Guide
How it works & what to know
Practical details about this tool — written for people and search engines alike.
Across Schengen states the printed biometric photo is typically 35×45 mm. At 300 DPI that is about 413×531 pixels—the frame this page locks in.
Digital upload caps are set by each consulate or visa centre (VFS Global, TLScontact, BLS, and national portals such as France-Visas). Many sit near 200–240KB; some are stricter (around 100–120KB) and some allow more. This page defaults to 240KB after framing—a common “file too large” fix without over-crushing detail.
Need a Bewerbungsfoto instead of a visa centre upload? Use the European CV / Bewerbungsfoto page (200KB target, job-application guidance).
One 35×45 mm composition is used across Schengen countries, but each consulate or visa centre sets its own upload cap. If your portal rejects the file for size, try Compress Image to 100KB on the same JPEG, or confirm the exact KB limit on the application page and match it.
This tool does not replace official ICAO / member-state rules on background colour, head height, glasses, or expression. It focuses on the frame and a practical KB ceiling so the upload clears technical checks.
Read the instructions for the country you apply through. Printed photos for in-person centres and digital uploads for online forms are different workflows.
Final acceptance is decided by the consulate or visa centre—not by IMG Free Toolkit.
Visa photos are sensitive. Processing runs in your browser; images are not uploaded to our servers for this tool.
FAQ
Quick answers about privacy, formats, and what this tool can do.
35×45 mm (about 413×531 px at 300 DPI) is the common Schengen print/digital frame. Some portals ask for a larger file at the same aspect ratio—check your application page if it states minimum pixels.
Create the 413×531 photo here, then use Compress Image to 100KB if you still need a tighter ceiling. Portal limits vary; always follow the number shown on your form.
Same 35×45 mm frame, different job. The 40KB page is for portals with very tight exam/ID caps. Schengen / EU uploads usually allow more headroom—240KB keeps quality higher while still clearing many European size checks.
Use the European CV / Bewerbungsfoto page. It uses the same 35×45 mm frame with a 200KB target and job-application guidance instead of consulate upload rules.
No. Cropping, resizing, and compression run in your browser. Files are not uploaded to IMG Free Toolkit servers.
