New Zealand Passport Offline
Choose this page when the route is print-first or offline and the physical handling still matters after the crop. This preset is digital-first, so visible crop, file format, and portal constraints all matter together.
Requirement summary
Get the framing right before you export
The route leans toward offline or print handling, so the physical result still matters after the crop looks right. For Passport Offline in New Zealand, use the matching page, keep the crop inside the stored head-size range, and fix mismatches with crop rather than stretching. This page is a working guide, not official approval, so the latest authority wording still matters before submission.
- Stored size: 900×1,200 px
- Head height target: about 64%
- Top margin target: about 8%
- Submission route in source data: print or offline
Need a clean background first?
Use a separate background-removal tool first, then come back here to match the crop, size, and final export.
Background cleanup opens on a third-party site. Clean the background there first, then come back here to crop and export.

Upload a portrait, choose a requirement profile, and prepare the final document photo in one browser workspace.
Who this format is for
Start by matching the document route, not the size alone.
Use this page when the checklist, search query, or local office wording refers to Passport Offline or to the exact New Zealand Passport Offline phrasing.
The imported page leans toward an offline or print-first workflow, so the physical result still matters.
Passport pages are usually decided by simple presentation details: face placement, clean background, visible eyes, and minimal risky editing.
Exact size and cropping guidance
Use the measured frame below instead of approximating the crop by eye.
The stored frame for Passport Offline on this route is 900×1,200 px.
Aim for head height around 64%. The recommended band on this page is 56% to 72%. Leave about 8% above the head, with an allowed range of 4% to 14%.
No exact pixel target is stored here, so preserve the ratio and confirm any destination limits separately.
- Physical requirement: 900×1,200 px
- Frame ratio: 900:1200
- Head-height band: 56% to 72%
- Solve mismatch with crop and proportional scaling only.
Digital vs print usage
Decide early whether the endpoint is a portal, a printer, or both.
Treat this route as digital-first. The crop has to look right, but the destination portal can still reject a file that misses its pixel, file-size, or format rules.
If the application ends in a portal, treat the portal limits as final even when the crop itself looks correct.
- Preferred format: JPG
- Allowed formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG
- Submission path on this page: print or offline
- Check the destination portal before you treat the job as finished.
What matters most for this specific document
The biggest rejection risk is not the same on every route.
Passport photos usually fail on basic presentation details: face position, clean background, glare, and over-editing.
No direct official source link is attached to this route, so anything beyond measurable crop and visible policy notes still needs manual confirmation.
- Route match first: New Zealand Passport Offline.
- Background rule on this route: Use a plain light background with even tone, no visible texture, and no distracting objects.
- Double-check: the latest authority wording for background, presentation, and delivery channel.
- Submission route in source data: print or offline
- Do not ignore glasses and glare guidance: Eyes should stay clearly visible, with no glare on the lenses.
- The crop tool keeps facial proportions intact. When the target ratio changes, adjust the crop and scale evenly instead of stretching the face.

Common mistakes for this format
Most failures start before export, not after it.
On highly similar routes, the usual pattern is choosing the wrong page first and then trying to rescue the file with edits.
- Choosing a nearby route before confirming the exact New Zealand Passport Offline profile.
- Forcing the portrait into 900×1,200 px by stretching instead of cropping to the right ratio.
- Stopping after the crop looks correct and forgetting the real upload constraints on the destination portal.
- Searching for Passport Offline but exporting from a generic preset for another document or country.
How to use this profile in the editor
Keep the page guidance and the active preset aligned all the way through export.
This page is most useful when you open the editor from here, keep the Passport Offline route active, and finish that document route before any risky retouching.
- Open the editor from this page so New Zealand Passport Offline loads as the active preset instead of a nearby route.
- Upload a source portrait with some room around the head and shoulders so the final ratio can be solved with crop, not distortion.
- Adjust the crop until head height is close to 64% and the top margin is near 8%.
- Check the measurable rules, file settings, and destination workflow before export.
- Preview and export should stay on the same crop geometry.
- Solve ratio mismatches with crop and proportional scaling before export, not with distortion afterward.

Open guideFAQ
What size does this Passport Offline photo use?
New Zealand Passport Offline uses 900×1,200 px. Aim for about 64% head height and about 8% above the head. No exact pixel target is stored on the page.
Do I need a specific pixel size or file size?
No exact pixel target is stored here. Preserve the ratio from this page and treat the destination portal or office instructions as final for file limits.
Why does the submission wording matter on this page?
Because the imported route stores an explicit submission context here. When the route is online, e-visa, or print-first, the file checks and final process can change even if the crop is close.
Is this route mainly for online upload?
Usually yes. The visible crop still matters, but the file also has to satisfy the destination portal’s technical rules.
Does this page guarantee acceptance on its own?
No. It is a practical guide for one specific profile, not official approval. Use it to prepare the file, then verify the latest authority instructions manually.
