Questions
Which countries accept a 35×45 mm photo?
This size is the standard for France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Greece, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland and Norway. Individual applications can add their own rules, so it is worth a glance at the form you are filling in.
How big does the head have to be in the frame?
Between 32 mm and 36 mm from the chin to the top of the head. The two dashed lines on the crop are placed at that measurement, so lining the face up with them puts the head inside the accepted range.
Does this replace the background?
No, and that is deliberate. Automatic background removal cuts into hair and ears, and a photo with a chewed outline is rejected on sight. Take the photo against a plain wall instead. Plain light grey or off-white, evenly lit with no shadow behind the head.
Can I print these at home or at a shop?
Yes. After the photo is made you can build a 6×4 inch sheet with several copies tiled on it and faint cut lines. Print shops and pharmacy kiosks charge per 6×4 print, so one sheet costs the same as one photo.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens inside your browser using the canvas built into it. Nothing is sent to a server, nothing is stored, and the page keeps working if you disconnect from the internet after it loads.
Is this the same as "schengen visa photo size"?
Yes. It also gets called "europe visa photo" and "photo size for schengen visa". They all describe this one job, and this page does it.
