Passbilde for Canada

Passport photo for Canada: 50 × 70 mm

This is the frame used for Canadian passport and permanent residence applications. Drop a normal photo above and the editor opens with two steps already prepared: a crop locked to the 50 × 70 mm shape, and a resize fixed at 591 × 827 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

Canada is the odd one out: 50 × 70 mm, taller and wider than every other standard, and a 35 × 45 mm or 2 × 2 inch photo is rejected outright. At 300 dpi that is 591 × 827 pixels.

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

591 × 827 px is 50 × 70 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.
