Comprobador de fotografías de pasaportes de Zona Schengen

If you're applying for a Schengen Zone passport, getting the photo right on the first try saves you days — sometimes weeks. The Each Schengen member's foreign ministry, following ICAO 9303 and EU Regulation (EC) No 1683/95 enforces strict biometric rules, and even photos that "look fine" to the human eye are routinely rejected by automated checkers. Our Schengen Zone Passport Photo Checker runs the same compliance tests right in your browser, in under 5 seconds, free to try.

The Schengen Zone comprises 27 European countries that have abolished border controls between members. A Schengen visa photo follows a unified standard: 35×45 mm, biometric-compliant, with a light gray or white background depending on the issuing country. The face must occupy 70–80% of the image height with a neutral expression and no glasses. Member states include Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. Whether you apply from within or outside the EU, the photo requirements are the same for all Schengen visa categories (tourist, business, transit, medical). That detail matters — most consumer photo apps still ship with generic templates that ignore these specifics. Upload your image above and we'll measure dimensions, sample the background, run face detection, and tell you exactly what to fix before you submit.

How to pass the checker

Crop precisely to 35×45 mm
Use our free image cropper to pull the exact 35:45 ratio. Position your eyes near the upper third of the frame and leave roughly 5 mm of headroom above the hair — the proportions Each Schengen member's foreign ministry, following ICAO 9303 and EU Regulation (EC) No 1683/95 expects.

Vuelva a disparar con una iluminación plana y uniforme
Stand 1.5 m from a plain wall matching the required light gray background. Use two soft light sources (or window light through a thin curtain) on either side of your face to eliminate the shadow that triggers most Schengen Zone rejections.

Reemplace el fondo si es del color incorrecto
If our checker flags the background as the wrong shade, run the image through our background remover and place it on the exact light gray Schengen Zone requires. This single fix resolves about 30% of all rejections we see.

Verificar la cobertura de la cara con el corrector.
Re-upload the corrected photo and confirm the face coverage score lands between 60–80%. If it's still low, crop in tighter; if too high, add headroom. Schengen Zone biometric matchers explicitly check this.

Sí. Los 27 estados Schengen comparten el mismo formato de fotografía de 35 × 45 mm según ICAO 9303 y el Reglamento de la UE 1683/95, aunque los consulados individuales pueden diferir ligeramente en el tono del fondo y el acabado del papel.

Our checker runs the same compliance tests automated systems at the Each Schengen member's foreign ministry, following ICAO 9303 and EU Regulation (EC) No 1683/95 use — dimensions, aspect ratio, background uniformity, sharpness, face detection (powered by Google's MediaPipe), face coverage and centering.
