What these millimetres work out to
- In a 51 × 51 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 35.7–40.8 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 51 mm of height that leaves 10.2–15.3 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 422–482 pixels tall — below 422 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
- Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.46 times as wide, 1.13 times as tall and 1.65 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.
What this document is
Cameroon accepts visa applications through its official online portal, evisacam.cm. It is the government channel for a Cameroonian visa and is separate from passcam.cm, the platform that handles passports for Cameroonian citizens.
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 51 × 51 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
Do not confuse it with another Cameroon document
Cameroon does not use one frame for everything. This page is about visa — 51 × 51 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 51 × 51 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 602 × 602 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
Cameroon-specific things to know
- Cameroon's ordinary e-visa list names no photograph at all — the documents are scanned (pdf or jpg) and uploaded — while diplomatic and service visas filed at the embassy take two identity photos.
- After an electronic authorisation the visa can be stamped at the entry checkpoint, where the applicant's «electronic parameters» are collected.
