03What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: strictly white background; one colour photo 35 × 45 mm, 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.

05Good to know

Poland-specific things to know

  • Five of the six pages read ask for one photograph; one tourism and family-visit checklist asks for two. The number is the mission's own: count it on the list that covers you.
  • The size is the usual Schengen 35 × 45 mm, but the 70–80 % face share is spelled out only by the India checklist and Poland in Lebanon; the other lists say «passport type» or «ICAO».
  • The photo is checked at the counter: Poland in Lebanon states that a missing or non-compliant photo means the application is not accepted.
