Sri Lanka 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. Sri Lanka Passport / Visa Photo is the spec used for the Sri Lanka 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.

When you'd run Sri Lanka Passport / Visa Photo

About the Sri Lanka photo standard [LKA]

The Sri Lanka photo standard is administered by the Department of Immigration and Emigration (Sri Lanka). South Asia member states have generally aligned with the 413×531 px specification at 300 DPI, though local rejection criteria vary. The physical Sri Lanka passport book has a dark blue with the Lion-Pillar emblem in gold cover.

Where this preset's output is accepted: Sri Lankan passport, NIC (National Identity Card) renewal, and visa applications at Sri Lankan missions.

Travel-document context: Sri Lankan passport holders enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 45 destinations, ranking 95th globally; the Department of Immigration and Emigration follows a 6-month photo-recency requirement strictly. The photo specifications described on this page apply to the document used for that travel.

Recent updates (2022-2025): Sri Lanka's 2022 economic crisis drove a record surge in passport applications, with the Department of Immigration and Emigration processing over a million applications annually since. The new biometric e-passport rollout began in 2024 with phased issuance through Battaramulla and regional offices.

Country-specific note: Sri Lankan passport photos require a plain light-coloured background — usually pale blue or white — and the photo must be no older than 6 months. Run this preset, then verify the result against the official guidelines linked in the specifications table above before submitting.

How Sri Lanka 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

Sri Lanka 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 Sri Lanka Passport / Visa Photo output?

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

Why crop to 35:45?

The Sri Lanka 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.
