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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is a Canadian passport photo?
50×70 mm (5×7 cm), which is larger than the US 2×2 inch or UK/Schengen 35×45 mm photo. This tool crops your image to that exact proportion on a white background so it prints correctly.
Can I upload a digital photo for a Canadian passport?
No. IRCC requires two identical printed photos taken or printed to the 50×70 mm specification, not an online upload. Use this tool to crop and size the image, then print two copies at the exact dimensions.
Is there a file-size limit for a Canada passport photo?
There's no KB limit because you don't upload the photo — you submit prints. This tool therefore focuses on getting the 50×70 mm print dimensions and white background right rather than compressing the file.
How large should the head be in a Canadian passport photo?
Between 31 mm and 36 mm from chin to the top of the head (crown). This tool crops so your head sits in that range within the 50×70 mm frame; a photographer can also print with the guide lines on the back.
Is my photo private?
Yes. The crop and white-background fill happen on a canvas in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device before you print it.
