About Germany Passport photos
A Germany Passport photo must be 35 × 45 mm with your face centred, a neutral expression and a plain light background. FileTinker crops to that exact ratio and exports at 413 × 531 px and 300 DPI so it prints at the right physical size.
Everything runs in your browser, so your photo stays private. If your country isn't listed, the main passport-photo tool covers more sizes — and you can always crop here, then print several copies on one 6 × 4 in photo at home or at a kiosk.
German applications use the biometric 35 × 45 mm standard — face 70–80% of the frame, neutral expression, plain light background. One caveat for domestic applications: since May 2025, German authorities accept passport photos only as digitally transmitted files from certified studios or photo terminals, so a self-made print may not be accepted at the Bürgeramt. Self-cropped photos remain useful for visas and other paperwork.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a Germany Passport photo?
A Germany Passport photo is 35 × 45 mm. FileTinker outputs it at exactly 413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI, which is the print resolution most authorities and photo labs expect.
What background colour will it have?
White by default — or pick off-white, light grey, light blue or a custom colour. Click Remove background in the tool first (the colour fills transparent areas); or take the photo against a plain light wall and keep your head and shoulders inside the oval guide.
Can I print it or upload it?
Yes. The 413 × 531 px, 300 DPI JPEG is sized for both — print it at 35 × 45 mm, or upload it wherever a digital Germany Passport photo is required.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is cropped and resized entirely in your browser; it never leaves your device.
Can I still bring my own photo to a German passport office?
Mostly no — since May 2025, passport and ID photos in Germany must reach the authority digitally through certified channels, and most offices no longer take self-printed photos. A correctly cropped biometric photo like this page produces is still handy for visa applications and other documents that accept uploads or prints.
