Frequently asked questions
What size is a spain passport / dni photo?
26×32 mm, which is 307×378 pixels at 300 DPI.
What background does a spain passport / dni photo need?
A uniform white, smooth, 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 300 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 Dirección General de la Policía — DNI electrónico requirements linked on this page.
