How to crop it, in three steps
- 01
Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light
- 02
The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%
- 03
Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: even plain background without shadows.
- 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.
Italy-specific things to know
- Four photographs, not one — one of them goes onto the permit itself
- White background is named by the authority («fondo bianco»)
- Width 35 mm is fixed, height 45 mm is a minimum — the portal does not name a maximum
- Photographs are handed over in person at the Questura, at the fingerprinting convocation
- A renewal must be requested at least sixty days before the permit expires
Printing on a single sheet
4 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 8 copies from a single print.
Print at 100% scale, borderless, and turn off fit-to-page so each photo keeps its exact size.

Where these numbers come from

What the source confirms
- Ministry of the Interior immigration portal: «dovrai produrre 4 fotografie formato tessera con fondo bianco, una delle quali sarà apposta sul permesso di soggiorno».
- Same page: «Le fotografie devono avere le seguenti dimensioni: Altezza minima: 45 mm Larghezza: 35 mm» — the height is a minimum, the width is fixed.
- The photographs are handed over in person at the Questura immigration office, at the convocation for fingerprinting.
- Same page: a renewal must be requested at least sixty days before the expiry date printed on the permit.
- Head band 70-80% is a conservative default — the portal does not publish a head-height share.
