About this tool
The size for a UAE passport is 40 x 50 mm, which is 1.57 x 1.97 inches - a portrait 4:5 crop. Drop a photo in and the frame is locked to it, so the output cannot come out the wrong size. 40x50mm is another size unique to one country, and residency paperwork in the UAE often asks for multiple copies across separate forms. The file works out at 472 x 591 pixels at 300 DPI and 945 x 1181 pixels at 600. There is also a 4x6 sheet with 6 copies on it, so a single kiosk print gives you the whole set. The image never leaves your computer. Cropping runs in the browser, which is the right default for a photo destined for a passport or an ID card. Requirements beyond the size - head height, background, expression, glasses - are set by the UAE Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship and do change. Check the current rules before you submit; this tool gets the dimensions exactly right, but it cannot know what was amended last month.
How to use this tool
- Upload a portraitAny phone photo works. A plain wall and even, front-on light gives the best result - nothing is uploaded anywhere.
- Position the headUse zoom and the position sliders until the head sits inside the guide. The crop is locked to 40 x 50 mm, so the wrong size cannot come out.
- DownloadTake the single photo at 472 x 591 pixels, or the 4x6 inch sheet with 6 copies ready to print.

Common uses
- Printing a sheet at a supermarket kiosk instead of paying booth prices.
- UAE passport and residency applicants, preparing the photo before an appointment.

- Taking the photo at home when a studio visit is not practical.
- Re-cropping a photo an online form rejected for being the wrong size.
Tips for better results
- Download the sheet rather than the single photo if you are printing - 6 copies cost the same as one.
- Print on photo paper, not plain paper. A 40 x 50 mm photo on copier stock is usually rejected on sight.
- Take several shots before cropping. Picking a good frame is far easier than rescuing a bad one.
- Check what the UAE Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship currently asks for before you go. Requirements are revised more often than people expect.
Mistakes to avoid
- Cropping the head too large or too small. Head height is a separate requirement from photo size, and it is the most common reason for rejection.
- Reusing a crop made for a different country. 40 x 50 mm is specific to a UAE passport, and a near-miss is still a rejection.
- Submitting an old photo. Most authorities require one taken within the last six months.
- Using a patterned or coloured background where a plain one is required.
