What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background; photo not older than 6 months.
- 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.
Poland-specific things to know
- One photograph, 35 × 45 mm, taken within the last 6 months
- Plain light background and even lighting of the face; no headwear and no dark-tinted glasses
- The procedure pages give no head height; the portal glossary describes the face as 70–80 % of the frame
- The Mazovian and the Opole pages use the same wording; neither gives file parameters for a digital photo

Where these numbers come from

What the source confirms
- Mazovian Voivodeship Office, page «Przyznanie lub przedłużenie Karty Polaka»: the application is filed with «aktualna fotografia, wyraźna o wymiarach 35 x 45 mm wykonana w ciągu ostatnich 6 miesięcy na jednolitym jasnym tle z zachowaniem równomiernego oświetlenia twarzy, bez nakrycia głowy i okularów z ciemnymi szkłami» — a current, sharp photograph of 35 × 45 mm taken within the last 6 months on a plain light background, with even lighting of the face, without headwear and without dark-tinted glasses.
- Opole Voivodeship Office, page «Przyznanie Karty Polaka» (dated 10-01-2025): the same sentence; its glossary entry «fotografia/Karta Polaka» repeats it as «wykonana nie wcześniej niż w ciągu 6 miesięcy przed dniem złożenia wniosku».
- Mazovian page, glossary entry «Fotografie/zdjęcie biometryczne»: «wymiary 35 mm x 45 mm … od wierzchołka głowy do górnej części barków, tak aby twarz zajmowała 70-80% fotografii» — used for the head band here, because the Karta Polaka wording itself gives none.
- Neither procedure page publishes a head height in millimetres, a margin above the crown, a pixel size or a file format.
