How to make a compliant philippines passport photo
A philippines passport photo must be 35×45 mm, that is 413×531 pixels at 300 DPI, on a plain white (not the older light blue), 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 (not the older light blue) 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 413×531 px with 300 DPI embedded so it prints at the correct physical size.
