What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: strictly white background.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 35 × 50 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 × 591 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.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Malaysia-specific things to know
- The Malaysian size is 35 mm wide by 50 mm high — unlike the common 35 × 45 mm — so a photo cut for a European visa will not fit; the head of 30–35 mm sits in a higher frame, with about 5 mm above it.
- The photograph must have no border or frame, and a plain white background — blue is accepted only for the VDR route of the ESD system; the Ottawa High Commission names white only.
- The 25 KB upload limit belongs to the ESD Online system of the Immigration Department; the pages read for the mission do not state a file limit.
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.
