Visa photos for any country, done right the first time.

Every country, the size that actually passes.

A quick reference for the countries we are asked for most. We hold the full list, and we always confirm the live requirement for your exact application before we shoot.

United States visa and DV lottery

The US is one of the strictest, and it is square. We capture a 2 × 2 inch image, head between 25 and 35 mm, on a plain white or off-white background, and export a 600 × 600 pixel file under 240 KB for the DS-160 upload. The same image works for the Diversity Visa lottery. You leave with prints and the file by email.

Schengen visa, all member states

Every Schengen country shares the ICAO standard, so one photo covers France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the rest. It is 35 × 45 mm, the face filling 70 to 80% of the frame with the head between 32 and 36 mm, on a light neutral grey background, mouth closed. Most centres want two identical prints, and we provide a digital copy for the VFS upload.

United Kingdom visa and passport

The UK is 35 × 45 mm with the head between 29 and 34 mm, on a plain light grey or cream background. Glasses have not been allowed since 2018, even clear ones. For online applications we export from 600 × 750 pixels as a JPEG, sized to pass the automated checker on the first try.

Canada visa and study permit

Canada is unusual in two ways. The frame is at least 35 × 45 mm with the head between 31 and 36 mm, the background must be plain white, not off-white and not grey, and IRCC asks for the studio name and date on the back of the print. We handle all of it, so a common rejection reason never reaches you.

India visa, OCI and passport

India is square, 2 × 2 inches, with the face filling 70 to 80% of the frame. The catch is the background. A visa wants plain white, but the OCI card specifically wants a light coloured background that is not white, and the e-visa does not allow glasses. We shoot the right version for what you are actually applying for.

Australia visa and ImmiAccount

Australia is 35 × 45 mm with the head between 32 and 36 mm, on a plain white or very light grey background, with the head, neck and upper shoulders in frame. Glasses are not allowed. For ImmiAccount we give you a correctly sized JPEG alongside the prints.

Saudi Arabia and the Gulf

For Saudi visas and Hajj or Umrah, the photo is 2 × 2 inches on a plain white background, full frontal with the shoulders showing and a neutral expression. The Saudi e-visa accepts a digital image from 200 × 200 pixels. Dark plain clothing reads best, and head coverings are fine on religious grounds. We also hold the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman specs.

China visa

China is 33 × 48 mm with the head between 28 and 33 mm, on a plain white background, hair tucked behind both ears. The online system is strict on the digital file, which must be 354 × 472 pixels and between 40 and 120 KB. We export exactly to that so the COVA upload does not bounce.

Pakistan visa and passport

Pakistan is 35 × 45 mm with the face filling 70 to 80% of the frame, on a plain white background. The NADRA online visa system wants a clean digital image from 350 × 467 pixels, with no glare if glasses are worn. We capture both the print and the upload version in one sitting.

Philippines visa

The Philippines uses a 2 × 2 inch photo on a plain white background, a JPEG at 300 ppi or better, face centred and looking straight at the camera. The exact size can vary between consulate posts, so before we shoot we confirm what your specific embassy is asking for.
