What this document is
A Schengen visa (type C) is a short-stay visa for trips within the Schengen area. Under the EU Visa Code, Regulation (EC) No 810/2009, it covers stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. A longer stay needs a national type D visa or a residence permit.

- 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: 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.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Luxembourg-specific things to know
- Luxembourg asks for two photographs and says only that they are «recent and identical» — no size, background or face rule is published on the portal.
- Where there is no Luxembourg mission, another Schengen country represents Luxembourg, and that mission takes the application and the photographs.
