Passport & ID Photo Tools

Passport, visa, and ID photo requirements are strict: exact pixel dimensions, tight file-size windows, plain backgrounds, and head height measured to the millimetre. This page is the single reference for every spec ExactFile enforces — US passport (2×2 in, 600×600 px), US visa and DV lottery (600×600 px, ≤240 KB), UK (35×45 mm), and Indian exam and ID photos (PAN, SSC, UPSC, IBPS, Aadhaar) with their signature sizes. Each spec below is verified against the issuing authority's published requirements, and every tool checks the output against the official window before you download — free, no sign-up, files auto-deleted in 30 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a US passport photo?

2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm), head 1–1⅜ inches from chin to crown, printed at 600 x 600 px for digital submission. The US Passport Photo Tool handles all of this automatically.

Can I take my own passport photo?

Yes — both the US State Department and UK HMPO accept self-taken photos that meet the requirements. Plain background, even lighting, neutral expression.

What's the difference between passport and visa photos?

Many countries use the same photo for both. US visas use 2x2 in like passports; DV Lottery entries need 600x600 px squares; UK visas follow the 35x45 mm standard.

How do I know my photo meets the spec?

Run it through the Passport Photo Validator first — it checks dimensions, head size, and background before you upload to the official portal.

How many KB should a PAN card photo be?

NSDL/UTI PAN applications require the photo under 20 KB at 213x276 px (200 DPI). The PAN Card Photo Resizer verifies the output is inside the limit before download.

What is the DV lottery photo size?

A square 600x600 px JPEG (minimum; larger squares are accepted) under 240 KB with a plain background — the DV Lottery Photo Tool checks all of this automatically.

What size is a signature for SSC, IBPS or PAN forms?

140x60 px for SSC/IBPS/PAN (10–20 KB, or 5–20 KB for PAN) and 350x150 px (20–100 KB) for UPSC. There's a dedicated verified signature resizer for each exam.

Do these tools work on a phone?

Yes — every tool runs in the browser on any device. Take the photo with your phone, upload it, and download the compliant result. No app install needed.

Are these passport and ID photo tools free?

Yes — all of them, with no sign-up and no daily limits. Competitors cap free passport-photo conversions; we don't.
