How to Fix a Rejected Passport Photo
Check the Error Message
When a government portal rejects your photo, it usually tells you the required pixel dimensions (e.g. "413×531 px" or "width must be between 400-420 px"). Note these numbers.
Upload and Enter Target Width
Upload your passport photo above and enter the required width in pixels. The height adjusts automatically to preserve your photo's proportions — no stretching or distortion.
Download and Re-submit
Click "Resize Photo", then download. Upload the resized photo to the government portal — it should now pass the pixel dimension check.
This tool only resizes — it doesn't create compliant photos
For official passport and visa photos, you also need:
- Background removal — White or colored background as required
- Face detection & positioning — Correct head size and eye height
- Compliance validation — Automatic checks before submission
Frequently Asked Questions
Why was my passport photo rejected even though the size is correct?
Your photo is probably the right physical size (e.g. 35×45 mm) but the wrong pixel dimensions. Government portals like Korea's G4K or India's VFS check exact pixel counts, not physical measurements. A 35×45 mm photo at 600 DPI is 827×1063 px, but portals expect 413×531 px (300 DPI). Use this tool to resize to the exact pixels the portal requires.
What's the difference between mm size and pixel size for passport photos?
Millimeters describe the printed size. Pixels describe the digital file size. The same 35×45 mm photo can be 413×531 px (at 300 DPI) or 827×1063 px (at 600 DPI). Both print at the same physical size, but online portals enforce specific pixel ranges. If your photo is the right mm but wrong px, this tool fixes it.
How do I know the exact pixel size my country's portal requires?
Check the error message from the portal — it usually states the required dimensions. Common sizes: US passport 600×600 px, Korean passport 413×531 px, UK passport 413×531 px, Schengen visa 413×531 px, Indian passport 600×600 px. See the reference table above for more.
Will resizing my passport photo reduce its quality?
Scaling down (e.g. 827 px to 413 px) preserves quality — you're removing pixels, not adding them. Government portals typically require 300 DPI, which is plenty for a clear photo. You won't notice any quality loss.
My photo is 600×600 but the portal wants 413×531. Can I still use it?
No — those have different aspect ratios (1:1 vs 35:45). This tool preserves aspect ratio, so resizing a square photo will keep it square. You'll need a photo with the correct aspect ratio first. Use our $1 passport photo tool to generate a photo with the right proportions for your country, then resize here if needed.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your passport photo never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded, stored, or shared with any server.
