Visa Photo Maker Online — Free, by Country
A visa photo is not always the same as a passport photo for the same country. The physical print size is often identical, but the DIGITAL upload rules — the exact pixel dimensions and, crucially, the maximum file size — are frequently stricter and more specific for a visa application portal than for a passport. Uploading a passport-sized file to a visa system is one of the most common reasons an application photo is rejected.
Each country in this hub has been individually verified against its own official visa requirement, not assumed to match its passport spec. We only publish a country here once its visa rules are confirmed to differ meaningfully (or to warrant a dedicated, exactly-tuned tool) — so you won't find placeholder or "coming soon" entries. Where a country's visa and passport photos are genuinely identical, we don't duplicate the tool.
Every tool here runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API: your photo is cropped, resized to the exact required pixel dimensions, and compressed to land under the country's file-size cap, all on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded. As always, a tool can hit the size and dimension spec but can't judge background, lighting, or expression rules — check the current official requirements for your specific application before submitting.
Common questions
The printed size is often the same, but visa application portals usually have stricter digital rules — an exact pixel size and a small maximum file size. The US DS-160, for example, requires exactly 600 x 600 pixels and a file under 240KB, tighter than the US passport digital spec.
Right now, the United States (DS-160), Canada (TRV / study / work permit), and the Schengen area (all 29 European countries). We add a spec once it's individually verified: sometimes the visa photo differs from that country's passport photo (the US visa needs an exact 600 x 600px file; Canada's 35 x 45mm visa is a different shape from its 50 x 70mm passport), and sometimes it's a shared regional standard worth its own tool (the Schengen 35 x 45mm size is harmonized across all 29 countries — and happens to match the passport-photo size in the UK and much of Europe, so those applicants can often reuse a recent passport photo). We never assume a spec from the passport.
No. Cropping, resizing, and compression all happen in your browser using the Canvas API, so your photo never leaves your device.
It reliably hits the required pixel size and file-size limit, but acceptance also depends on background color, lighting, expression, glasses, and headwear rules that a tool can't check. Review the official requirements for your specific visa before submitting.
