EU / Schengen Passport Photo Maker
Prepare a passport-photo crop for EU / Schengen using 35×45 mm and a plain light-grey background as a starting preset. Upload a clear portrait to preview positioning and run automated checks for resolution, head room, centring, and background. These checks are guidance, not approval. Schengen-style guidance commonly uses a 35×45 mm photo, but the issuing member state or consulate controls the current document rules. Verify its background, framing, file, and delivery requirements before use.

Frequently asked questions
- What size does the EU / Schengen passport-photo preset use?
- This page starts with a 35×45 mm output and plain light-grey background guidance. It is a preparation preset, not an approval result. Schengen-style guidance commonly uses a 35×45 mm photo, but the issuing member state or consulate controls the current document rules. Verify its background, framing, file, and delivery requirements before use.
- Is the EU / Schengen passport photo maker free?
- Sizing and a 300-DPI export are available without creating an account. AI auto-crop and automated photo checks use the displayed daily allowance; eligible paid plans lift the covered cap. Photos are processed on secure servers and auto-deleted afterwards.
- What does the automated EU / Schengen photo check actually verify?
- The automated report flags likely resolution, framing, head-size, centring, and background issues. It provides preparation guidance, not authority approval, and cannot fully check expression, glare, eye gaze, permitted editing, printing, or the latest administrative rules.
- Can I print the EU / Schengen photo at home?
- Printing and upload rules vary by member state, consulate, and document. Use the sheet only if the issuing authority accepts self-prepared prints at the selected physical size.
