How the conversion works
Pixels depend on resolution. Divide the size in millimetres by 25.4 to get inches, then multiply by the DPI (dots per inch). At the 300 DPI used for photo prints, 1 inch is 300 pixels, so a 2×2 inch photo is 600×600 pixels and a 35×45 mm photo is 413×531 pixels.
Once your photo is the right size, the 4×6 print sheet maker tiles it at that exact size for cheap printing, and the free photo checker spots common problems before you submit. For every country's head size and measurements, see the passport photo measurements guide.
Frequently asked questions
How many pixels is a 2×2 inch photo?
600 × 600 pixels at 300 DPI, or 1200 × 1200 pixels at 600 DPI. The US State Department accepts digital visa photos from 600×600 up to 1200×1200 pixels.
What is 35×45 mm in pixels?
413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI, or 827 × 1063 pixels at 600 DPI.
How do I convert mm to pixels?
Divide the size in millimetres by 25.4 to get inches, then multiply by the DPI. For example, 35 mm ÷ 25.4 × 300 = 413 pixels.
Should I use 300 or 600 DPI?
300 DPI is the standard for photo prints and is enough for passport photos. Some consulates, such as German missions for visa photos, ask for prints of at least 600 DPI.
Is the digital upload size the same as the print size?
Not always. Online applications often set their own pixel and file-size limits, for example the UK asks for at least 600 × 750 pixels. Check the document page for the exact upload limits.
