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 35 × 45 mm. A few millimetres off and most offices hand the form back before anything else is checked.

Digital size — the digital file must measure 413 × 531 px. Anything smaller gets refused by many online systems before a person sees it.

Head height — your head, crown to chin, should span 32-36mm. Too small reads distant; too large and the crop will not fit.

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 Taiwan Passport Photo with your phone

Taiwan passport photo size and head height

The Taiwan passport photo is 35×45 mm on white, the same rectangle used in Japan, Korea and India, and by most of Europe. The head measures 32-36 mm from the top of the head to the chin. The format is common, and framing is the part that causes photos to be sent back.

Retouching and filters

Taiwan's reviewers treat retouched skin as a defect. Smoothing apps and heavy filters fail even when the measurements are right. Upload the original frame.

Framing and lighting

Half a metre from a plain wall, phone at eye level, headroom above the hair. Front daylight, neutral expression, mouth closed; the preset crops to the exact 35×45 mm rectangle and flattens the background to pure white.

Tool output and checks

The tool outputs the 300 dpi print at the exact 35×45 mm rectangle and checks ratio, background and head position before download.

Why Taiwan Passport Photo gets rejected

Size and proportion faults

The wrong rectangle, a head outside 32-36 mm, or a face out of proportion for the frame. The rectangle is checked first because it is the fastest thing to measure.

Background faults

Off-white walls, shadows, gradients. A wall with one shaded corner no longer photographs as plain. The shadow edge acts like a pattern.

Retouching, glare and blur

Retouched skin tones, glare on glasses, blur. The photo looks fine on a phone and fails when measured on the desk.

Photo tips

Face a windowEven, front lighting removes face shadows — the #1 rejection reason.
Plain backgroundAny light plain wall works; the tool replaces it with the compliant color.
Look straightHead level, eyes into the lens, shoulders square to the camera.
Neutral faceMouth closed, both eyes open unless your document allows a smile.
Mind the glasses ruleSome documents do not allow glasses — check the requirements table.
Everyday clothesDark top over white is easiest; avoid uniforms and hats.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a Taiwan Passport Photo?

The standard size is 35 × 45 mm (413 × 531 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.

Is the passport photo the same as the Taiwan travel permit photo?

No. The permit uses 33×48 mm; the passport uses 35×45 mm. Use the preset for the document you are submitting.

Can I take it with my phone?

Yes. Plain wall, even light, eye-level camera; the tool handles the crop and the background.
