How to make a Swedish passport photo online
- Open the Passport Photo Resizer. It loads with the Sweden size (35 × 45 mm) already selected.
- Upload your photo. Everything runs on your device; nothing is uploaded.
- Drag the crop frame so your head and eye line fit the guide (head about 28–34 mm tall).
- Set a plain light grey or white background if the original isn’t clean.
- Download the 35 × 45 mm image, ready to print or upload.
For a Swedish passport, Polisen often takes the photo at the passport appointment. You may not need a home-printed 35 × 45 mm photo for that channel. This page is for other Swedish ID-style uploads, reprints, or when a form still asks you to supply a file.
When you do need a photo, the common size is 35 × 45 mm on a plain light grey or white background, with head height often around 28–34 mm. Get the frame right with the Schengen preset first; compress only if the portal shows a file-size error.
Confirm the current Polisen photo guidance for your application type. Tokitool only sizes and crops in the browser — it does not replace the police photo taken at a passport desk.

Can I make the photo myself for free?
Yes. Our Passport Photo Resizer runs in your browser: crop, set the size, adjust the background, and download. Your photo is never uploaded to a server.
Do I need to bring a photo to a Swedish passport appointment?
Often no — Polisen commonly photographs you at the passport appointment. Check your booking instructions. If a form still asks you to supply a 35 × 45 mm file, size it here and confirm the rules on polisen.se.
