Canada Passport Photo Maker (50 × 70 mm)
A Canadian passport photo is 50×70 mm — larger than almost every other country's — and, importantly, IRCC does not accept a digital upload: you submit two identical printed photos taken by a commercial photographer or printed to the exact size. Because it's print-only, there is no file-size limit to worry about; what matters is that the printed dimensions are precise, the background is plain white, and the head measures 31–36 mm from chin to crown. This tool crops and sizes your image to a true 50×70 mm proportion on a white background so you can print two accurate copies at home or at a photo shop.

Good to know
- Crops to the 50×70 mm proportion — Canada's passport size, larger than the US or UK photo.
- Print-only: IRCC takes two printed photos, not a digital upload, so there is no KB limit here.
- Fills a plain white (#ffffff) background with the head 31–36 mm chin-to-crown.
- Print the saved image at exactly 50×70 mm without stretching, then cut two identical copies.
- Runs on your device: your photo is never uploaded and no account is required.
