Drag so your face is centred with space above your head and your shoulders in view, then download. The file is 1200 × 1500 pixels, above the 600 × 750 minimum, ready to upload to the GOV.UK passport service, which checks it for you.

Good to know
PixOtter sizes and crops your photo but cannot check whether it meets every rule (lighting, expression, background). For paper UK passport forms, GOV.UK requires a professionally printed photo that is not cut from a larger picture, so use a booth or shop. Always check the current rules of the organisation you are applying to.
Passport Photo Maker, frequently asked questions
Can I use this for a UK passport application online?
Yes. The UK online passport service accepts a digital photo at least 600 × 750 pixels, between 50 KB and 10 MB. Choose UK online application and include your head, shoulders and upper body. The service checks the photo when you upload it.
Can I print my own UK passport photos?
GOV.UK says printed passport photos must be professionally printed and must not be cut down from a larger picture, so for a paper UK passport form use a photo booth or shop. The 35 × 45 mm sheet is useful for ID cards, travel passes, gym and work passes, and other forms that are less strict.
What size is a passport photo in the UK?
35 mm wide by 45 mm high, with your head (crown to chin) between 29 mm and 34 mm tall.
Why is there a red oval?
It shows where your head should be for printed formats: the top of your head at the top of the oval and your chin at the bottom. It is not included in the download.
Can I change the background to white?
No. Official photos must not be altered by software, so PixOtter does not edit the background. Take the photo against a plain light wall instead.
