What these millimetres work out to
- In a 50 × 50 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 35–40 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 50 mm of height that leaves 10–15 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 413–472 pixels tall — below 413 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
- Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.43 times as wide, 1.11 times as tall and 1.59 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 50 × 50 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white background.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 50 × 50 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 591 × 591 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glasses in the frame. This document does not accept them at all — take them off and shoot again.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Chile-specific things to know
- Chile asks for a square 5 × 5 cm photograph — not the 35 × 45 mm ICAO size — on a white background, full face, with no glasses, scarf or hat.
- The photograph is uploaded to the consular services platform, so there is no print to hand in; the Chilean pages publish no file format or size.
- The visa is required only of nationals of certain countries, for a stay of up to 90 days, and does not guarantee entry.
Printing on a single sheet
2 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 4 copies from a single print.

What the source confirms
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chile (consular site), «Autorización previa o visa», requirements: complete the form on the consular services platform explaining the reason for the trip and the length of stay; a request for multiple entries must be justified, specifying the number of entries; upload a colour photograph on a white background, passport size (5 × 5 cm), full face, without accessories such as glasses, scarf or hat; a copy of the personalisation sheet of the valid passport.
- Same page, the authorisation: it may authorise one or multiple entries and allows a stay of up to 90 days; once in Chile the permit can be extended for 90 days through the National Migration Service; holders of transitory stay may not carry out paid activities except in the cases of article 50 of law 21.325 and may not apply for a residence permit within Chile unless they meet the requirements of the regulation; it is requested on the consular services platform online.
- ChileAtiende, «Autorización previa o visa» (last update 21 September 2026): the visa is granted by Chilean consulates abroad and required, for reasons of national interest or international reciprocity, of nationals of certain countries entering Chile as holders of transitory stay; the application is entered all year on the Ministry's consular services platform; documents: the application form, a passport-type photograph with a white background, size 5 × 5 cm and full face, a copy of the personalisation sheet of the valid passport, proof of residence if living in a country other than that of the nationality, proof of own economic means (the last three payslips or bank statements), and no entry ban.
- ChileAtiende, notes: the prior authorisation or visa does not guarantee entry to Chile — the Chilean migration authority may prevent it if the conditions of the legislation in force are not met.
