Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Cropping and resizing happen entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your photo never leaves your device.

What is the exact Mexico passport photo size?

The standard size is 3.5cm wide by 4.5cm high, which this tool exports as 413x531 pixels at 300 DPI.

What does the head-height guide show?

The lines mark a typical target zone so the head, from crown to chin, fills about 70 to 80 percent of the frame, in line with common SRE and consulate guidance.

Do all consulates use the same head-height rule?

Published head-height figures vary slightly between sources and offices. Confirm the exact measurement on the appointment or application page for the specific SRE office, embassy, or consulate you are applying through.

Does this tool check the background or lighting?

No. It only crops and resizes to the correct dimensions. Take the source photo against a plain white or light background with even lighting before uploading.

Will this guarantee my photo is accepted?

The guide helps you match the size and head-placement requirements, but final acceptance depends on background, lighting, expression, and print quality, which are your responsibility to verify against official guidance.

Summary

Passport Photo Mexico crops and resizes any uploaded photo to the standard Mexican passport photo dimensions: 3.5cm by 4.5cm, exported as 413x531 pixels at 300 DPI. Drag to reposition and use the zoom slider to fit your head between the guide lines, which mark the head-height zone most Mexican consulates and the SRE reference, since the face should fill roughly 70 to 80 percent of the frame.
