The 35×45 mm European standard
Schengen visa applications and most EU passports use a 35×45 mm portrait photo, and the same preset covers both. Selecting it locks the frame to that ratio and renders at 413×531 px (300 DPI) or 827×1063 px (600 DPI) — resolutions that hold up when printed small. The head-guide oval and eye line show where to place the face; drag to move, scroll to zoom, and fill the background white.
One photo, many consulates
Because every Schengen member issues visas against a shared photo standard, one correctly sized 35×45 mm image works across the bloc — but individual consulates publish their own guidance on expression, glasses and head coverings, so read theirs before submitting. Print a 4×6 inch or A4 sheet of copies with cut lines and take it to any photo kiosk. Everything runs locally; nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my photo uploaded to make the passport photo?
- No. Everything — cropping, sizing, the background and the print sheet — is done locally in your browser with the Canvas API. Your photo never leaves your device.
- Which passport and ID sizes are supported?
- US passport/visa (2×2 in), EU/Schengen (35×45 mm), UK, India, China visa (33×48 mm), Canada, Australia, Japan and a generic ID size — plus any custom size you enter in millimeters. Each is exported at 300 or 600 DPI.
- How do I position the head correctly?
- A head-position guide (an oval with eye and center lines) is overlaid on the frame. Drag your photo to move it and scroll to zoom until the head and eyes sit inside the guide, matching official requirements.
- Can I get a printable sheet?
- Yes. Choose the 4×6 inch or A4 sheet option and PixelVault tiles as many copies as fit, with thin cut lines, so you can print them at home or at a photo kiosk and cut them out.
- How do I get a plain white background?
- Pick White (or any color) and it fills behind your photo. For a clean cut-out from a busy background, run your photo through the Remove Background tool first, then bring the transparent result here.
