35 × 45 mm. The head must measure 32–36 mm from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head. The tool estimates the crop automatically; review the guides and any warnings before downloading.
How do I take the photo at home?
Stand about 1.5 m (4–5 ft) in front of a plain light wall, face a window for even light, and have someone take the photo at eye level. Keep your mouth closed, both eyes open, no glasses, and leave space above your head and your shoulders in view.

A cropped JPEG at 1200 × 1543 px and a 4×6 in (10×15 cm) print sheet with copies and cut guides. Printing costs extra. Check the requirements of your application before uploading the digital file.
