Schengen Visa Photo Maker

Crop a 35×45 mm visa photo and export a single image or 300 DPI 4×6 sheet. Your photo stays in this browser.

The embassy or consulate handling your application is the final authority.

Why this page uses 35×45 mm

Many Schengen visa checklists request a recent 35×45 mm colour photo. The European External Action Service also publishes location-specific guidance using the 45×35 mm passport format. Requirements can still vary by the member state, application centre and place of residence, so open the source in the tool and confirm the local checklist.

What the tool controls

It locks the 35:45 aspect ratio, exports approximately 413×531 pixels at 300 DPI, and calculates how many copies fit on 4×6 paper. It does not measure biometric landmarks, validate an online upload, or decide whether a print method is accepted.

Safe workflow

  1. Find the checklist for the Schengen country handling your application.
  2. Start with a recent, unedited photo and upload it here.
  3. Position the full face with clear space above the head.
  4. Download the single image or print sheet.
  5. Check background, expression, photo age and submission method against the local instructions.

Common questions

Is every Schengen photo exactly the same?

No. The common outer size does not make every consulate’s checklist identical.

Can this replace biometric collection?

No. A visa application centre may capture fingerprints or a digital photograph separately.

Does the crop guarantee acceptance?

No. It controls outer dimensions only.
