Key takeaways

Turkish standard 50×60 mm = 591×709 pixels (300 DPI)
International ICAO standard 35×45 mm = 413×531 pixels
US family 51×51 mm (2×2 in) = 600×600 pixel square
Formula: pixels = mm ÷ 25.4 × DPI — 300 DPI is enough for print

Where is it used?

A reference table for anyone who wants to find which document requires which size, mm-pixel-DPI conversions and print layout on a single page.

All Document Photo Sizes in One Table (2026)

Turkish ID / passport / licence	50×60	591×709	NVI biometric
Schengen and EU documents	35×45	413×531	ICAO 9303
US visa / Green Card	51×51	600×600	2×2 inch square
Japan visa	45×45	531×531	Square
China visa	33×48	390×567	Strict biometric
UAE / Dubai visa	43×55	508×650	GDRFA digital: min 300×369
Lawyer licence	60×90	709×1063	Shot in robe
Passolig card	35×45	600×771	Custom digital value
K-ETA (South Korea)	Digital only	700×700	No print needed
Umrah / Hajj (Nusuk)	Digital only	200×200	No print needed

The everyday standard in Turkey is 50×60 mm: ID cards, passports and driving licences use it. The standard for international applications is 35×45 mm; the Schengen Area and EU ID cards use this size. Both size guides explain pixel, DPI and head-ratio details further.

If you need a size for a document beyond the table, open its guide: US visa, Japan visa, China visa, UAE/Dubai visa, lawyer licence, Passolig card, K-ETA and Umrah/Hajj.

From mm to Pixels: the Conversion Formula

One formula does the conversion: pixels = mm ÷ 25.4 × DPI. Example: 35 mm ÷ 25.4 × 300 DPI = 413 pixels; 60 mm ÷ 25.4 × 300 = 709 pixels. 300 DPI is the print standard; some portals (the UK's UKVI, for instance) ask for 600 DPI equivalents — just change the DPI in the same formula.

The common mistake is calculating with the 72 DPI screen resolution: a file that looks "big enough" at 72 DPI blurs in print. The second mistake is enlarging a small file in software — pixel count grows but detail does not. Our system runs a real super-resolution model on low-resolution sources and produces the target pixel value without quality loss.

Which Document Requires Which Size?

The practical rule has three branches. Domestic Turkish documents — ID card, passport, driving licence — take 50×60 mm. Europe-centred applications — Schengen, UK, Russia — take 35×45 mm. US-centred applications — US visa, Green Card, India — take the 51×51 mm square.

Documents sharing a size may differ in other rules: the UK, using 35×45, wants a cream-grey background while Schengen wants white/light grey; head-ratio bands also vary by country. That is why the wizard selects a "document", not a "size" — the background and crop rules apply correctly together with the size. For document-level rules, see the biometric photo and visa photo guides.

Print Layout: How Many Photos Fit a 10×15 Sheet?

For print orders, photos are laid out automatically with cut marks on 10×15 cm photo paper: 8 photos at 35×45 mm, 4 at 50×60 mm, 6 at the 51×51 mm square. Since most official applications ask for 2-4 printed photos, a single sheet is usually enough and the rest remain as spares.

Digital-only applications (K-ETA, Nusuk, India e-visa) need no print; you download a JPEG at the exact pixel value the portal wants. In mixed cases — a Schengen file plus a digital pre-registration, say — the same photo can be ordered as both print and digital in one go. How each of these steps is done, from the shoot to the file upload, is explained in the workflow guides.

Do's and Don'ts

Do

Use at least 300 DPI in print files
For digital uploads, match the portal's exact pixel requirement
Regenerate the photo when the size changes — the crop band changes too
Use the sRGB colour profile; leave CMYK conversion to the printer
Keep JPEG quality above 90%

Don't

Don't crop a photo produced for one size into another size
Don't send a small photo to print by stretching it without proper upscaling
Don't prepare print files at 72 DPI screen resolution
Don't break the head ratio to hit a pixel value
Don't upload the same file to documents that require different sizes

FAQ

What photo formats are supported?

You can upload JPG or PNG, or capture with your browser camera. Photos with a short side of at least 480 pixels are accepted; 720 pixels or more give sharper results. For low resolution or slight head tilt the system may try an automatic fix — just review the preview.

Can I use it for free?

Yes. Biometric compliance analysis and the watermarked preview are free (fair use and a per-minute request limit apply). Downloading the clean digital file and ordering a 10×15 print sheet are paid; prices in the order wizard include VAT. No account is required — you can complete the order as a guest.

How do I print the resulting PNG?

The PNG keeps the aspect ratio of your chosen document (e.g. 50×60 mm ≈ 600×720 px, 35×45 mm ≈ 560×720 px, US square visa 720×720; long side ~720 px / ~300 DPI). Two options: after payment download the clean digital file and print at a photo shop or home printer, or order an auto-laid-out 10×15 print sheet for delivery from the site.

What are the passport photo size and requirements?

The standard Republic of Türkiye passport photo is 50×60 mm biometric; the background must be white or a very light plain colour, glasses must not glare, and eyes must be open and looking straight at the camera. It also follows international ICAO 9303 rules: the head fills about 70-80% of the frame, neutral expression, and the photo must have been taken in the last 6 months. Pick the "TR Passport" preset in the wizard — the system applies all these rules automatically.

What are the Turkish ID photo size and requirements?

The standard size for the Turkish ID card is 50×60 mm biometric; the background must be white or very light grey, expression neutral, eyes open and looking straight at the camera, no glare on glasses. The civil registry usually accepts a single biometric photo; if you are also getting a driving licence or passport in the same period, a 10×15 print sheet is a practical option. Just pick the "TR ID" preset in the wizard.

What is the 35x45 mm photo in pixels?

For 35×45 mm our output file has the long side at ~720 px, giving roughly 560×720 pixels at ~300 DPI; the classic 300 DPI calculation is ~413×531 for reference. This resolution is enough for Schengen, Canada, Russia, UK and Australia visa systems (US is square and has its own preset) and comfortably clears the 600×750-pixel minimum that many online uploads require. The wizard applies the correct size and background automatically.

Can I use the same photo for multiple documents?

Yes — a single well-taken frame can serve as the source for ID card, passport, driving licence and most visas. However, since each document has its own size, crop and head ratio, one file cannot be submitted everywhere: for each document simply pick the relevant preset in the wizard and upload the same photo again; the system regenerates the crop and background for that document. For people renewing ID + passport + driving licence at the same time, the 10×15 print sheet is a practical solution.

How much does an ID photo cost? (2026)

Photo analysis and the biometric compliance check are completely free. Digital file and print prices are below — identical to the live prices in the order wizard.
