How the pixels are calculated
Pixels = millimetres ÷ 25.4 × DPI. At 300 DPI, 35 × 45 mm is 413 × 531 pixels; at 600 DPI it is 827 × 1063. Print the file at its real size and it measures exactly 35 × 45 mm.
Biometric framing
- Face straight to the camera, neutral expression, mouth closed.
- Head (chin to crown) roughly 70–80 % of the photo height.
- Plain light background, even light, no shadows.
Check your country’s rules
The head size, background colour and whether glasses are allowed vary from country to country. Zekoya guarantees the file size and pixels; check the official page for the rest.
Questions
Which countries use 35 × 45 mm?
Most of Europe (including Schengen visas), the UK and many other countries. The US uses 2 × 2 inches instead.
Can I set a KB limit too?
Yes. Choose “Max” or “Range” under File size; the pixels stay exactly as set.
