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 Spanish passport photo size?

Spain uses a 26mm wide by 32mm tall photo for both the DNI and the passport, which this tool exports as 307x378 pixels at 300 DPI. This is smaller than the 35x45mm ICAO size used in most other EU countries.

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 Spanish requirements state should cover roughly 70% to 80% of the total photo height.

Does this tool check the background or lighting?

No. It only crops and resizes to the correct dimensions. Spanish requirements call for a plain white background with even, neutral lighting, so take the source photo against that background 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 current Direccion General de Policia guidance.

Can I use this for a NIE card photo too?

Yes. The NIE (Numero de Identidad de Extranjero) card uses the same 26x32mm format as the DNI and passport, so the same crop works for it.

Summary

Passport Photo Spain crops and resizes any uploaded photo to the official Spanish DNI and passport photo dimensions: 26mm wide by 32mm tall, exported as 307x378 pixels at 300 DPI. Drag to reposition and use the zoom slider to fit your head between the guide lines, which mark the face-height zone that Spain's Direccion General de Policia requires to cover roughly 70 to 80 percent of the photo height. This 26x32mm format is smaller than the 35x45mm ICAO size used across most of the EU, so a generic passport photo tool will crop it wrong. The crop, resize, and export all happen locally on the canvas; nothing is uploaded to a server.

Click "Download Photo" to export a 307x378px PNG (26x32mm at 300 DPI).
