Sri Lanka Passport Photo Size Limit

For Sri Lankan passport applications submitted online, the Department of Immigration & Emigration requires the digital photo to be a JPEG between 40 KB and 1024 KB (1 MB). In practice the photo is usually captured and uploaded by a registered photo studio, but the same file-size rule applies to any digital copy you prepare yourself: it must be at least 40 KB and no larger than 1024 KB. Official photo rules (Department of Immigration & Emigration): • Size 35 × 45 mm (about 827 × 1063 px at 600 DPI), JPEG format • File size between 40 KB and 1024 KB (1 MB) • Plain white background, full face clearly visible, no spectacles • Taken within the last 6 months • Caps or scarves allowed only if the forehead and ears stay clearly visible This tool compresses an oversized photo to under 1024 KB while keeping it well above the 40 KB minimum, so it stays sharp and clear. It changes the file size only. Your 35 × 45 mm dimensions are untouched. How to use this page: • Make sure your photo is 35 × 45 mm (about 827 × 1063 px) first • Drop it here, and it's compressed to under 1 MB and downloads automatically • The result stays above the 40 KB minimum (this tool won't over-shrink a normal photo)
