About the Nepal passport photo maker

This tool turns an ordinary photo into a passport-size photo that matches Nepal's required dimensions of 35 mm wide by 45 mm tall. Upload an image, drag and zoom until the head fits inside the guides, and download a print-ready file — all processed in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.

The size Nepal asks for

A Nepali passport photo is 35 mm × 45 mm, which the tool exports at 413 × 531 pixels — 300 dots per inch, the resolution photo labs and printing services expect. The photo must be on a plain white or light plain background, borderless, and show the full face. The head height, from the top of the head to the chin, should fill about 70% to 80% of the frame, which is why the preview draws dashed head-height guides.

Editable size and KB limit

Online forms rarely agree on one size. Use the preset menu for the passport print, a Lok Sewa photo, or a signature, then edit the width, height, DPI and maximum KB yourself. When you set a KB limit, the tool finds the best JPEG quality that fits and tells you the actual file size before you download. If the limit is too small for the pixel size you chose, it says so instead of silently handing you a blurry file.

Using the guides

After you load a photo, drag it to reposition and use the zoom slider to fill the frame. The head-height guides mark where the top of the head and the chin should sit; aim to keep the head between the two dashed lines and level the eyes near the middle. A rule-of-thirds grid is also available to help centre the face.

Printing a sheet

If you are printing at home or at a photo shop, the "Download 4×6 print sheet" button lays out six copies of the finished photo on a 4×6 inch (102 mm × 152 mm) sheet at 300 DPI, with light cut lines. Take the sheet to a photo studio or print it on glossy photo paper and cut along the lines.

e-Passport note

For Nepal's e-Passport, applicants aged five and above usually have their photograph and biometrics captured at the Department of Passports centre, so a printed photo is often not required for them. Applicants under five must submit printed photos in the 35 × 45 mm size — which this tool produces. Always check the current Department of Passports requirements before applying.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a Nepal passport photo?
Nepal passport photos are 35 mm wide and 45 mm tall. This tool exports that size at 413 × 531 pixels, which is 300 DPI and suitable for printing.
What background should a Nepal passport photo have?
A plain white or light plain background with no patterns or shadows. The tool fills any transparent area with white, and you should upload a photo already taken against a plain light background.
How much of the photo should the head fill?
The head, measured from the top of the head to the chin, should occupy about 70% to 80% of the height of the photo. The dashed guides in the preview mark the recommended range.
Do I need a printed photo for the Nepal e-Passport?
For the e-Passport, applicants aged five and above normally have their photo and biometrics taken at the Department of Passports, so a printed photo may not be required. Applicants under five must submit printed 35 × 45 mm photos. Confirm the current requirement when you apply.
Can I set a custom size and KB limit?
Yes. Choose "Custom size", switch between millimetres and pixels, type the width and height, and set a maximum KB. The tool exports the best JPEG quality that fits and reports the actual file size. If the limit is impossible at that pixel size, it tells you rather than producing an unreadable file.
Can I resize a signature with this tool?
Yes. Pick a signature preset, or use custom pixels such as 300 × 80 px, and tick "Whiten the background" for a scan on paper. There is also a dedicated signature resizer page if you only need a signature.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The image is loaded and processed entirely inside your browser using an HTML canvas. Nothing is uploaded, stored or shared, so your photo stays on your device.
Can I print the photo at home?
Yes. Use the 4×6 print sheet option, which places six copies on a single 4×6 inch sheet at 300 DPI with cut lines. Print it on glossy photo paper at the highest quality your printer supports, or take the file to a photo shop.
