What these millimetres work out to
- In a 35 × 45 mm frame a head band of 75–80% is 33.8–36 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 45 mm of height that leaves 9–11.3 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 399–425 pixels tall — below 399 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.

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 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.
