For a French passport or national identity card, the photo measures 35×45 mm on a plain, light background. This page prepares the image from a recent portrait: your face is detected and centred automatically, then you download a file or a print sheet.
In France the photo is normally taken by an approved photographer or photo booth, which issues an e-photo code, so ask your town hall (mairie) before you submit your application. Everything runs in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded.
Tips for a compliant photo
- Choose a plain, light background; white should be avoided.
- Look straight at the lens with a neutral expression and your mouth closed.
- Keep both eyes clearly visible, with no glare on glasses.
- Use a recent photo with no filters or retouching.
- Print at actual size (100 %), not “fit to page”.
