Format a permanent resident card photo to the current IRCC 50x70mm spec.
Direct answer: Canada PR card photos use a 50mm x 70mm format, and IRCC lists a digital photo dimension range of 715x1000 to 2000x2800 pixels with a 4MB-or-less file size limit. This tool resizes and crops locally, but you still need to confirm photo quality and application-specific upload rules.
Take a forward-facing photo against a plain white/light background. 100% private — processed locally on your device.
IRCC uses the same physical dimensions as Canadian passport-style photos.
Measured from chin to crown, excluding hair.
Use the official IRCC page as the final source before submitting.
Quality check: Use a recent, sharp, front-facing photo with even lighting, eyes open, neutral expression, and no harsh shadows.
Background check: Use the background color listed by the destination agency. White or off-white is common, but not universal.
Acceptance limit: This tool crops, resizes, and exports images. It cannot guarantee government or portal acceptance, and it cannot verify identity, biometric acceptability, image recency, photographer-stamp rules, or final portal acceptance.
Printing: Print 4x6 sheets at 100% actual size with no border and no fit-to-page scaling, then measure the final photo before cutting.
