What these millimetres work out to
- In a 35 × 50 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 35–40 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 50 mm of height that leaves 10–15 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 413–472 pixels tall — below 413 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
- Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.00 times as wide, 1.11 times as tall and 1.11 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.
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 × 50 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 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
- Malaysia's Manila embassy asks for the actual photographs to be scanned and sent — a print scanned in good quality — and names 3.5 × 5.0 cm, a taller format than the ICAO 35 × 45 mm.
- The online copy of the application comes first; the photographs and the physical submission follow after the Embassy has checked and approved it.
Printing on a single sheet
4 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 8 copies from a single print.
