About this tool
The size for a Canadian visa is 35 x 45 mm, which is 1.38 x 1.77 inches - a portrait 7:9 crop. Drop a photo in and the frame is locked to it, so the output cannot come out the wrong size. Visa and study-permit applications use the smaller international size rather than the 50x70mm the passport itself needs - the two are easy to confuse and the wrong one delays the file. At print resolution that is 413 x 531 pixels for 300 DPI, or 827 x 1063 pixels where 600 is asked for. The 4x6 inch sheet download lays out 8 copies, which is what supermarket and pharmacy kiosks expect - one print instead of booth prices. 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 Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada 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 35 x 45 mm, so the wrong size cannot come out.
- DownloadTake the single photo at 413 x 531 pixels, or the 4x6 inch sheet with 8 copies ready to print.

Common uses
- Visitor, study and work visa applicants for Canada, preparing the photo before an appointment.
- Getting a correctly sized file for an application that needs an upload.
- Taking the photo at home when a studio visit is not practical.
- Printing a sheet at a supermarket kiosk instead of paying booth prices.
- 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 - 8 copies cost the same as one.
- Take several shots before cropping. Picking a good frame is far easier than rescuing a bad one.
- Check what Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada currently asks for before you go. Requirements are revised more often than people expect.
- Shoot against a plain, light wall in daylight, facing a window. Overhead light casts shadows under the eyes and on the wall behind you.
Mistakes to avoid
- Using a patterned or coloured background where a plain one is required.
- Scaling a small photo up to reach the pixel count. Start from the highest-resolution original you have.
- Submitting an old photo. Most authorities require one taken within the last six months.
- 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.
