Passport size photo for India

Drop a normal photo on the panel at the top of this page. The face is found automatically and the frame is placed on the head at 35 × 45 mm, so what you see is already the finished photo — drag or zoom if you want it different, then download 413 × 531 px. Nothing is uploaded: the detection, the crop and the export all run in your browser.

Yes. The panel locates the face, works out where the crown and the chin are, and sizes the frame so the head fills the share of the picture the standard asks for with the eyes on the right line. It is a starting point, not a verdict: the frame can be dragged and zoomed, and the panel shows the head height it achieved so you can judge it. If no face is found — a scan, an unusual pose, a picture with no person in it — you get a plain message and a manual cropper locked to the same 35 × 45 mm shape.

35 × 45 mm (3.5 × 4.5 cm), which is 413 × 531 px at 300 dpi. That is the frame this page produces, so the file matches what the form asks for without you doing any arithmetic.

Yes — that is exactly what the crop does. A phone photo has the wrong shape, so it has to be cut to the document frame rather than squeezed into it; the locked ratio makes that impossible to get wrong. Leave a little space above the head and keep the face centred, and the result is a valid frame.

No. PIXLFLW crops, resizes and compresses — it does not remove or replace backgrounds, and any tool that claims to do it perfectly from an ordinary snapshot will usually leave halos around the hair that an official checker catches. Photograph yourself against a plain, evenly lit light wall with no shadow behind you, then crop and size the result here.

Yes. After the crop, switch on "Target file size" in the download dialog and type a limit in KB — useful for visa portals and appointment systems that cap the upload. The encoder finds the best quality that fits and reports the real size.

No. PIXLFLW runs entirely in your browser: images are opened, edited and exported locally on your device and are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone.

Yes, completely free — no sign-up, no watermarks and no daily limits. The only practical limit is your browser memory for very large files (up to 20 MB per image).
