Passport photo for Italy: 35 × 45 mm
This is the frame used for Italian Schengen visas, national D visas and the VFS Global centres that handle Italy’s applications. Drop a normal photo above and the editor opens with two steps already prepared: a crop locked to the 35 × 45 mm shape, and a resize fixed at 413 × 531 px. Drag the frame over the face, then download — the result is the exact size the form expects, and PIXLFLW never sends the picture anywhere. Everything runs inside your browser.
What makes this size different
Italian consulates ask for a 35 × 45 mm colour photo on a white background — grey passes in Berlin, not here — and refuse anything scanned or photocopied. That rule is really about where the file comes from: it has to be exported from the original picture, which is what a browser crop does, rather than printed and put through a scanner. Black and white is not accepted either.
Crop, do not stretch
The single most common mistake is forcing a rectangular phone photo into the document box, which widens or narrows the face until an official checker rejects it. Cropping cuts a correctly shaped piece out of the photo instead, and the locked ratio here makes any other outcome impossible. Leave a little space above the head, keep the eyes in the upper half of the frame and the head roughly centred left to right.
Printing and dpi
413 × 531 px is 35 × 45 mm at 300 dpi, the resolution photo labs print at. A file with those pixel dimensions prints at the correct physical size without any scaling, and it is also what an online form means when it asks for a passport size photo as a JPG.
What this tool does not do
It does not remove or replace the background, and it cannot make a poorly lit snapshot into a compliant one. Photograph yourself against a plain, evenly lit light wall with no shadow behind you, facing the camera with a neutral expression, then crop and size the result here. Doing the framing properly is what the form actually checks.
Free, unlimited, private
No sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC and more go in; JPG comes out, which is what document portals accept. The photo is decoded, cropped and encoded on your own device, so an identity document never leaves it.
