FAQ
What size should a visa/ID photo be?
It varies by country and document type.
Quick tip: Use the official cm/inches requirement and convert to pixels.
Common mistake: Assuming passport size works for all IDs—often incorrect.
What DPI should I use for visa/ID photos?
300 DPI is standard for print-quality photos.
Quick tip: DPI only affects print size, not pixels.
Common mistake: Skipping DPI conversion—wrong physical size.
Can I resize visa/ID photos online?
Yes—convert to pixels and resize locally in your browser.
Quick tip: Use Pad if you need extra margin.
Common mistake: Cropping too tight—photo may be rejected.
Do you upload my images?
No. Processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded.
What size should I use?
Use the recommended size.
Which export format should I use?
JPG for photos, PNG for text/logos or transparency, WebP for smaller files (if supported).
Crop vs Pad — what is the difference?
Crop fills the target size (may cut edges). Pad fits the whole image and adds background/space.
How do I protect text and logos?
Keep important content centered and avoid placing critical text at the edges.
Can I batch resize?
Yes. Use the Batch Resizer to apply the same size to many images.
