It stays on this device. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account, watermark or limit.
JPEG, PNG, WebP or HEIC. Drag a file here if you prefer.
Drag the blue line to the top of your hair, the red line to the bottom of your chin, and the green line to the centre of your face. The crop follows.
Every file carries its real print size, so a photo lab lays it out at the right dimensions instead of guessing 72 DPI.
The requirements in full
| Photo size | 35 × 45 mm (1.38 × 1.77 in) |
|---|---|
| Head height | 28–34 mm chin to crown, 62–76% of the photo height |
| Background | Plain white |
| Pixels | 413 × 531 at 300 DPI · 827 × 1063 at 600 DPI |
| Expression | Neutral, mouth closed |
| Glasses | Not accepted |
| How recent | No more than 30 days old |
| How many | 2 identical photos |
| Edited photos | Not accepted. The SRE instruction sheet states plainly that digital, digitised or retouched photographs are not accepted. |
| Home-printed photos | Not accepted. Because Mexico does not accept digital, digitised or retouched photographs, a photo you produce and print at home is unlikely to be accepted. Use this tool to check a studio’s photo against the rules rather than to make the photo you hand in. |
45 x 35 mm, white background, front on, no smiling, no glasses, head completely uncovered, and taken no more than 30 days before you apply - the strictest recency rule of any country here.
Where the published rules run out
Mexico publishes no chin-to-crown measurement - the instruction is qualitative ("cabeza completa"). The head range here is a reasonable default, not a published rule.
This tool cannot make the photo you hand in for Mexico
Because Mexico does not accept digital, digitised or retouched photographs, a photo you produce and print at home is unlikely to be accepted. Use this tool to check a studio’s photo against the rules rather than to make the photo you hand in.
It is still useful: crop to the exact format and run the checks to see whether a studio's photo actually meets the rules before you pay for it or submit it.
Printing it
