Frequently Asked Questions
What size is an Italian Schengen visa photo?
Italian Schengen visa photos are 35×45mm with a plain light grey background. The same 35×45mm size is used for Italian passport (white background) and ID card (light grey).
I am applying for an Italian visa from India, Nigeria, or Indonesia — does this tool work?
Yes. The 35×45mm Schengen visa spec is identical regardless of where you apply from. Italian consulates worldwide accept the same format. Output is print-ready PDF for consulate submission or JPG sized for online portals.
What is the difference between Italian passport and Italian visa photo background?
Italian passport uses plain white; Italian Schengen visa, ID card (Carta d'Identità), and most other documents use plain light grey. Both formats are 35×45mm. Pick the background that matches your specific document type.
Can I wear glasses?
No. Italian biometric regulations do not accept glasses for any document type — passport, visa, or ID card.
Is my photo uploaded to your servers?
No. All processing happens in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device — this matters for biometric data like a visa or passport photo.
