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 Nigeria passport photo size?

The Nigeria Immigration Service requires a 35mm wide by 45mm tall photo, which this tool exports as 413x531 pixels at 300 DPI.

What does the head-height guide show?

The top line marks the 3mm margin from the top of the photo to the top of your hair, and the lower line marks the 34.5mm head-height target, measured from the top of your hair to your chin.

Does this tool check the background or lighting?

No. It only crops and resizes to the correct dimensions. NIS requires a pure white background with even lighting and no shadows, so use a plain white backdrop before uploading.

Are glasses allowed in a Nigeria passport photo?

No. NIS guidance does not permit glasses, including prescription and tinted lenses, in passport photos. Remove them before taking the source photo.

Does the NIS online portal ever ask for a square photo instead?

Some online application steps on the NIS portal request a separate square digital upload (around 600x600px). This tool produces the standard 35x45mm printed passport photo; check your specific application step for any extra square upload requirement.

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, photo age, and print quality, which remain your responsibility to verify against current NIS guidance.
