What these millimetres work out to

  • In a 35 × 45 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 31.5–36 mm from the chin to the crown.
  • Of the 45 mm of height that leaves 9–13.5 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
  • At 300 dpi that is a head 372–425 pixels tall — below 372 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.

02Three steps

How to crop it, in three steps

  1. 01

    Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light

  2. 02

    The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%

  3. 03

    Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

Do not confuse it with another Belize document

Belize does not use one frame for everything. This page is about residence permit — 35 × 45 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

04What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white or off-white background.
  • 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.
