About visa photos by country

Every country sets its own visa photo rules: size, background colour, head ratio and the file format for online submission all differ. A US visa photo is a 2x2 inch (51x51 mm) square, Korea and Schengen use 35x45 mm, and Canada is larger at 50x70 mm. Some countries require a white background while others (Schengen, Australia) prefer light grey.

Using the exact size and background for each country is the single biggest factor in not getting your application rejected for a photo error. Pick a country above for the detailed specs, application guidance, and to create a compliant photo right from your phone — free preview before you download.

Visa photo FAQs

Are visa photo sizes the same for every country?

No. Each country differs: US 2x2 inch (51x51 mm) square, Korea and Schengen 35x45 mm, Japan 45x45 mm, Canada 50x70 mm, China 33x48 mm. Pick the right country to use the correct size.

What background colour do visa photos need?

Most countries require a plain white background, but some — Schengen, Australia, New Zealand — prefer a light-grey or neutral background. Each country page states that country's exact background colour.

Can I take my visa photo at home?

Yes. Shoot with your phone's front camera in good light; the tool crops to the right frame and handles the background per each country's rules. A few countries (Australia, New Zealand) don't allow photo editing — their pages say so explicitly.

How much does an online visa photo cost?

Uploading and previewing is free. Downloading the compliant file costs from 50,000 VND. See /en/pricing for full pricing.
