Crop a photo to — Chile residence permit
Upload a photo — the frame is already set for a Chile residence permit. Ready to print or upload.
Upload your photo
The photo is cropped in your browser. It is not uploaded to a server and we do not store it.
How to crop it, in three steps
- Upload the photo you want to resize.
- Pick the country and document — the exact size and head ratio come from that profile.
- Download the result — cropped, resized and face-aligned entirely in your browser.
Exact numbers for this document
| Parameter | What it must be |
|---|---|
| Background | Plain white background. #ffffff |
| Glasses | Glasses prohibited. |
| Head covering | Religious reasons only; must not cover the facial oval. |
What cropping will not fix
- A wrong background — cropping does not repaint the wall behind you. This document needs: plain white
- A shadow on the face or on the wall. Step 1–2 m away from the wall and shoot facing a window.
- Glasses in the frame. This document does not accept them at all — take them off and shoot again.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
| Reason | Fix |
|---|---|
| Background not pure white | Re-shoot against white backdrop |
| Glasses or hats worn (non-religious) | Remove before capture |
| Photo not in JPG/PNG format | Re-export to supported format |
| Photo too old | Re-shoot — submit close to application date |
Chile-specific things to know
- PDI (Investigations Police) issues registration certificate
