35×45 mm · 413×531 px @ 300 DPI
Government photo-ID applications enforce strict pixel and millimetre specifications because rejection costs the applicant another visit and the issuing office processing time. Schengen Visa / EU Passport Photo is the spec used for the Schengen passport / visa photo standard; if your submitted image misses the dimensions or compression ceiling, the system flags it before a human sees it. This preset crops to 35×45 mm passport and exports 413×531 JPEG @ 300 DPI, matching the published guideline. Most rejections happen for one of three reasons: wrong physical dimensions, non-white background, or the source resolution was too low to upscale cleanly to 413×531 JPEG @ 300 DPI.

The Schengen photo standard is administered by Schengen-area consular services (each member state issues separately). European Union member states have generally aligned with the 413×531 px specification at 300 DPI, though local rejection criteria vary.
Where this preset's output is accepted: Schengen short-stay visa (Type C), uniform-format Schengen residence permits, and visa applications submitted via VFS, TLScontact, or directly at member-state consulates.
Travel-document context: the Schengen zone covers 29 European member states; a Schengen visa grants travel across the area for up to 90 days within any 180-day window, with millions of applications processed annually. The photo specifications described on this page apply to the document used for that travel.
Country-specific note: the Schengen photo must have been taken within the last 3-6 months depending on the consulate; some member states (Germany, France, Italy) print local additional guidance about head-tilt, glasses, and head coverings. Run this preset, then verify the result against the official guidelines linked in the specifications table above before submitting.
This preset is a deterministic recipe — every step has fixed parameters so the result is byte-identical across runs of the same input.
Schengen Visa / EU Passport Photo crops your input to 35:45 and resizes it to 413×531 px as JPEG — a 219-kilopixel output. The work runs through canvas APIs and a WebAssembly image-encoder; the source image is decoded into an off-screen canvas, transformed in place, and re-encoded without any network upload.
Government photo-ID portals pre-validate the image dimensions before accepting upload; matching the spec exactly skips the rejection round-trip. The browser-side path also means the file never leaves your device — relevant when the input contains personally identifiable information, screenshots of private documents, ID scans, or proprietary product photography.
413×531 px at 300 DPI, saved as JPEG at quality 92%.
The Schengen Visa / EU Passport Photo regulation specifies a printed photo of 35×45 mm. The pixel ratio matches the millimetre ratio so the image prints at the correct physical size when the file is opened at 300 DPI.
300 DPI is the print-grade resolution at which the dot pattern disappears at normal reading distance. Government photo offices, commercial print shops, and biometric scanners all assume 300 DPI; anything lower prints visibly soft.
The target accepts JPEG, and JPEG compresses photographic content 5-10× smaller than PNG with no visible difference at quality 92%. PNG is the right choice only when the image has hard edges or transparency — which photo-ID, social posts, and product photos don't.
No. This preset runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly + canvas APIs — no server round-trip. You can verify this in your browser's network panel: only static asset requests, no image upload. The file never leaves your device.
