How to take a photo that passes
- Stand about 50 cm in front of a plain white or light wall, facing a window or soft light so there are no shadows.
- Have someone else take the photo at your eye level from about 1.5 m away. Avoid selfies: they distort the face.
- Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, mouth closed, both eyes open, hair away from the eyes.
- Remove glasses unless the rules for your document allow them, and avoid hats and head coverings unless worn for religious or medical reasons.
- Crop it here, then check the result against the official rules before you submit.
Frequently asked questions
Is this visa photo maker free?
Yes. It crops your photo to the official size, adds a print sheet, and runs entirely in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded.
Can I take a visa photo with my phone?
Yes. Ask someone to take it from about 1.5 metres away at eye level, facing a plain light wall with even light and no shadows. Then crop it here to the size your application needs.
Does the tool remove the background?
No. Stand in front of a plain white or light grey wall instead: removing a background automatically often leaves edges that consulates reject.
How do I print a visa photo?
Download the 4×6 inch print sheet and order a standard 10×15 cm photo print at any photo shop or pharmacy kiosk. Print it at 100% scale, then cut along the grey lines.
Why was my visa photo rejected?
The most common reasons are a head that is too small or too large, shadows on the face or background, glasses, a photo older than six months, and edits or filters. Check the rules listed for your document.
