India, UK, Canada Passport Photo Sizes

Passport photo sizes differ by country. Reusing an India 35×45 mm file for a Canada print, or a UK digital upload with the wrong KB cap, is a common rejection.

Quick comparison

Country	Common print / prep	Typical notes
India	35 × 45 mm	Light background; digital often ~10–200 KB
UK	35 × 45 mm	Light / cream-grey acceptable in many cases; digital caps vary
Canada	Often 50 × 70 mm print	White background; confirm IRCC / passport office guidance
US (bonus)	2 × 2 inches	See US passport pipeline

Each guides framing, then exports a JPG sized for that country’s common prep target. Confirm the official application text before you submit.

Practical pipeline (any country)

1. Sharp, recent photo on a plain light background.
2. Open the country tool above; frame the face.
3. Check print mm/inches and digital KB.
4. Compress further only if the portal’s max KB is tighter (Compress Image).
5. Keep masters; upload/print only the processed copy.

DV Lottery and US 2×2 rules are different again (square digital specs). Do not mix those pipelines with 35×45 mm India/UK exports — see DV Lottery 600×600.

Privacy

Passport photos are identity documents. TryQuickImg crops and compresses in the browser so files are not uploaded to our servers for processing during prep.

FAQ

Is 35×45 mm OK for Canada?

Usually no for the final print size — Canada commonly uses a larger print. Follow the Canada tool / IRCC checklist.

Same photo for UK visa and UK passport?

Often similar 35×45 mm rules, but each route’s background and digital limits can differ — verify both.

Do I need a studio?

A correct DIY photo can work; studios fail less on print quality. Digital-only uploads care more about pixels, KB, and composition.

Are my photos uploaded to TryQuickImg?

No. Processing stays local.
