What Is a 45×45mm Photo?

A 45×45mm photo is a square portrait format — the same height as the 35×45mm standard, but wider.

  • Physical size: 45×45mm (about 1.77×1.77 inches), square
  • Pixels at 300 DPI: 531×531px
  • Pixels at 350 DPI: 620×620px — match the resolution your issuer states
  • 1:1 aspect ratio

Common Uses

Verified example from our spec database:

  • Japan visa: 45×45mm square, white or off-white background, face 70–80% of photo height, taken within 6 months — per Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) visa application form
  • Important: Japan's PASSPORT uses 35×45mm — the visa photo size is different; don't submit a passport-size photo with a visa application
  • Other issuers occasionally request square photos — always confirm the exact dimensions in writing
