What this document is
A Schengen visa (type C) is a short-stay visa for trips within the Schengen area. Under the EU Visa Code, Regulation (EC) No 810/2009, it covers stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. A longer stay needs a national type D visa or a residence permit.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain background without shadows per official Austrian Passbildkriterien.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 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 413 × 531 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
Austria-specific things to know
- Austria makes the ICAO-compliant photo one of the conditions of admissibility — an application with a non-compliant photo is not examined.
- The Ministry and the portal give the size (35 × 45 mm, portrait format) and the colour, and refer to «the specified passport photo criteria» instead of listing them on the visa page.
- Fingerprints are given at the application unless taken within the last 59 months — ten fingerprints, taken flat and digitally recorded.
Printing on a single sheet
4 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 8 copies from a single print.
Print at 100% scale, borderless, and turn off fit-to-page so each photo keeps its exact size.
