Passport photo for Finland: 36 × 47 mm
This is the frame used for Finnish passports, ID cards and residence permit applications, where the photo reaches the police electronically. Drop a normal photo above and the editor opens with two steps already prepared: a crop locked to the 36 × 47 mm shape, and a resize fixed at 500 × 653 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
Finland is the Schengen state that does not use 35 × 45 mm: the photo is 47 mm high and 36 mm wide, with 32–36 mm from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head. Sent electronically it must be exactly 500 × 653 pixels — the police say a deviation of a single pixel is not accepted — as a JPEG of no more than 250 kilobytes. Both numbers are set here, and the export reports the byte count it actually reached.
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
500 × 653 px is 36 × 47 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.
Keeping the file under 250 KB
Finland caps the upload as well as the frame, so the download dialog opens with a 250 KB budget already set. The encoder searches for the highest JPEG quality that still fits under that ceiling instead of picking a fixed quality and hoping, and it shows the real byte count before you save. If 250 KB cannot be reached at 500 × 653 px even at low quality, the pixel dimensions are reduced too and the result is reported with its new width and height — the tool never quietly hands you a file the portal will reject. A tightly cropped head-and-shoulders photo also compresses far better than a full-body shot squeezed into the same bytes, which is one more reason to place the crop frame carefully.
