Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Cropping, resizing, and the background check all happen in your browser using the Canvas API. Your photo never leaves your device.

What is the exact Russian passport photo size?

Russian passport and ID applications commonly use a 45mm high by 35mm wide photo, which this tool exports as 413x531 pixels at 300 DPI.

What does the face-height guide show?

The lines mark the target face-height zone, from the crown of your head to your chin, which should measure roughly 32mm to 36mm in the final photo, positioned a few millimeters below the top edge.

How does the background check work?

The tool samples pixel brightness and contrast in the four corners of your crop, where the background usually shows. If the corners look dark or patterned, it flags the photo so you can retake it against a plain, light backdrop. It is a brightness/uniformity hint, not an official compliance check.

Will this guarantee my photo is accepted?

The guide and background hint help you match size, head placement, and a plain light background, but final acceptance depends on expression, lighting evenness, and print quality, which you should verify against the official requirements of the office processing your application.

Can I use this for other countries' passport photos?

This tool is sized for the 35x45mm standard used in Russia. Other countries use different dimensions, so check your destination country's requirements separately.

Summary

Passport Photo Russia crops and resizes any uploaded photo to the common Russian passport and ID photo size: 35mm by 45mm, 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 32mm to 36mm face-height zone (chin to crown) used by most Russian photo services. A background check samples the corners of your crop and flags photos that look too dark or uneven for the plain, light background Russian applications require. Cropping, resizing, and the background check all run locally on the canvas; nothing is uploaded to a server.

How it works

Click "Upload Photo" or drag and drop an image onto the canvas area.
Drag the image to center your face inside the frame.
Use the zoom slider or mouse wheel so your chin and the top of your head line up with the guide.
Read the background check hint below the canvas and retake the photo if it flags an issue.
Toggle the guide overlay on or off to double-check alignment.
Click "Download Photo" to export a 413x531px PNG (35x45mm at 300 DPI).

Use cases

Prepare a Russian internal or foreign passport photo from a phone photo.
Resize a photo to the 35x45mm, 413x531px spec before printing at a photo kiosk.
Check face height against the guide before ordering prints.
Catch a too-dark or uneven background before submitting an application.
Produce a photo for a Russian visa, driver license, or ID application.
