Do not confuse it with another Czech Republic document
Czech Republic does not use one frame for everything. This page is about work permit — 35 × 45 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 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.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Czech Republic-specific things to know
- The Czech Ministry of the Interior measures the face from the eyes to the chin (at least 13 mm) and the gap above the head (at least 2 mm) rather than a head height, and it states the corner radius and thickness of the printed photograph.
- The background may be white, light blue or light grey — with smooth transitions — and black-and-white photographs are allowed.
- A photograph filed with an electronic application (data box or signed e-mail) still has to be handed in physically at the Ministry office or sent by post.
