AI Image Tools
A wallet-size photo is 2.5 by 3.5 inches (6.35 by 8.89 cm), which is 750 by 1,050 pixels at 300 DPI. Here are the sizes, how to make one, and how it differs from ID photo sizes.
A standard wallet-size photo is 2.5 × 3.5 inches (6.35 × 8.89 cm), or 750 × 1,050 pixels at 300 DPI. Wallet prints are usually sold in sheets of several, so you upload one image and the lab fits them to a 4×6 or 5×7 sheet.

What Size Is a Wallet Photo?
Wallet photos are small prints sized to slip into a wallet's photo sleeve. The common size is 2.5 × 3.5 inches. Some labs and photographers call slightly different sizes "wallet", so check the dimensions on your order.
How to Prepare a Wallet-Size Photo
- Start with a photo of at least 750 × 1,050 pixels (more is fine).
- Crop to a 5:7 portrait ratio so faces aren't cut off.
- Upload to a print service and choose the wallet option, which often prints multiple copies on one sheet.
If the photo is small or soft, clean it up first: upscale it (2x free, small watermark on free downloads) or denoise it.
Wallet Size vs. ID and Passport Photo Sizes
Passport and visa photos follow each country's rules, which differ in size, head position and background. For example, a US passport photo is 2 × 2 inches. Don't use a wallet print as an ID photo; follow the issuing authority's requirements. For white backgrounds, see how to make a passport photo background white.
