Official Spain passport photo requirements
Spanish passports and the DNI national ID are issued by the Dirección General de la Policía under the Ministerio del Interior, with appointments booked online and photos taken to a Policía Nacional office. The standardized size is 26 × 32 mm, which is smaller than the 35 × 45 mm common elsewhere in Europe.
The background must be uniform white with even lighting and nothing visible behind you, and the head must be uncovered and facing forward. The face should occupy about 70–80% of the frame — roughly 20–25 mm of face height — with a small margin, around 2 mm, above the head. Keep a neutral expression, and avoid sunglasses or anything that obscures your eyes or hinders identification.

Getting the digital size right for online applications
Because the Spanish format is compact, a 26 × 32 mm photo at 300 DPI is about 307 × 378 pixels, while working at 600 DPI for a sharp print gives roughly 615 × 756 pixels. If you're preparing a file for a form or a print shop, target those dimensions. As a passport photo is sensitive personal data, our tool crops and resizes it entirely on your own device — it is never uploaded to any server.
