A UK digital passport photo needs enough resolution to show the face clearly. The commonly stated minimum is 600 pixels wide by 750 pixels high, so a smaller image may be rejected or look soft after resizing. Use an original photo with even lighting, crop to the correct portrait proportions, and avoid filters or artificial background edits. Check the current GOV.UK guidance because requirements can change.
