One upload, two deliveries: the pixel-exact digital file and a 300 dpi print-ready sheet.
What each line means
Printed size — print at exactly 50 × 70 mm. A few millimetres off and most offices hand the form back before anything else is checked.
Digital size — the digital file must measure 591 × 827 px. Anything smaller gets refused by many online systems before a person sees it.
Background — a plain White background, with no shadows or gradients. A wall lit unevenly is the fastest route to a refusal.
Resolution — 300 dpi keeps a face sharp in print. Below that, features soften and agencies ask for a retake.

How to take a 50x70mm Photo with your phone
The big-format rectangle
50×70 mm is the largest rectangle this site carries in common use. The Canadian passport, the Brazilian passport and the Canadian citizenship photo all print on it, so the face gets a large area of the frame.
Head position in the frame
A larger frame does not relax the head band: the Canadian pages measure the head as strictly on 50×70 as anywhere else, and the wider margins make a badly placed head more visible. The head should fill its band, with the remaining area given to background.
Setup and lighting
Plain white wall, frontal light, camera at eye level, shot from a natural distance so the whole head and shoulders sit easily in the wide frame. Start here for the size; the Canada and Brazil pages carry the head bands.
What this page outputs
The preset crops to the exact 50×70 mm rectangle on white at print resolution, with head position, background and ratio checked before export.
Why 50x70mm Photo gets rejected
The head is too small
The classic failure of the large format is a distant head floating in paper, shot from across the room and cropped to fit. The band check rejects it.
The 40×60 mm size
The Greek, Thai and Vietnamese 40×60 rectangle is a different size: ten millimetres shorter and narrower. It is a frequent wrong export when the two families are confused, so name the country first, then the size.
The ordinary faults
Shadows, tilts and uneven walls are standard reasons for refusal, and a larger frame shows each of them more clearly.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a 50x70mm Photo?
The standard size is 50 × 70 mm (591 × 827 px at 300 DPI). The tool crops and scales your photo to exact requirements automatically.
Can I smile in the photo?
Requirements call for: a natural expression. When in doubt, keep a neutral face with both eyes open.
How recent must the photo be?
Old photos are a common rejection reason.
Is my photo private?
Yes. Uploaded photos are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted within 24 hours. We never share or resell uploads.
Can I take it with my phone?
Yes. A white wall, even light and an eye-level phone cover the 50×70 mm frame; the tool does the exact crop.
Is this the same as the Canadian passport photo?
The rectangle matches Canada's 50×70 mm registration; this page is the generic preset for the format.
