Upload your photo
The photo is cropped in your browser. It is not uploaded to a server and we do not store it.
How to crop it, in three steps
- Upload the photo you want to resize.
- Pick the country and document — the exact size and head ratio come from that profile.
- Download the result — cropped, resized and face-aligned entirely in your browser.
Exact numbers for this document
| Parameter | What it must be |
|---|---|

| Aspect ratio | 1:1 |
| Head, share of height | 70–80% of photo height |
| Background | Plain white background. #ffffff |
| Glasses | Eyes must be fully visible; no tinted lenses or strong reflections. |
| Head covering | Religious reasons only; must not cover the facial oval. |
For upload the file must stay under 100 KB — after cropping, save as JPEG and check the size.
What cropping will not fix
- A wrong background — cropping does not repaint the wall behind you. This document needs: plain white
- A shadow on the face or on the wall. Step 1–2 m away from the wall and shoot facing a window.
- Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one

|---|---|
| Digital file outside 200×200 px / 5-100 KB band | Re-encode JPEG to exact 200×200 px under 100 KB |
| Face not 70-80% of image | Crop to chin-to-crown proportional range |
| Background not pure white | Off-white, grey, or any tint rejected — pure white only |
| Ears or cheeks not clearly visible | Centered face, ears uncovered |
| Photo older than 6 months | Re-shoot |
