FAQ
Why do so many countries use the same 35x45mm size?
It broadly follows ICAO-influenced sizing conventions used across many national passport and visa systems, though each country still publishes and can change its own exact requirement.
Is the DPI the same for every 35x45mm document?
No - DPI (and therefore the exact pixel output) varies by document even at the same physical size. Check the table above or the specific document's page.
