Schengen Visa photo
Upload a photo and crop it to the exact Schengen Visa size (35 × 45 mm). FileTinker outputs it at 413 × 531 px and a true 300 DPI on a plain background — white by default, or any colour you pick — ready to print or upload. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

- Drag the crop box so your head and shoulders fit inside the oval guide — it's locked to the Schengen Visa aspect ratio.
- Click create and download your 35 × 45 mm photo at 413 × 531 px, ready to print or upload.
About Schengen Visa photos
A Schengen Visa photo must be 35 × 45 mm with your face centred, a neutral expression and a plain light background. FileTinker crops to that exact ratio and exports at 413 × 531 px and 300 DPI so it prints at the right physical size.
Everything runs in your browser, so your photo stays private. If your country isn't listed, the main passport-photo tool covers more sizes — and you can always crop here, then print several copies on one 6 × 4 in photo at home or at a kiosk.
Schengen visa photos follow the ICAO biometric standard: 35 × 45 mm with the face occupying 70–80% of the frame (roughly 32–36 mm chin to crown), a neutral expression, and even lighting with no shadows behind the head. The same format is shared across the Schengen countries' visa forms.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a Schengen Visa photo?
A Schengen Visa photo is 35 × 45 mm. FileTinker outputs it at exactly 413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI, which is the print resolution most authorities and photo labs expect.
What background colour will it have?
White by default — or pick off-white, light grey, light blue or a custom colour. Click Remove background in the tool first (the colour fills transparent areas); or take the photo against a plain light wall and keep your head and shoulders inside the oval guide.
Can I print it or upload it?
Yes. The 413 × 531 px, 300 DPI JPEG is sized for both — print it at 35 × 45 mm, or upload it wherever a digital Schengen Visa photo is required.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is cropped and resized entirely in your browser; it never leaves your device.
Can I use the same photo for any Schengen country?
Generally yes — the 35 × 45 mm biometric format is shared across Schengen members' visa applications. Individual consulates can add preferences on background shade or how recent the photo must be, so skim the checklist of the consulate you are applying through.
