What size is a Sri Lanka passport photo?+
A Sri Lanka 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 Sri Lanka passport photo rejected?+
The most common reasons a Sri Lanka 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 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 Sri Lanka passport photo need?+
Sri Lanka 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 Sri Lanka photo for both digital upload and printing?+
Yes. Download a single JPG for online Sri Lanka 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.
