How to make a compliant israel passport photo
A israel passport photo must be 35×45 mm, that is 827×1063 pixels at 600 DPI, on a plain white or light grey, no shadow, with the head measuring 32–36 mm from chin to crown. The editor above handles the cropping, sizing and checking for you, and every step runs on your own device:
- Add your photo. Click the frame or drop in a clear, front-facing shot with a neutral expression, both eyes open and nothing covering the face. The image never leaves your browser.
- Position the head. Drag and zoom until the face sits inside the on-screen guides. They mark the 32–36 mm chin-to-crown zone, centred, level and looking straight at the camera.
- Check the background. Use a plain white or light grey, no shadow that is evenly lit and free of shadows; the built-in checker flags a wrong-coloured or uneven background and poor exposure before you export.
- Export to spec. Download as JPEG, sized to 827×1063 px with 600 DPI embedded so it prints at the correct physical size.
These requirements are set by Israel Population and Immigration Authority (gov.il) and can change over time, always confirm against the official source linked below before you submit your application.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a israel passport photo?
35×45 mm, which is 827×1063 pixels at 600 DPI. The head should measure 32–36 mm from chin to crown.
What background does a israel passport photo need?
A plain white or light grey, no shadow, evenly lit with no shadows or objects behind you. The built-in checker flags a non-uniform or wrong-coloured background.
What file format and size should it be?
JPEG. This tool exports exactly to spec and embeds 600 DPI so print size is correct.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Every step, cropping, the compliance check and the export, runs on your own device using your browser's canvas. Your photo is never sent anywhere, which matters for a document photo.
Does this guarantee my photo will be accepted?
No tool can guarantee acceptance, the issuing authority decides. This editor produces the correct dimensions and catches common, detectable mistakes (background, exposure, head position), but always confirm against the official Israel Population and Immigration Authority (gov.il) requirements linked on this page.
