Open the photo toolCommon questions about Russia passport photos
What size is a Russia passport photo?+
A Russia passport photo is 35 x 45 mm (413 × 531 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 Russia passport photo rejected?+
The most common reasons a Russia photo gets rejected are: the wrong print size (it must be 35 x 45 mm), 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 glare on glasses. Setting the country here applies the correct size and head height automatically, which removes the most frequent mistakes.
What background colour does a Russia passport photo need?+
Russia 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 Russia photo for both digital upload and printing?+
Yes. Download a single JPG for online Russia applications, or download the 4×6 inch print sheet PDF. It tiles your photo at 35 x 45 mm 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.
