What these millimetres work out to
- In a 35 × 45 mm frame a head band of 56–78% is 25–35 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 45 mm of height that leaves 10–20 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 295–413 pixels tall — below 295 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
How to crop it, in three steps
- 01
Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light
- 02
The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 56–78%
- 03
Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: strictly white 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.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
South Korea-specific things to know
- The size is written in centimetres, 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm, the same as 35 × 45 mm. The pages give no head size and no file limit; a digital file is used only for the e-Form where the embassy asks for it, and its acceptance is at the embassy's discretion.
- Some posts add a condition of their own: Montreal wants a commercial photographer's date stamp on the back, Sweden a colour photograph of the face in front view.
- The background is plain white or off-white — an off-white background is explicitly accepted at the embassy in Finland.
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.
