What these millimetres work out to
- In a 36 × 47 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 32.9–37.6 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 47 mm of height that leaves 9.4–14.1 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 389–444 pixels tall — below 389 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
- Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.03 times as wide, 1.04 times as tall and 1.07 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.
How to crop it, in three steps
- 01
Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light
- 02
The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%
- 03
Save the 36 × 47 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
Do not confuse it with another Albania document
Albania does not use one frame for everything. This page is about visa — 36 × 47 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background without textures or noticeable gradients.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 36 × 47 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 425 × 555 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Albania-specific things to know
- The two language versions differ: only the Albanian text gives «47mm-36mm»; the English text says «passport sized», so, unlike the usual Schengen 35 × 45 mm, follow the Albanian figure.
- Only one photograph and a six-month limit are stated: no background colour, no head size, no glasses rule on the pages read.
- The paper documents, photograph included, are deposited only after the online application is accepted.
