Canada Passport Photo

About Canada Passport Photo

A Canadian passport photo is 50×70 mm - 2 by 2¾ inches, 591×827 pixels at print resolution - a distinctly tall format with the face 31 to 36 mm from chin to crown on a plain white or light background. This tool crops and sizes your photo to exactly that in your browser, with a head-position oval as a guide. The 50×70 mm size is unusual and catches people out, since it is neither the US square nor the common 35×45 mm. Canada requires the photo to be taken by a commercial photographer and professionally printed, even for online renewal - so treat this tool as a way to check framing and size, and have the final photo produced as Canada requires. Two identical photos are needed. Two things make Canada unusual. First, the size: 50×70 mm is taller than almost any other country's photo, so a photo framed for a US square or a 35×45 mm slot will not fit. Second, the rules require the photo to be taken and printed by a commercial photographer, with the studio's name and the date on the back - so use this tool to understand the framing and size, then have the final photo produced the way Canada requires. Two identical copies are needed. Everything runs in this tab - your photo is cropped, sized and handed back without being uploaded, which for a document photo is exactly right. Important: this tool sizes and frames the photo to the exact 50×70 mm (2×2¾ in) dimensions and shows a head-position guide, but it cannot certify that your photo meets every official rule. Always check the result against the official guidance before you submit it.
