Pakistan Passport Photo Maker
A Pakistani passport photo is 35 × 45 mm in portrait orientation on a plain white background. The Directorate General of Immigration & Passports (DGIP) and NADRA both use this ICAO-aligned size, and even a slightly off-white background can cause rejection. Our free tool crops to 35 × 45 mm in your browser.

Official Pakistan passport photo requirements
Pakistani passports are handled by the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports (DGIP), with online applications on the DGIP portal (onlinemrp.dgip.gov.pk) and biometric data linked to your NADRA CNIC. The accepted photo is 35 × 45 mm, portrait, on a strictly plain white background.
The face should fill roughly 70–80% of the frame — about 31 to 36 mm from chin to crown — with a neutral expression, mouth closed and both eyes open, looking straight at the camera. Glasses are best avoided; if worn, they must have no glare, no tint and no frames covering the eyes. The photo should be recent, taken within the last six months.
| Requirement | Specification |

| Photo size | 35 × 45 mm, portrait |
| Digital size (px @ 300 DPI) | 413 × 531 px; DGIP online portal may request higher-res JPEG |
| Background | Plain white (slight off-white can trigger rejection) |
| Head height | About 31–36 mm from chin to crown (face fills 70–80%) |
| Recency | Taken within the last 6 months |
| Glasses | Best avoided; no glare, tint or frames covering the eyes |

Getting the digital size right for online applications
On the DGIP online passport portal you upload a JPEG on a white background. A 35 × 45 mm print at 300 DPI is 413 × 531 pixels, and some portals request 600 DPI (around 827 × 1063 pixels) for sharper detail. Because your passport photo is sensitive personal data tied to your identity, our tool crops and resizes it directly on your device — the file is never uploaded to us.

Frequently asked questions
What background does a Pakistani passport photo need?
Plain white. Even slightly off-white or cream backgrounds can trigger rejection on the DGIP portal, so aim for pure white.
Is the NADRA photo the same size as the passport photo?
Both NADRA CNIC/NICOP and DGIP passport photos use the 35 × 45 mm portrait format on a white background, so one compliant photo generally works for both.
Can I wear glasses in a Pakistani passport photo?
It's best to remove them. If worn, lenses must be glare-free and untinted and frames must not cover the eyes.
