A Canada passport or visa photo is 50 × 70 mm (591 × 827 pixels at 300 DPI) on a white or light grey background. The head must measure 31–36 mm from chin to crown, which is the part most photo tools ignore — a photo can be exactly the right size and still be rejected for a head that fills too much or too little of the frame.
| Photo size | 50 × 70 mm |
|---|---|
| At 300 DPI | 591 × 827 pixels |
| Head height (chin to crown) | 31–36 mm |
| Background | White or light grey |
| Expression | Neutral, mouth closed, both eyes open and visible |
| Notes | The face must measure 31–36mm chin to crown, so the head sits smaller in frame than most countries. |
No. There is no server to upload it to — the cropping, face detection and background removal all run inside this browser tab, and nothing is stored. Turn off your Wi-Fi once the page has loaded and it still works.
