Frequently asked questions
What size is a visa photo?
It depends on the country: for example 35 × 45 mm for most Schengen countries and the United Kingdom, and 33 × 48 mm for China. Choose the country and the tool uses its size.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything, including background removal, runs in your browser.
Is a visa photo the same as a passport photo?
Often, but not always. Some countries use a different size or background for visas than for their own passports, which is why there is a separate visa photo tool.
Will the embassy accept it?
The size and background will match the preset, but embassies also check lighting, expression and photo age. Always confirm the official requirements for your visa.
