Get your visa photo size right

A wrongly sized or cropped photo is one of the most common avoidable reasons a visa application is rejected at submission. Each country has its own exact specification — Schengen and the UK use 35×45 mm, the US uses 2×2 inches. This free tool lets you upload any photo, frame it to the correct proportions, and download it at the right pixel size, ready to print. Your image is processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded anywhere.

Photo tips that pass

Use a plain light background, face the camera squarely with a neutral expression, ensure even lighting with no shadows, and avoid glasses glare or head coverings (except for religious reasons). Then build the rest of your file with the document checklist.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens in your browser — your photo never leaves your device and nothing is stored.

Can I use a phone selfie?

You can crop one here, but for best results use a plain background and good lighting. Some consulates require a professional photo.
