What these millimetres work out to

  • Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.46 times as wide, 1.13 times as tall and 1.65 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.

02Three steps

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, replaces the background and straightens the frame to the document’s rules

  3. 03

    Save the 51 × 51 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

03Same country

Do not confuse it with another Vietnam document

Vietnam does not use one frame for everything. This page is about passport — 51 × 51 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 without textures, shadows, or foreign objects.
  • Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
  • Frame. Exactly 51 × 51 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 602 × 602 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
  • Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.

  • It requires three standard passport photos sized 2 × 2 inches.
  • One photo is glued on the application.
  • Two photos are stapled with the application.
  • The source is document-specific, but it does not publish a full public biometric matrix for pose, head size and background.
