Passport photo for France: 35 × 45 mm
This is the frame used for French Schengen visas and long-stay D visas filed through France-Visas and the TLScontact and VFS Global centres. 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
France is unusually precise about the print: 35 mm (0/−1 mm) by 45 mm (0/−1 mm), face 32–36 mm measured from the chin to the forehead with the hair excluded, and the file has to satisfy ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005, which France-Visas names in the instructions. The ANTS ePhoto code from an approved booth is a French-national-document route only — a visa file still needs a real 35 × 45 mm photo, which is what this page makes.
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.
