ID Photo Cropping

Features

• Seven specs: 25×35, 35×45, 35×49 mm, China passport, US, Japan and Schengen visas
• 300 or 600 DPI, converted to the matching pixel dimensions
• Cover cropping — nothing is stretched, only the excess is removed
• Alignment top, centre or bottom; portraits default to top
• A clear "upscaled" note when the original is smaller than the target
• JPEG output at 95%, on a white base so transparency cannot cause surprises
• The photo is never uploaded — cropping happens in the browser

How to use

1. Drop a photo in
2. Choose the specification, DPI and alignment
3. The cropped result appears at once with its pixel size and file size
4. Click Download to save

FAQ

How many pixels is an ID photo?

It depends on the print resolution. Labs usually work at 300 DPI, where 25×35 mm is 295×413 pixels (25 ÷ 25.4 × 300). At 600 DPI the same photo is 591×827 — a bigger file at higher print detail. The consequence of picking the wrong DPI is not blur but the wrong physical size: a 600 DPI file printed as if it were 300 DPI comes out twice as large.

Why default to top alignment?

Because in a portrait the crown usually sits close to the top edge, while ID photos expect the head to occupy a particular share of the frame. Geometric centring removes half from the top and half from the bottom — and the top half is exactly where the crown is. Aligning to the top keeps the head and removes the excess below, which is the framing an ID photo wants.

Will it distort the face?

No. The tool takes a same-ratio region from the original and discards the excess rather than squeezing it in. That costs part of the picture (a landscape original cropped to portrait loses the sides), but faces are never flattened or stretched.

Is the photo uploaded?

No. An ID photo is among the last things that should be uploaded anywhere — it carries a face and identity details. Cropping uses the browser's own canvas, the image never leaves the machine, and it works offline.
