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 without textures or noticeable gradients.
  • 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 background that is not white, or a black-and-white photographUse a colour photograph on a plain white background.
A photo older than 6 months, or one that is not sharp and contrastingTake a sharp, contrasting photo within the last 6 months.
A face smaller than 70 % of the photo, or the head croppedShow the whole head and the top of the shoulders with the face filling 70–80 %.
Tinted lenses, frames over the eyes, reflections, or hair covering the faceTake glasses off or use clear lenses with no reflection; keep hair off the face.
A stapled photograph, or the wrong number of copiesDo not staple; bring the number of photographs on the list of your mission.
05Good to know

Hungary-specific things to know

  • The face share of 70–80 % is spelled out at Pretoria and VFS China; the size is 35 × 45 mm (3.5 × 4.5 cm) everywhere except VFS India, which says «as for passports (35-40 mm wide)».
  • The number of photographs is the mission's own — one at Pretoria, Bishkek, VFS China and VFS India, two at Riyadh and for an airport-transit visa in India — and the photograph must not be stapled (Pretoria, Riyadh).
  • Glasses: VFS China asks for none; Pretoria and VFS India tolerate them when the lenses are clear, the frames clear of the eyes and there is no reflection.
