Schengen visa photo requirements
The preset is 35 × 45 mm at 300 dpi (413 × 531 pixels). Guide lines show a typical head height for this format; they help with framing but do not check your photo against any official standard.
Visa photo rules — head size, background colour, lighting, expression, glasses and how recent the photo must be — are set by the consulate or visa centre that handles your application and can differ between countries and over time. Read your consulate’s current checklist before printing.
The print sheet fits eight copies on 10 × 15 cm or 4 × 6 in photo paper with thin cut lines.

Frequently asked questions
What size does this tool produce?
35 × 45 mm at 300 dpi, i.e. 413 × 531 pixels. This is a widely used visa photo size, but confirm it in your consulate’s current requirements.
Is the requirement the same for every Schengen country?
Many use the same size, but details can differ by consulate and change over time. Always follow the checklist of the consulate or visa centre handling your application.
How do I print the photos?
Choose the 10×15 cm print sheet — it holds eight copies — and print it on photo paper of that size at 100% scale, at home or at a photo kiosk. Do not use “fit to page”. Then cut along the thin lines.
Can I change the size?
Yes. All presets are only starting points. Pick “Custom size” to enter any width and height in millimetres and choose 300 or 600 dpi.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Cropping and resizing happen in your browser on your device. The photo is never sent to a server.
