LAST UPDATED: MARCH 2026 — FEDERAL OFFICE OF POLICE (FEDPOL) REVIEW
Switzerland Passfoto Maker — Official 35×45mm Fedpol Specifications
Format compliant portraits for Schweizer Pass, Identitätskarte, and cantonal passbüro appointments.
The Swiss Federal Office of Police (fedpol) enforces strict criteria for passfoto submissions across all cantons. The mandatory specification is 35 mm wide by 45 mm high, with head height measuring between 29 mm and 34 mm from chin to skull crown.
Fedpol requires a shadowless, pattern-free light grey or cream background. The face must be fully uncovered with a calm, neutral facial expression and no head tilts.
Official Swiss Passfoto Requirements (fedpol)
- Dimensions: Exactly 35 mm wide by 45 mm high (413 × 531 px at 300 DPI).
- Face Dimension: 29 mm to 34 mm from bottom of chin to top of skull (excluding hair volume).
- Background: Solid, uniform light grey or light cream background without shadows or gradients.
- Facial Demeanor: Relaxed facial features with closed mouth and direct gaze into the lens. Smiling is prohibited.
- Eyeglasses: Allowed only if eyes remain completely visible with zero flash glare, and frames do not overlap the eyes.
- Headwear: Permitted only for religious reasons, provided the face is clearly visible from chin tip to forehead.
Worked Example: Sizing a Passfoto for a Cantonal Passbüro Appointment
Consider an applicant preparing photos for a Swiss passport renewal:
- Input Image: A 2400 × 3200 pixel portrait captured in diffuse ambient daylight (2.6 MB JPEG).
- Standard Selected: Switzerland Fedpol (35 × 45 mm, 413 × 531 px at 300 DPI).
- Matrix Alignment: The user moves the guideline handles so the chin rests on the base guide and the top of the skull touches the 32 mm marker against a light grey wall.
- Export Output: A 300 DPI photo sheet carrying 4 identical 35 × 45 mm cutouts formatted onto a 10 × 15 cm card ready for printing.
Processing Transparency: Local Execution and Ephemeral GPU
How Swiss passfoto processing operates:
- Client-Side Fedpol Geometry: 35 × 45 mm dimension locking, 29–34 mm head height overlay markers, and multi-up sheet tiling operate exclusively in local browser RAM via HTML5 Canvas.
- Ephemeral GPU Segmentation: Choosing automated background clearing streams the image securely to a temporary GPU instance that isolates the subject and flushes the buffer from memory upon return.
