Before
AfterHow to Make a Schengen Visa Photo
Upload
JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 25MB. A head-and-shoulders photo works better than a full-body shot.
Cutout
The person is cut out. Pick white or light gray. Shadows on the face stay as they are.
Move the Frame
The 35×45 mm frame starts on the face when the browser can find one. Otherwise it starts on the person. Drag and zoom. Head size is not measured.
Download Both Files
The free file is a watermarked crop. $1.99 with no sign-up, or 1 credit, unlocks a zip with the 35×45 mm photo and the 4×6 sheet.
A 35×45 mm Crop and a Print Sheet
This page makes a Schengen visa photo at the common 35×45 mm size: one 413×531 px file, plus a 4×6 inch sheet with six copies of that same crop. You upload a photo, the person is cut out, and you place them on white or light gray. A 35×45 mm frame starts on the face when this browser can find one. Drag the frame or use the slider, then download.
For reference only. The single file is 413×531 px, which is 35×45 mm at 300 px per inch. The sheet is 1200×1800 px (4×6 inches, about 10×15 cm) with six copies and a margin so you can cut between them. The file meets the common 35×45 mm Schengen photo size, and every Schengen visa photo crop here is made in the browser from your own upload. It does not check head size, eye line, expression, glasses, clothing, or the exact background a country asks for. Follow the embassy's own photo rules before you use the file.
A 35x45 mm visa photo is 413×531 px at 300 px per inch, and that is the size of the single file on this page. A US 2×2 inch photo (600×600 px) is a different size, on 2×2 passport photo. A plain white backdrop with no crop stays on passport photo background. Reference white, blue, or red with no crop stays on ID photo background. A plain cutout with no crop is the general background remover.
What the Two Files Are
One payment covers both print files. They are made in your browser from the full-size cutout, so the crop and the color you see are the crop and the color you download. Paying does not run the cutout again.
| File | Pixels | Print size | What is in it |
|---|---|---|---|
| schengen-35x45.png | 413×531 | 35×45 mm at 300 px per inch | One crop, on white or light gray |
| schengen-4x6-sheet.png | 1200×1800 | 4×6 inches, about 10×15 cm | Six copies, 2 columns by 3 rows, with a margin |
For reference only. The file meets the common 35×45 mm Schengen photo size. Six copies do not fill a 4×6 sheet exactly, so the sheet leaves a margin. Cut between the copies. The embassy sets background color and head size.
White, Light Gray, and Where the Frame Starts
White
Pure white, #FFFFFF. A common studio backdrop. It is not a promise that every embassy wants white.
Light gray
An even light gray, #E8E8E8. Some visa photos use a light gray wall. It is not a country's required hex.
Face, when the browser can find one
Chromium browsers can find a face with no extra download. The frame starts with that face in the upper part. It is a starting point, not a measurement of your head.
Your drag wins
Move the frame and the zoom slider until the head sits where you want. The print files use that frame. Reset puts the starting frame back.
What People Use the Files For
A 35×45 mm photo
One 413×531 px file to print or attach where a 35×45 mm photo is requested.
A 4×6 sheet
Six copies on one sheet, so a home printer or a photo kiosk can print them together.
A snapshot you already have
Start from a photo you took, then move the frame. It does not retake the photo.
Not a US 2×2 photo
600×600 px belongs on the 2×2 page linked above. This page does not make that size.
Before You Upload
Have someone else take it
Face the camera in even light. A selfie at arm's length is harder to frame.
Leave room around the head
If the top of the head is already cut off in the upload, the frame cannot put it back.
Use the original file
A screenshot is smaller and softer. The 413×531 file scales up a small original and can look soft.
Read the embassy note
Countries in the Schengen area do not all use the same background or the same head size. This page only sets the common 35×45 mm size.
Read This Before You Print
For reference only. The file meets the common 35×45 mm Schengen photo size. It does not check the rest, and it does not produce a checked photo.
- The output size is 413×531 px and a 1200×1800 px sheet. That is 35×45 mm and 4×6 inches at 300 px per inch. It is not a check of head size, eyes, expression, glasses, clothing, or a country's background color.
- White is #FFFFFF. Light gray is #E8E8E8. Neither hex is a national standard.
- The free download is a watermarked crop, smaller than 413×531 when the crop is larger than 512 px on the long side. The zip from $1.99 or one credit holds both print files, with no watermark.
- A small original is scaled up to 413×531 and can look soft.
- The six copies have a margin between them. Cut between them. They are not edge to edge.
- One person facing the camera works best. On a group photo, drag the frame onto one person.
- It does not retouch the face, remove glare on glasses, or change expression.

Schengen Visa Photo FAQ
What is the Schengen visa photo size?
The single file on this page is 413×531 px, which is 35×45 mm at 300 px per inch. That is the common Schengen visa photo size used here. For reference only. The embassy sets head size, expression, glasses, and the exact background.
Is an EU visa photo 35×45 mm?
Many EU and Schengen visa photos use 35×45 mm. This Schengen visa photo maker produces that size, on white or light gray. It does not check which color or head proportion a given embassy wants. Follow that embassy's own photo rules.
Is a 35x45 passport photo the same as a US 2×2 photo?
No. A 35×45 mm photo is 413×531 px here. A US 2×2 inch photo is 600×600 px, on 2×2 passport photo. This page does not make a 2×2 inch file.
What does $1.99 include?
A zip with two files: schengen-35x45.png and schengen-4x6-sheet.png. No watermark, no account. The same pair is one HD credit if you are signed in and have a credit. The free download is only a watermarked crop. Paying does not run the cutout again.
Can I move the crop and change the color?
Yes. Drag the frame, use the zoom slider, and pick white or light gray. If this browser can find a face, the frame starts there. If not, it starts on the person. Reset puts that starting frame back. The color stays the one you picked.
Does this check the photo against an embassy's rules?
No. For reference only. The file meets the common 35×45 mm Schengen photo size. Background color, head size, and the rest follow the embassy. Nothing here is a checked document photo.
Where do I only change a color, or make a US photo?
Plain white with no crop is passport photo background. Reference white, blue, or red is ID photo background. A US 2×2 inch crop is 2×2 passport photo. Glare on glasses is a different page. This page does not remove it.
