• Canada passport photo for online renewal

  Online passport renewal wants a portrait file, 3:2, from 1200 × 1800 up to 3000 × 4500 pixels, with the face 45–50% of the height and the file between 200 KB and 5 MB. A paper photo is a different crop: 50 × 70 mm, face 31–36 mm. We export the online size, and the print sheet uses the paper size.
