About this tool
35 x 45 mm is what a Schengen visa needs: a portrait 7:9 frame, 1.38 x 1.77 inches on paper. Position the head in the guide and download. Schengen applications are processed by whichever member state you spend most time in, and each consulate runs its own checks - which is why applicants often print more copies than the form asks for. You need 413 x 531 pixels for a 300 DPI print, 827 x 1063 pixels at 600. Rather than paying per photo, download the 4x6 sheet - 8 copies laid out ready to cut. The image never leaves your computer. Cropping runs in the browser, which is the right default for a photo destined for a passport or an ID card. Requirements beyond the size - head height, background, expression, glasses - are set by the consulate of the Schengen country you are entering and do change. Check the current rules before you submit; this tool gets the dimensions exactly right, but it cannot know what was amended last month.
How to use this tool
- Upload a portraitAny phone photo works. A plain wall and even, front-on light gives the best result - nothing is uploaded anywhere.
- Position the headUse zoom and the position sliders until the head sits inside the guide. The crop is locked to 35 x 45 mm, so the wrong size cannot come out.
- DownloadTake the single photo at 413 x 531 pixels, or the 4x6 inch sheet with 8 copies ready to print.
Key features
- Free, no signup, no watermark, no per-photo charge.
- Outputs 413 x 531 pixels at 300 DPI, which is what print shops ask for.
- Crops to exactly 35 x 45 mm - the size the consulate of the Schengen country you are entering requires.
- Runs entirely in your browser - your photo never leaves your device.
- 4x6 inch print sheet with 8 copies, so one print gives you a full set.
Common uses
- Getting a correctly sized file for an application that needs an upload.
- Taking the photo at home when a studio visit is not practical.
- Printing a sheet at a supermarket kiosk instead of paying booth prices.
- Re-cropping a photo an online form rejected for being the wrong size.
- Anyone applying for a Schengen visa, preparing the photo before an appointment.
Tips for better results
- Download the sheet rather than the single photo if you are printing - 8 copies cost the same as one.
- Take several shots before cropping. Picking a good frame is far easier than rescuing a bad one.
- Print on photo paper, not plain paper. A 35 x 45 mm photo on copier stock is usually rejected on sight.
- Keep a neutral expression with both eyes open and the mouth closed unless the authority says otherwise.
Mistakes to avoid
- Cropping the head too large or too small. Head height is a separate requirement from photo size, and it is the most common reason for rejection.
- Submitting an old photo. Most authorities require one taken within the last six months.
- Scaling a small photo up to reach the pixel count. Start from the highest-resolution original you have.
- Reusing a crop made for a different country. 35 x 45 mm is specific to a Schengen visa, and a near-miss is still a rejection.
