Schengen Visa Photo Requirements
- Size 35x45 mm — — the standard frame accepted by every Schengen consulate, the same format as a European ID photo
- Head 32-36 mm — — from chin to the top of the head, roughly 70-80% of the frame height, with the face centered
- Light uniform background — — light gray or off-white without patterns, objects or shadows behind the head
- Neutral expression — — mouth closed, eyes open and clearly visible, looking straight into the camera
- Both ears and the face outline visible — — no hair covering the eyes, headwear only for religious reasons and never covering the face
- No glare on glasses — — tinted lenses and thick frames that hide the eyes are rejected; the safest option is a photo without glasses

Why a Schengen Photo Differs From a Passport Photo
A Schengen visa photo uses the same 35x45 mm frame as many national ID photos, but consulates check it against the common EU standard rather than a national one. The differences that get applications returned are the background — it must be light and uniform rather than pure white with shadows — and the head size, which has to fall between 32 and 36 mm. A photo taken for a driving licence or a work pass usually fails on one of those two points. AI rebuilds the frame from your own photo: it detects the face, replaces the background, aligns the head to the required proportion and evens out the lighting, so the same selfie can be reused for the whole application.
Schengen Visa Photo FAQ
What size is a Schengen visa photo?
35x45 mm — 3.5 by 4.5 centimeters. The head takes 32-36 mm from chin to crown, which is about 70-80% of the frame height.
What background is required?
A light, uniform background — light gray or off-white. A pure white background is usually accepted too, but it must be free of shadows and gradients. AI replaces whatever is behind you with a clean light backdrop.
Can I wear glasses?
Only if the eyes are fully visible with no glare and the frames do not cover them. Tinted or reflective lenses are not accepted. If you are unsure, use a photo without glasses.
Will the consulate accept this photo?
AI builds the photo to the common Schengen standard — 35x45 mm, light background, correct head size and neutral expression. Requirements can still differ slightly between consulates, so check the guidance of the country you are applying to before you submit.
Is it free?
Yes. New users get starter energy points — no sign-up needed, and enough to make your first visa photo.
