New Zealand Passport photo
Upload a photo and crop it to the exact New Zealand Passport size (35 × 45 mm). FileTinker outputs it at 413 × 531 px and a true 300 DPI on a plain background — white by default, or any colour you pick — ready to print or upload. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

How to make a New Zealand Passport photo
- Upload a clear, front-facing photo — or click Remove background in the tool and pick a plain backdrop colour.
- Drag the crop box so your head and shoulders fit inside the oval guide — it's locked to the New Zealand Passport aspect ratio.
- Click create and download your 35 × 45 mm photo at 413 × 531 px, ready to print or upload.
About New Zealand Passport photos
A New Zealand 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.
New Zealand runs one of the most digital passport processes anywhere: online applications upload a portrait digital photo (roughly 900 × 1200 px or larger), while paper forms take the printed 35 × 45 mm photo this page produces, with the head between 32 and 36 mm.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a New Zealand Passport photo?
A New Zealand 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 New Zealand 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 use this photo for the NZ online passport application?
The online system wants a portrait-orientation digital photo of at least roughly 900 × 1200 pixels, so upload your original photo there rather than this 413 × 531 px print crop. Use this page when filing the paper form, which takes a printed 35 × 45 mm photo.
