Make Uzbekistan Passport Photo

Almost every 35x45mm country publishes a head height as a band — typically 32-36mm — which gives you 4mm of tolerance. Uzbekistan's passport guidance instead gives a single figure: 34.5mm from the top of the hair to the bottom of the chin.

Practically, 34.5mm sits in the upper part of the usual band, close to the 36mm ICAO ceiling. So if you crop by habit to the middle of a 32-36mm range, you will land around 34mm and be fine — but if you crop conservatively small, at 32mm, you are further from the published figure than you might think.

This tool targets the 32-36mm band with 34.5mm inside it. Aim high in that band rather than low.

The digital format is .jpg and the file must come in at 240KB or less — the same constraint the Uzbek e-visa applies. PNG and HEIC uploads are refused, and HEIC is what modern iPhones produce by default.

Export explicitly as JPEG, and get under the limit by lowering the JPEG quality rather than shrinking the pixel dimensions. Downscaling to hit the byte count leaves the face too small to verify.

The background must be plain white with no shadows. Stand about a metre clear of the wall so your shoulders cast nothing onto it, and light your face evenly from the front.

Your head must face the camera directly, with the face fully visible and centred in the frame — no tilting, no turning. Because the head fills most of the height, even a small tilt is visible.

Keep a neutral facial expression with your mouth closed. Both eyes should be open and clearly visible.

Remove glasses unless you require them for a documented medical reason. The photo must be high-resolution, unedited, and taken within the last six months so it reflects your current appearance.
