- 35x45 mm, the ICAO standard. This tool exports 827x1063 pixels, which prints at 600 DPI. Some consulates have their own digital limits, so check theirs.
- How big should my head be?
- From chin to crown, your head should measure 32–36 mm of the 45 mm height (71–80%). The tool sizes it to 75% by default; adjust with the head size slider.
- What background color is required?
- A plain light-coloured background, usually light grey or off-white, with no shadows. Keep the background toggle on to replace yours automatically.
- Does this work for every Schengen country?
- The 35x45 mm format applies across the Schengen area, but individual consulates or visa centres may add rules. Check your consulate's checklist.
- Can I smile or wear glasses?
- Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed and eyes open. Glasses should be avoided, and head coverings are allowed only for religious reasons with your face visible.
- What file formats can I export?
- You can export as PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, or HEIC.
