Schengen Visa photo maker
Upload a photo — we size it to the official Schengen Visa photo specification and check it before you pay. We never retouch your face. Your photo stays on your device.
Use a recent photo: face the camera, even light, no glasses. Background: plain, light and even (neutral grey is ideal).
