How to crop it, in three steps

  1. 01

    Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light

  2. 02

    The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%

  3. 03

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

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 light 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.

Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one

ReasonFix
A black-and-white photo, or a photo that is not a full faceA colour photo with the full face.
The wrong number of photos for the mission (one where two are asked, or two where one is asked), or a photo attached where the mission says not toBring the number of photos the mission names and attach one only if the mission asks.

05Good to know

Slovakia-specific things to know

  • Slovakia has no single photo rule: each embassy writes its own — two photos of 3.5 × 4.5 cm in Shanghai and Beijing, one photo of at least 3 × 3.5 cm in Ottawa, one photo not attached to the form in Pretoria.
  • Colour and a full face are common to every list read, and ICAO standards are named by the embassy in Vienna.
  • The number of photos is one or two, so the list of your mission or visa centre decides.
06Printing

Printing on a single sheet

4 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 8 copies from a single print.

Print at 100% scale, borderless, and turn off fit-to-page so each photo keeps its exact size.

Where these numbers come from

What the source confirms

  • Slovak Consulate General in Shanghai and Slovak Embassy in Beijing (Archive copies), Schengen visa: the visa application form, completed and signed; two colour photographs of 3.5 × 4.5 cm on a white background; a passport valid for at least three months after the return, with two empty pages and issued within the previous ten years; travel insurance of at least EUR 30,000; copies of the passport data page, the national identity card, the residence permit for China and the hukou; a return flight reservation.
  • Slovak Embassy in Ottawa (Archive copy): one recent colour passport-size photograph, minimal size 3 × 3.5 cm (1.2 × 1.4 inch); Slovak Embassy in Pretoria: one passport-size photo in colour, which must not be attached to the application form; Slovak Embassy in Vienna: a full-face colour photo conforming to ICAO standards, fingerprints where applicable (not for children under 12 and persons for whom fingerprinting is physically impossible); Slovak Embassy in The Hague: a recent full-face colour photo (passport size).
  • The Slovak visa-centre lists (VFS Global, for Turkey and the UAE) give their own figures again — a biometric photo of 35 × 45 mm on a white background in one, 3 × 3.5 cm or 4 × 6 cm in another — and the Embassy in Canberra gives 3.5 × 4.5 cm; the pages of those centres were not read here.
