Russia Passport / Visa Photo

35×45 mm · 413×531 px @ 300 DPI

Government photo-ID applications enforce strict pixel and millimetre specifications because rejection costs the applicant another visit and the issuing office processing time. Russia Passport / Visa Photo is the spec used for the Russia passport / visa photo standard; if your submitted image misses the dimensions or compression ceiling, the system flags it before a human sees it. This preset crops to 35×45 mm passport and exports 413×531 JPEG @ 300 DPI, matching the published guideline. Most rejections happen for one of three reasons: wrong physical dimensions, non-white background, or the source resolution was too low to upscale cleanly to 413×531 JPEG @ 300 DPI.

About the Russia photo standard [RUS] (locally written паспортное фото)

The Russia photo standard is administered by the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the MVD (ГУВМ МВД). Eastern Europe member states have generally aligned with the 413×531 px specification at 300 DPI, though local rejection criteria vary. The physical Russia passport book has a dark red (claret), with the Russian Federation's coat of arms in gold cover.

Where this preset's output is accepted: Russian internal passport, foreign-travel passport, and visa applications submitted via the consulate or VFS Russia.

Travel-document context: Russian passport holders enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 116 destinations, ranking 45th globally; access has narrowed since 2022 with several Western countries suspending or restricting Russian visa entry. The photo specifications described on this page apply to the document used for that travel.

Recent updates (2022-2025): Since 2022 the Schengen area, U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia have either fully suspended or sharply restricted Russian-tourist visa issuance, redirecting Russian travel demand toward Turkey, the UAE, Serbia, and the Caucasus. Photo specifications for the foreign-travel passport (загранпаспорт) remain unchanged at 35×45 mm, 600 DPI for the chip page.

Country-specific note: Russian passport photos must have an oval matte border on the printed copy when submitted in person; for digital submission, the head must occupy 70-80% of the frame height. Run this preset, then verify the result against the official guidelines linked in the specifications table above before submitting.

How Russia Passport / Visa Photo runs

This preset is a deterministic recipe — every step has fixed parameters so the result is byte-identical across runs of the same input.

  1. Crop the image to a 35:45 aspect ratio. Mochi keeps the centre of the frame in the middle of the crop by default — drag the crop box if you want to recompose.
  2. Resize to 413×531 px at 300 DPI as JPEG at quality 92%.

Where the work happens

Russia Passport / Visa Photo crops your input to 35:45 and resizes it to 413×531 px as JPEG — a 219-kilopixel output. The work runs through canvas APIs and a WebAssembly image-encoder; the source image is decoded into an off-screen canvas, transformed in place, and re-encoded without any network upload.

Government photo-ID portals pre-validate the image dimensions before accepting upload; matching the spec exactly skips the rejection round-trip. The browser-side path also means the file never leaves your device — relevant when the input contains personally identifiable information, screenshots of private documents, ID scans, or proprietary product photography.

Common mistakes

FAQ

What does Russia Passport / Visa Photo output?

413×531 px at 300 DPI, saved as JPEG at quality 92%.

Why crop to 35:45?

The Russia Passport / Visa Photo regulation specifies a printed photo of 35×45 mm. The pixel ratio matches the millimetre ratio so the image prints at the correct physical size when the file is opened at 300 DPI.

Why 300 DPI?

300 DPI is the print-grade resolution at which the dot pattern disappears at normal reading distance. Government photo offices, commercial print shops, and biometric scanners all assume 300 DPI; anything lower prints visibly soft.

Why JPEG and not PNG?

The target accepts JPEG, and JPEG compresses photographic content 5-10× smaller than PNG with no visible difference at quality 92%. PNG is the right choice only when the image has hard edges or transparency — which photo-ID, social posts, and product photos don't.

Does my image get uploaded?

No. This preset runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly + canvas APIs — no server round-trip. You can verify this in your browser's network panel: only static asset requests, no image upload. The file never leaves your device.
