Singapore Employment Pass Photo (35×45mm) — Free Online, MOM-Compliant

Singapore Employment Pass (EP) photos are 35×45 mm with a plain white background — the same ICA biometric format used for the Singapore passport. For digital upload through the MOM EP Online portal, the file is 400×514 pixels in JPG, JPEG, HEIC, HEIF, or PNG, under 8 MB.

Yes. EP photo requirements are the same regardless of nationality. Foreign professionals applying for or renewing an Employment Pass through the MOM EP Online portal submit the standard 35×45 mm ICA photo. This tool exports a JPG sized for the portal upload and a print-ready PDF, processed entirely in your browser.

Your employer (or employment agent) submits the EP application through MOM EP Online, including the photo. You provide the photo to them in the required format. Many candidates send the digital file in advance to speed up the application — this tool produces that file ready to attach.

Same dimensions (35×45 mm) and same ICA standard. The EP, S Pass, Work Permit, Dependant Pass, Student Pass, and Long-Term Visit Pass all use the same biometric format as the Singapore passport and NRIC — one photo prepared correctly works across MOM and ICA submissions.

No. MOM EP Online uses the same ICA validation engine as the passport portal, which rejects photos modified by image-editing software. IDPhotoSnap only crops the image and replaces the background with plain white — no skin smoothing, no relighting, no beautification — which keeps the photo within what ICA and MOM accept.

Yes. Religious head coverings are permitted as long as the face is fully visible from forehead to chin and both ears are not obscured in a way that hides identifying features.

Within the last 3 months — Singapore uses a stricter freshness window than the 6 months common in many other countries.

No. All processing happens locally in your browser via WebAssembly. Your photo never reaches a server — verifiable in the browser DevTools Network tab.
