About this tool

Pakistan CNIC 35x45 mm photos are 35 x 45 mm - 1.38 x 1.77 inches, a portrait 7:9 frame. Upload any portrait, position the head inside the guide, and download a file cropped to exactly that. The same photo is normally used across a CNIC, a passport application and a number of government forms, so one good crop tends to be reused for years. 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. Nothing is uploaded. The crop happens on your own device, so your face never reaches a server - which matters more here than on most tools, because this photo goes onto an identity document. Requirements beyond the size - head height, background, expression, glasses - are set by NADRA 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

  1. Upload a portraitAny phone photo works. A plain wall and even, front-on light gives the best result - nothing is uploaded anywhere.
  2. 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.
  3. DownloadTake the single photo at 413 x 531 pixels, or the 4x6 inch sheet with 8 copies ready to print.

Key features

  • 4x6 inch print sheet with 8 copies, so one print gives you a full set.
  • Runs entirely in your browser - your photo never leaves your device.
  • Outputs 413 x 531 pixels at 300 DPI, which is what print shops ask for.
  • Crops to exactly 35 x 45 mm - the size NADRA requires.
  • Free, no signup, no watermark, no per-photo charge.

Common uses

  • Taking the photo at home when a studio visit is not practical.
  • Printing a sheet at a supermarket kiosk instead of paying booth prices.
  • NADRA CNIC and passport applicants, preparing the photo before an appointment.
  • Getting a correctly sized file for an application that needs an upload.
  • 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.
  • Check what NADRA currently asks for before you go. Requirements are revised more often than people expect.
  • Take several shots before cropping. Picking a good frame is far easier than rescuing a bad one.
  • Print on photo paper, not plain paper. A 35 x 45 mm photo on copier stock is usually rejected on sight.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Reusing a crop made for a different country. 35 x 45 mm is specific to a Pakistani CNIC, and a near-miss is still a rejection.
  • 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.
  • 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.
