FAQ
What size is the Schengen visa photo?
This preset starts at 413x531px, under 500KB, 300 DPI. Check your notification and edit the Requirements panel if your form says otherwise.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Cropping, resizing and compression run inside your browser on your own device. The file never leaves it.
How does it reach an exact KB range?
It searches JPEG quality to land just under the maximum. If the image is too small to reach the minimum, it adds harmless padding data without changing any pixel.
How is the DPI requirement met?
300 DPI is written into the JPEG header (JFIF density), which is what most upload portals read.
