50×70mm Passport Photo
50×70mm is the size published for Canadian passport photos by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
50×70mm in pixels, at print resolution
Millimeters aren't directly useful for a digital file — printing needs a pixel count at a given resolution (DPI). Here's 50×70mm converted at the two resolutions most photo labs and home printers use:
| Resolution | Pixel size |
|---|---|
| 300 DPI | 591 × 827 px |
| 600 DPI | 1181 × 1654 px |
Vekyo's printable PDF renders at 600 DPI so a print shop can't reject it for low resolution — you don't need to pick a pixel size yourself.
Good to know about 50×70mm
- At roughly 2×2.75 inches, 50×70mm doesn't match a standard commercial photo print size (like 4×6in), so a home or drugstore print run needs the exact dimensions specified rather than a generic "passport photo" preset — Vekyo's printable PDF is sized precisely for this, not just approximated.
- Canada uses this same 50×70mm frame size for both its passport and its PR (Permanent Resident) card photo — but the two documents still have independent head-height and background rules, so check the specific one you need rather than assuming identical requirements end-to-end.
