Prepare Your Biometric Visa Photo
Take a photo with your phone or upload one — AI cleans up the background and we crop it to the exact size your destination requires.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really free?
Yes — taking or uploading a photo, background cleanup, cropping to size, and downloading are all free. A separate, paid option exists if you'd like a printed copy shipped to your address.
Does my photo get uploaded anywhere?
Background removal and cropping happen entirely in your browser — your original photo never leaves your device unless you tap "Check with AI," which sends only the final cropped photo for a one-time review.
Why does the UK need a different background than Schengen?
The physical photo size (35x45mm) happens to be the same, but the UK's official rule is a light grey/cream background, not white — a photo made for a Schengen application may be rejected for a UK one for this reason alone.
Does the AI review guarantee my photo will be accepted?
No. It flags visible issues (framing, obvious background problems, expression) as a helpful second check, not an official approval. The consulate always makes the final call.
