UK Passport Photo
Crop any photo to the official UK passport size — 35×45mm (600×750px) — with a head-position guide, free and processed entirely in your browser.
About the UK Passport Photo Cropper
A UK passport photo must be exactly 35×45mm (minimum 600×750 pixels digitally), with head height between 29mm and 34mm from chin to crown — HMPO rejects photos that miss these numbers even slightly. This tool crops your photo to the exact required dimensions and overlays a head-height guide.
This is a dimensions-and-positioning tool, not an automatic compliance checker — it doesn't verify background color, remove shadows, or confirm expression. What it guarantees is the exact pixel dimensions HMPO requires, done for free, entirely in your browser.
How to Crop a UK Passport Photo
Step 1
Upload your photo
Drag and drop a photo taken against a plain light grey or cream background (not pure white).
Step 2
Position using the guide
Line your chin and the top of your head up with the overlay guide, then crop to 35×45mm.
Step 3
Download your photo
Save your photo at 600×750 pixels, ready to submit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this guarantee my photo will be accepted?
No — it guarantees exact dimensions and head positioning, but not background, lighting, or expression, which HMPO also requires. Review full requirements at gov.uk before submitting.
Why does the background need to be grey or cream, not white?
UK photos specifically require light grey or cream — pure white is actually one of the most common rejection reasons there, unlike countries that require white.
What's the head size requirement?
Chin to crown between 29mm and 34mm — the on-screen guide reflects this range.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser.
