What these millimetres work out to

  • In a 35 × 45 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 31.5–36 mm from the chin to the crown.
  • Of the 45 mm of height that leaves 9–13.5 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
  • At 300 dpi that is a head 372–425 pixels tall — below 372 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.

02Three steps

How to crop it, in three steps

  1. 01

  3. 03

    Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

Do not confuse it with another Romania document

Romania does not use one frame for everything. This page is about Schengen visa type C — 35 × 45 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

04What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background per Schengen standard.
  • 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.
