How to crop it, in three steps

  1. 01

    Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light

  2. 02

  3. 03

    Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

03What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background, e.g. light blue or light grey.
  • 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.

04Rejections

Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one

ReasonFix
A photo that is not 35 × 45 mm, or older than 6 monthsTake a new 35 × 45 mm photograph within the last 6 months.
A background that is not solid and light-colouredUse a plain light-coloured background with even light.
A head outside 32–36 mm, or not facing the camera directlyKeep the head 32–36 mm from chin to top and face the camera.
Sunglasses, headgear, or an open mouthRemove them and keep the mouth closed.
05Good to know

Denmark-specific things to know

  • The head is written two ways — 30–36 mm (Pakistan) and 70–80 % of the height or 32–36 mm (VFS Canada). A head of 32–36 mm on a 35 × 45 mm photo satisfies both.
  • The background is «solid, light colour», not necessarily white, and the photo is the standard 35 × 45 mm; the six-month age limit counts back from the date of the application.
  • One photograph is asked on every page read; sunglasses and headgear are excluded and the mouth must be closed.
