03What we fix

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 × 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.

04Good to know

North Macedonia-specific things to know

  • The Macedonian pages give the short-stay photograph as 3.5 × 4.5 cm in colour on a white background and the long-stay one as 35 × 45 mm — the same size in two spellings.
  • The white background is named only in the short-stay list, together with a clearly visible face.
