Passport photo pixels
Passport photo size in pixels
Pixel size depends on the country, portal, and whether the photo is digital or printed. Use this guide to choose the right Kodotools preset before you crop and download.
Digital
Pixels matter online
Online portals validate pixel dimensions, file type, and file size. Pakistan DGIP, for example, lists 350 x 467 px.
Millimeters need DPI
A printed size like 35 x 45 mm or 2 x 2 inches becomes pixels only after choosing print resolution, commonly 300 DPI.
Safety
Rules are more than size
Face position, glasses, lighting, expression, shadows, and background are still controlled by the official photo rules.

How to choose
Digital passport photos are not all the same
If the official rule gives exact pixels, use those exact pixels. If the rule gives inches or millimeters, decide whether you are making a print sheet or a digital upload.
For online uploads, pixels and file size matter most. For printed photos, ask the photo shop for the paper size and print resolution, then use a print-sheet export.
