UK Passport photo
Upload a photo and crop it to the exact UK 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.

About UK Passport photos
A UK 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.
HM Passport Office wants a 35 × 45 mm photo with the head between 29 and 34 mm from chin to crown, shot against a plain cream or light-grey background — pure white is not what UK guidance asks for. This tool crops to the exact frame but does not recolor your backdrop, so photograph against the right background from the start.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a UK Passport photo?
A UK 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 UK Passport photo is required.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is cropped and resized entirely in your browser; it never leaves your device.
What background does a UK passport photo need?
Officially a plain cream or light-grey background. This tool crops your photo to the exact 35 × 45 mm frame but does not change the backdrop, so stand in front of a plain light-grey or cream wall when you take the picture.
