Crop Passport Photos 2x3, 3x4, and 4x6
Passport photos have stricter composition rules than social media photos. The face must be clearly visible, head proportions balanced, and the background unobtrusive. Many forms also specify the ratio and file size. This page helps you crop a photo to a passport photo ratio, then adjust the size and quality so it is ready to upload. Check the final result on a computer before sending. Keep an original copy so you can make other size versions, and read the upload requirements before cropping. Save the template for other forms.

Quick guide
How it works Crop Passport Photos 2x3, 3x4, and 4x6
-
Choose a photo with the face toward the camera
Use a bright photo that is not tilted and has no heavy shadows. Make sure the eyes are open and the face is not covered by hair or accessories.
-
Crop with a passport photo ratio
Choose 2:3 for a 2 × 3 photo, 3:4 for 3 × 4, or adjust to the form requirements. Place the face in the center with a little space above the head and at the shoulders.
-
Resize and compress
After cropping, set the dimensions as requested, then compress the JPG if the file exceeds the limit. Check the result on a small screen so the face stays sharp.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which ratio is used for a 3x4 passport photo?
A 3 × 4 passport photo uses a 3:4 ratio. However, form requirements can differ, so read the upload instructions carefully.
Does the background have to be blue or red?
Follow the agency requirements. This tool crops and resizes; to change the background, use a photo editor that supports background selection.
What is a safe passport photo file size?
Many forms limit files to 200–500 KB. Compress the JPG after the dimensions are correct, and do not lower quality so far that the face is hard to recognize.
Can a passport photo be made from a selfie?
Yes, if the face is toward the camera, the lighting is even, and the background is not busy. However, selfies often distort facial proportions, so a photo taken by someone else is usually safer for official documents.
