixel size or a KB limit.
One size, done properly
Focused on 35 × 45 mm rather than mixing in every other document size.
413 × 531 px at 300 DPI
The same photo in pixels, for portals that specify resolution instead of millimetres.
Crop first, compress later
Frame the face at full quality, then reduce the file size only if a portal asks.
Privacy and upload note
- Your image is processed in your browser when supported. We do not ask for OTP or government login details.
- Always check the official portal requirement for dimensions, KB size, background and file format before final upload.
- This tool helps prepare the file, but final acceptance depends on the portal or department rules.
Check the final file once before uploading to the portal.
35 × 45 mm steps
- 1
Use this page when the form specifically prints 35 mm width and 45 mm height, or 3.5 × 4.5 cm.
- 2
Start with an image that has space around the hair, chin and shoulders so the crop can be positioned accurately.
- 3
Centre the face inside the frame without cutting the chin, hairline or shoulders too closely.
- 4
Download the sheet for printing, then use the compressor if the portal also names a pixel size or a KB limit.
35 × 45 mm Photo Maker FAQs
Clear answers for file preparation, printing, uploads and common document requirements.
What is a 35 × 45 mm photo?
It is the standard Indian passport size photo - 35 mm wide by 45 mm tall, the same as 3.5 × 4.5 cm. At 300 DPI it works out to 413 × 531 pixels.
Is 35 × 45 mm the same as 630 × 810 pixels?
They are the same shape but not the same measurement. Millimetres describe a printed size; pixels describe a digital image. 630 × 810 is the specific pixel size Passport Seva validates against, and it keeps the same 7:9 ratio as 35 × 45 mm.
Should I use this page or the main passport photo maker?
Use this page when the form clearly says 35 × 45 mm. Use the main passport size photo maker when you are still working out which size you need, or when you want the full workflow with background removal and sheet layout.
Can this create a printable 35 × 45 mm photo sheet?
Yes. After cropping you can arrange repeated copies on a sheet and download it for home or shop printing. Print at 100% scale so the physical size stays exact.
What if the portal also asks for a KB limit?
Crop here first, then compress. Compressing before cropping wastes the detail the crop is about to need.
Can I add name and date to a 35 × 45 mm photo?
Only when the form asks for it. Official passport, PAN and visa photos must be plain, and adding text causes a rejection.
Instructions
How to create a 35 × 45 mm photo
This page is for people who already know the size they need. Upload, crop to 35 × 45 mm, check the face position, and export once you have confirmed the form's other requirements.
Start with enough resolution
A sharp phone or camera photo keeps the 35 × 45 mm crop clear after printing. Cropping a small face out of a wide shot will not.
Do not cut the face too tight
Leave natural space around the head and shoulders unless the form gives a specific face-height rule.
Print size and upload size are different
A correct 35 × 45 mm print can still be the wrong pixel count or KB size for an online portal.
Export for whatever comes next
Download the sheet for printing, or compress the single image when a portal upload is the goal.
35 × 45 mm checks
Before you use the file
- Confirm the form really says 35 mm wide by 45 mm tall, not 45 × 35.
- Check whether the background must be white or just plain and light.
- Check whether the file is being printed or uploaded - the requirements differ.
- Check for a pixel size, DPI value or KB limit alongside the millimetres.
- Leave name and date off unless the form specifically asks for them.
35 × 45 mm in every other unit
The same photo, written the way different forms ask for it.
| Unit | Value | When you'll see it |
|---|---|---|
| Millimetres (mm) | 35 × 45 mm | The number most Indian forms print |
| Centimetres (cm) | 3.5 × 4.5 cm | Same size, written differently |
| Inches | 1.38 × 1.77 in | Rounded from 35 mm and 45 mm |
| Pixels at 200 DPI | 276 × 354 px | Low-end scan / older portal specs |
| Pixels at 300 DPI | 413 × 531 px | Standard print quality |
| Pixels at 600 DPI | 827 × 1063 px | High-resolution print, large file |
| Passport Seva upload | 630 × 810 px | Exact figure the portal validates against |
| Aspect ratio | 7 : 9 (35 : 45) | Keep this and every size above scales correctly |
A print size is not an upload size
A physical 35 × 45 mm print can be exactly right for a paper form and still be rejected by an online portal that wanted a specific pixel count or KB range. That is why this page hands you off to the compressor rather than pretending one export fits everything.
Continue from the 35 × 45 mm photo
Pick the next step based on what the form actually asks for.
Common mistakes
Too much compression
Very small KB targets can make faces, signatures or document text unclear.
Wrong dimensions
Many portals reject files when the KB is correct but pixel size or aspect ratio is wrong.
Skipping the final check
Open the final file once before upload so you catch blurry output or the wrong format.
Using portal-unapproved backgrounds
Some forms need white or plain backgrounds, even if the photo size is correct.
