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.

Where these numbers come from
Source: European Commission / Italian consular authorities. Last checked against the official page on 21 Sep 2026.
What the source confirms
- European Commission, «Applying for a Schengen visa»: the application needs «a photo in compliance with ICAO standards», with a link to the Commission’s ICAO photograph guidelines leaflet — the page itself prints no numbers.
- The linked leaflet: photographs «no more than 6-months old», «35–40mm in width», a «close up of your head and top of your shoulders so that your face takes up 70–80% of the photograph», against a light-coloured background, in colour and sharp focus; it publishes no height.
- Italian consular practice fixes the frame: the Embassy of Italy in Nairobi 2026 checklist for a type C visa asks for «ONE BIOMETRIC COLOUR PASSPORT PHOTO (not older than 6 months) ICAO format (35 mm x 45 mm), on white background, full face and front view, in colour», and the MAECI «Linee guida foto ICAO» set 35 x 45 mm with the face covering 70-80 % of the photo, white background, colour, no older than 6 months.
- No source publishes pixel or file-size limits for a type C visa photo.
