Auto-sized for Schengen Schengen Visa
A Schengen Schengen Visa photo must be 35×45mm (413×531 pixels at 300 DPI) with a light grey or white background. The file size should be under 500KB and at least 10KB, saved as a JPEG. The face should occupy 70-80% of height of the frame. 35x45mm, neutral expression, recent photo, no shadows. This tool crops your photo to these exact dimensions and compresses it to the required file size automatically, entirely in your browser.
To make a Schengen Schengen Visa photo at home: take a clear, front-facing photo against a plain light grey or white wall in even lighting, upload it to this tool, adjust the crop so your face fills 70-80% of height of the frame, and download. The tool outputs the exact 413×531px size and compresses under 500KB so it is accepted by the official portal. No studio visit or payment is needed, and your photo never leaves your device.
The most common reasons a Schengen Schengen Visa photo is rejected are: wrong dimensions (not 35×45mm), file size over 500KB, a non-light background, shadows on the face or background, wearing glasses or head coverings, a non-neutral expression, or an old photo. 35x45mm, neutral expression, recent photo, no shadows. Using a tool pre-configured to the exact Schengen specification removes the size and dimension errors, which are the most frequent causes of rejection.
