The size depends on the destination and application route. Pick the destination to load its recorded dimensions, then compare them with the current embassy, consulate or application-centre instructions.

2×2 inches (51×51mm), square, on a white background. It's the same spec as the US passport photo.

35×45mm, with the head taking up roughly 70–80% of the frame.

There is no single safe shade for every member-state workflow. The generic preset uses light grey, but destination instructions differ; compare the result with the mission handling your application.

The requirement depends on the UK application route. For a route requesting a 35×45mm printed photo, use the linked UK guidance for its current background, expression and glasses rules rather than assuming another country's preset applies.

35×45mm for visitor visas and study or work permits. Permanent residence and Express Entry are a separate process specified in pixels rather than millimetres, and the printed Canadian passport booklet is different again at 50×70mm.

35–40mm wide by 45–50mm high on a plain light background. We use 35×45mm.

Check the visa's own rules before assuming so. Matching size and background is not always enough — the UK, for one, states the photo you submit must not be the one already in your passport or identity document. Where that applies, take a second photo to the same specification rather than reusing the print.

Expression and glasses rules vary by destination. A neutral, unobstructed face is a conservative starting point, but follow the current instruction for the application you are making.

Generate the destination preset, then compare its encoded format, pixel dimensions and KB size with the exact values shown on your current VFS upload screen. Resize only the fields that screen actually specifies.

It depends on the consulate, so you get both a print-ready and an upload-ready file.

Yes, completely free with no watermark.

No, it's processed entirely on your device.

Recency windows vary. Check the destination's current instruction and use a photo that still represents your appearance.

Use the encoded format and KB or pixel limits displayed by the active portal. If it publishes a cap, the resize tools can target that value without inventing an unstated limit.

Compare the actual file with the portal's stated dimensions, encoded format, KB band, background, expression and recency rules. Automated checks can inspect measurable properties but cannot predict an authority's decision.
