What these millimetres work out to
- In a 40 × 40 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 28–32 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 40 mm of height that leaves 8–12 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 331–378 pixels tall — below 331 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
- Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.14 times as wide, 0.89 times as tall and 1.02 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 40 × 40 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 40 × 40 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 472 × 472 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
Niger-specific things to know
- Niger asks for the head to be bare («tête nue») and the photographs to be a «perfect likeness», and names the size only as «format 4x4», a square print rather than the ICAO 35 × 45 mm.
- The page gives no background colour, so the plain white used on this page is a generic setting.
Printing on a single sheet
3 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 6 copies from a single print.

Where these numbers come from
Source: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation, African Integration and Nigeriens Abroad of Niger. Last checked against the official page on 1 Oct 2026.
What the source confirms
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Niger, «Entrée au Niger — Les conditions d'entrée au Niger»: all foreigners going to Niger present at the border a passport and a travel document with a Nigerien visa, except where a bilateral or community agreement exempts them; foreigners in air transit are exempt from the visa as long as they do not leave the airport during the stopovers.
- Same page, the documents: the passport and a copy; a visa application form duly completed and signed in two copies; two bare-headed photographs, format 4x4, recent and a perfect likeness; the chancery fee set by the mission; the delay for the delivery of the visa is 15 days.
- Same page, the exceptional route: a visa can be granted at the point of entry on the authorisation of the Minister of the Interior when the applicant leaves a country where Niger has no diplomatic or consular mission — the request with copies of the passports is submitted by the applicant's correspondent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, examined by the external security services, and the applicant then goes to the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DST) for the formalities.
