## What else this rule says
- Read this one before using anything made here. Pakistan asks for a professionally taken photograph and says in so many words that one “cut down from larger pictures” or edited in software will not do — which is what a crop is. Use this to check that a studio’s photograph meets the 29 to 34 mm head and the white background; the upload may be up to 5 MB and no pixel size is stated, so the one written is the print at 300 dpi.
- No eye line is published, so the band shown is where the eyes fall on a head sitting centred in the frame. It is guidance rather than a requirement, and is never painted red.
## Where these figures come from
Transcribed from Directorate General of Immigration & Passports — e-Services Portal, Photograph Requirements. Checked 2026-09-19. Rules change; the figures above are what to check against the form in front of you.
## What the tool does with them
- Locks the crop to this document’s shape, and draws the head and eye bands inside it, so you can see the rule on your own photograph instead of reading about it.
- Finds the crown, the chin and both pupils by measuring the picture — no face model is downloaded — and says in millimetres whether the head is too large or too small for this rule.
- Reads the background colour and how evenly it is lit, and says which of the two is the problem when there is one.
- Writes the print at the exact millimetres with the resolution in the file, a sheet of them with cut marks, and the upload file at the pixel and file size this rule states.
