Pakistan Passport Photo Size

In short A Pakistan passport photo is 35 × 45 mm with the head measuring 32 to 36 mm from crown to chin, on a plain white background. That head range works out at 71 to 80 per cent of the image height, which sits inside the 70 to 80 per cent that ICAO Doc 9303 asks for — so this is a standard-framed photo. NADRA specifies a white background and a full frontal face for both the passport and the CNIC, and the same photo is normally accepted for both. Spectacles are increasingly refused outright rather than merely discouraged. In pixels, the print needs 414 × 532 at 300 dpi, which is the normal minimum for printing, and 827 × 1063 at 600 dpi, which is what many online applications ask for. Note that dpi is not a property of a file at all — it is the pixel count divided by the print size, so quoting megapixels answers a different question. What none of this settles is whether a particular photograph will be accepted: size, head height and background are the measurable part, while expression, lighting, shadow on the background, glare on spectacles and hair across the face are judged by a person, and any of them can fail a photo that is correct to the millimetre.
