  • Every measurement comes from the published spec, linked below.
A woman in a cream knit sweater sitting on a dark green sofa in front of bright net curtains, facing the camera — an ordinary photo taken at home, of an AI-generated model rather than a real customer.
The same photo finished as a Schengen visa photo: the room removed, plain light background, her head cropped taller in the frame as the consulates require.
The person is an AI-generated model, not a customer — but the finished photos are real: they are the files our live pipeline returned when that photo was run against the spec below.

What you get, before you upload anything

This is the photo you download — and the report that comes with it, pass or fail.

Your selfieThe starting selfie: a woman in a cream knit sweater sitting on a dark green sofa in front of a bright curtained window, with the room filling most of the frame.
What you downloadThe finished Schengen visa photo: the same woman, head and shoulders on a plain light grey background, cropped to the taller 35 by 45 mm portrait shape.
The model is AI-generated — not a customer. The photo on the right is the file our pipeline returned when that exact selfie was run against the spec on this page, not a mock-up and not retouched afterwards.

2 things need a retake — you weren't charged. Fix these and re-upload — we remake it free every time.

Needs a retake

    These photos can't include glasses — take them off and retake. Reflections and frames are a top rejection reason.
  • Something dark behind your shoulder
    A dark object survives the background cleanup. Retake with clear space behind you.
What we changedAuto
  • Cropped to the official frame
    Head sized to 59% of the frame, eyes on the required line.
  • Saved as a compliant JPEG
    87 KB — under the size limit.
All 5 checks passed on your new photo
  • One person, facing the camera
  • Eyes open, neutral expression
  • Head straight

About 4 in 10 first uploads fail a check — the portal would have rejected those too. Retakes are free — up to 20 tries an hour. We only get paid when it passes.
