Passport photo sizes vary by country, but here are the most common specifications in pixels:

Standard passport photo sizes:

  • US passport: 2 × 2 inches = 600 × 600 pixels (at 300 DPI)
  • UK passport: 35 × 45 mm = 413 × 531 pixels (at 300 DPI)
  • India passport: 35 × 45 mm = 413 × 531 pixels (at 300 DPI)
  • EU/Schengen: 35 × 45 mm = 413 × 531 pixels (at 300 DPI)
  • China passport: 33 × 48 mm = 390 × 567 pixels (at 300 DPI)

For digital submissions, most countries require:

  • Resolution: 300 DPI minimum
  • File size: Usually between 10 KB to 240 KB
  • Format: JPEG is most common

The most universally accepted passport photo size is 35 × 45 mm (413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI), which works for most countries except the US.
