What these millimetres work out to

  • In a 51 × 51 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 35.7–40.8 mm from the chin to the crown.
  • Of the 51 mm of height that leaves 10.2–15.3 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
  • At 300 dpi that is a head 422–482 pixels tall — below 422 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
  • Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.46 times as wide, 1.13 times as tall and 1.65 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.

02The document

What this document is

The visa for Djibouti is an electronic one, applied for on evisa.gouv.dj, the e-visa site of the country’s immigration directorate. The online form is the application itself: the traveller fills it in and pays the fee by bank card in the same session. Once the Djiboutian e-visa is approved, it is downloaded from the site as a PDF document.

03Three steps

How to crop it, in three steps

  1. 01

    Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light

  2. 02

    The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%

  3. 03

    Save the 51 × 51 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

04What 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 without textures or noticeable gradients.
  • Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
  • Frame. Exactly 51 × 51 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 602 × 602 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
  • Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
