Poland passport photo size & rules

Poland uses the 35x45mm format (zdjecie do paszportu) for passports and national ID cards, equal to 413x531 pixels at 300 dpi. Polish rules follow strict biometric proportions: the head from chin to crown should measure between 30mm and 35mm, occupying roughly 70-80% of the photo, and the face must be shown straight on with the eyes at a defined height. Polish offices (urzad) are known for rejecting photos where the head is too small or the face is not perfectly frontal.

The background should be plain and light, typically a uniform light grey or off-white, without shadow or texture. Face the camera directly with a completely neutral expression and mouth closed, both eyes open and clearly visible, and the head not tilted or turned. Poland requires the whole face, including both edges of the face and the ears where possible, to be visible. Glasses should be removed unless medically necessary, and if worn there must be no reflection or tint. Head coverings are only accepted for religious or medical reasons and must not hide the facial features. The photo must be recent, taken within the last six months.

Pixohub formats your Polish passport or ID photo to 413x531 pixels with the correct head proportions directly in your browser, so the image is never uploaded and stays private on your own device, and the tool is free. Polish biometric requirements are updated periodically and enforced strictly by local offices. Always confirm the current official specifications on gov.pl or with your local urzad before printing or submitting your photo.
