How to use the answer
Start with the width answer
If the search or form only says 3.5 cm, use the single-width conversion first instead of jumping straight to passport instructions.
Add height only when needed
Use the full 3.5 x 4.5 cm size only when the requirement is a complete photo, passport-style crop, or 35 x 45 mm document image.
Open the tool for the final file
Use the browser-based tool when you need a real JPG output, crop help, or a private no-login workflow for upload forms.
