Passport photo for Spain: 35 × 45 mm
This is the frame used for Spanish Schengen visas, national D visas and the BLS International centres that take Spain’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
Spain words its rule rather than measuring it: a 35 × 45 mm colour photo on photographic paper, no more than 6 months old, taken "against a white, light, clear, uniform background", with no dark or reflective glasses and no garment concealing the oval of the face. A dark background is a stated rejection, and so is anything visible behind the head — the exact opposite of the neutral grey German missions prefer, which is why one print does not always serve both consulates.
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.
