Visa photo sizes in this tool
The presets cover common visa formats: US visa at 2×2 in (600×600 px at 300 DPI), Schengen visa at 35×45 mm, and China visa at 33×48 mm. The same list includes passport sizes for India, the UK and Canada, because many visa applications use the same dimensions as the country's passport photo.
Visa rules are set by the destination country, not your own, and they can differ from passport rules even when the size is the same. Embassies and visa centres also update requirements, so confirm the size, background colour and any digital upload limits on the official visa website before you start.
How to make a visa photo online
Upload a clear, front-facing photo taken against a plain wall. Select the visa type and the preview crops to that shape, centred, with an oval face guide and lines for the top of the head and the chin. Use the Zoom slider to fit your face; the crop cannot be dragged, so a photo with your face centred works best.
If the background is not plain, pick white or light grey, which many visa authorities ask for; selecting a colour automatically turns on background replacement. Download a single JPG for an online application, or choose Print sheet to get several copies on a 6×4 in page.
Common reasons visa photos are rejected
Shadows on the face or behind the head, uneven lighting and a background that is patterned or not light enough are frequent problems. So are a head that is too small or too large in the frame, a tilted head, an open-mouth smile, closed eyes, and glare on glasses. Photos that are blurry, edited with filters, or more than a few months old can also be refused.
Some online visa applications check the photo automatically and may reject a picture that a person would accept. This tool does not run those checks: it has no face detection and cannot confirm compliance. Use it to get the size and background right, and follow the official guidance for everything else.
