Passport Size Photo Maker (3.5 × 4.5 cm)

"Passport size photo" is the everyday term used across Indian exam and job forms for a 3.5×4.5 cm colour photo on a plain white background — the same proportion as a passport photo but usually needed as a tiny 20–50 KB upload rather than for a travel document. Recruitment portals like SSC, UPSC, IBPS and state exam boards pair this photo with an even smaller signature image and reject anything above their KB cap, so a normal phone photo is far too heavy. This tool crops to the 3.5×4.5 cm / 413×531 px shape on a white background and compresses to the 20–50 KB range those forms expect, in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a passport-size photo in cm and pixels?
3.5×4.5 cm (35×45 mm), which at 300 DPI is about 413×531 pixels — the size this tool outputs. It's the same proportion as an Indian passport photo but is most often needed as a small file for online forms.
How do I get a passport-size photo under 50 KB?
Crop it to 3.5×4.5 cm and compress the JPEG. This tool does both, targeting the 20–50 KB window that most Indian exam and recruitment portals set, without you needing separate software.
Is a passport-size photo the same as a passport photo?
They share the 35×45 mm proportion and white background, but a travel passport photo goes to Passport Seva at a larger file size, while a "passport-size photo" for exams is usually a tiny 20–50 KB upload. This page is tuned for the small exam/job-form version.
What background should a passport-size photo have?
A plain white background is the safe default for exam and job forms. This tool fills white; still photograph yourself against a light, evenly lit wall to avoid shadows.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The crop and compression run on a canvas in your browser, so your photo stays on your device and is never sent to us.
