A 35 × 45 mm visa photo with a plain, light background
The Schengen visa photo uses the international 35 × 45 mm format, with a plain, light background and a neutral face. We crop your selfie to this format, replace the background with an even light grey one and check sharpness and brightness. Other countries use the same format, such as Canada, which accepts a plain white or light-colored background.
Check the format required by your destination
Some visas require a different format: 51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 inches) for the United States and India, 33 × 48 mm for China. We do not generate these formats yet. Before applying, check the photo requirements published by the consulate or the official visa website of your destination.
