Comprobador de fotografías de visas de Zona Schengen

If you're applying for a Schengen Zone visa, check the photo requirements before submitting. Our Schengen Zone Visa Photo Checker compares your image with the listed dimensions and background guidance in your browser. Preview the result for free; the issuing authority makes the final decision.

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.

Photo checking happens locally in your browser. Sharing or saving a result is a separate action you choose.

Common Schengen Zone visa rejection reasons

Schengen Zone-specific: Assuming every Schengen country has the same background shade — check the destination consulate; the Belgium photo specification here uses white.
Schengen Zone-specific: Smiling or showing teeth — biometric matching requires neutral expression.
Schengen Zone-specific: Using a digital print on plain paper instead of glossy photographic paper.
Aspect ratio drifted from 35:45 after a careless crop
Enfoque suave o desenfoque de movimiento desde un teléfono portátil tomado con poca luz
Fondo que parecía blanco a los ojos pero que se lee como crema o gris en un escáner calibrado

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, compare it with the selected specification (light gray). The background remover can help prepare another preview; confirm that edited photos are accepted by the authority.

Verificar la cobertura de la cara con el corrector.
Re-upload the corrected photo and compare the framing with the selected application's guidance. Requirements for head position can vary by application.
