Frequently asked questions
What size is a visa photo?
Most visa photos are 35×45mm; US visas use 2×2 inches. Pick your destination and we apply the right size.
What size is a US visa photo for DS-160?
2×2 inches (51×51mm), square, on a white background — the same spec as the US passport photo.
What size is a Schengen visa photo?
35×45mm, with the head taking up roughly 70–80% of the frame.
What background should a Schengen visa photo have?
Light grey is safest — pure white is a known rejection risk at French and Swiss consulates, so we default to light grey.
What are the UK visa photo requirements?
35×45mm, a plain light-grey or cream background, a neutral expression, and no glasses.
What size is a Canada visa photo?
35×45mm for visas, study and work permits, and PR — different from the 50×70mm Canadian passport print.
What size is an Australia visa photo?
35–40mm wide by 45–50mm high on a plain light background; we use 35×45mm.
Can I use the same photo for my passport and visa?
Often yes if the size and background match, but check both specs because some visas differ.
Can I smile or wear glasses in a visa photo?
Keep a neutral expression and remove glasses — most consulates require it.
How do I upload a visa photo to VFS Global online?
Use the digital file we generate; it's sized correctly and compressed under typical portal limits. Confirm the exact limit on your VFS page.
Do I need a printed or digital visa photo?
It depends on the consulate, so you get both a print-ready and an upload-ready file.
Is the visa photo maker free?
Yes — completely free with no watermark.
Is my photo uploaded when I make a visa photo?
No, it's processed entirely on your device.
How recent does a visa photo need to be?
Most countries require it to be taken within the last six months and to match how you currently look.
What file format and size do online visa portals want?
Usually a JPG under a set KB limit. Use the resize tool if your portal caps the file size.
Why was my visa photo rejected?
Common reasons are the wrong size, wrong background, glasses, smiling, shadows, or an old photo. The compliance check catches the sizing and background issues.
