What size is a Ghana passport photo?+
A Ghana passport photo is 50 x 50 mm (2x2 inch) (591 × 591 pixels at 300 DPI). The head must measure 32 to 36 mm from chin to the top of the head. This tool crops to those exact dimensions for you, so you don't have to measure anything by hand.
Why was my Ghana passport photo rejected?+
The most common reasons a Ghana photo gets rejected are: the wrong print size (it must be 50 x 50 mm (2x2 inch)), the head being too large or too small in the frame (it should be 32 to 36 mm tall), a background that isn't white, shadows on the face or background, a smile (a neutral expression is required), or wearing glasses (they're not allowed). Setting the country here applies the correct size and head height automatically, which removes the most frequent mistakes.
What background colour does a Ghana passport photo need?+
Ghana accepts a white background. The optional background tool can swap a plain near-white wall behind you for the colour you pick, so you can shoot at home and still meet the rule.
Can I use this Ghana photo for both digital upload and printing?+
Yes. Download a single JPG for online Ghana applications, or download the 4×6 inch print sheet PDF. It tiles your photo at 50 x 50 mm (2x2 inch) with cut marks so any drugstore or photo counter can print it. Both files are made in your browser and your photo never leaves your device.
