Schengen visa photo, 35 × 45 mm
Consulates ask for 35 × 45 mm with the face at 70–80%. The EU Visa Handbook states no size at all — it defers to ICAO. Here is what to submit.
Open a photo
It stays on this device. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account, watermark or limit.
JPEG, PNG, WebP or HEIC. Drag a file here if you prefer.
Drag the blue line to the top of your hair, the red line to the bottom of your chin, and the green line to the centre of your face. The crop follows.
Every file carries its real print size, so a photo lab lays it out at the right dimensions instead of guessing 72 DPI.
