How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Use a clear, front-facing photo with neutral expression and both eyes open. Well-lit photos without strong shadows produce the best visa photo results.

Expect: Standard visa photo conversion: 30-40 seconds. Photos needing significant corrections: 45-60 seconds and may need one refinement.
Specify the visa photo requirements

Type your instruction: 'make this a US visa photo with plain white background, 2x2 inch format, head centered between 1 and 1.375 inches from chin to top of head' or 'create a Schengen visa photo with light background.' Be specific about the country and any requirements you know. No marking needed—the AI understands visa photo standards.

Tip: Include the destination country in your prompt. Different countries have different background colors, head sizes, and framing rules. The AI knows the common standards.

Copy one of these to get started:

US visa photo (B1/B2, F1, H1B) make this a US visa photo with plain white background, head centered, face occupying 50-70% of frame, even lighting, and neutral expression
Try This →

Schengen visa photo create a Schengen visa photo with light grey background, 35x45mm format, face clearly visible with both ears showing, even soft lighting
Try This →

UK visa photo make this a UK visa photo with plain light grey or cream background, 45x35mm, head centered, mouth closed, no smile, even lighting

Review for compliance

Verify the background is solid and uniform, head positioning meets the size requirements, lighting is even with no shadows, and the expression is neutral. Check that ears and full face are visible if required by the destination country.
Refine with markers if needed

If hair edges, background uniformity, or skin tone need adjustment, tap markers on those specific areas and regenerate. Most visa photo conversions produce clean, compliant results on the first try.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—you usually won't need them.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which part of the photo you meant from description alone. This happens when multiple corrections are needed simultaneously.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Background has slight color variations or isn't perfectly uniform

Why: Wispy hair, complex ear shapes, or transparent clothing edges make clean background extraction challenging.

Try:

Tap markers on the areas where background color is uneven and regenerate: make the background perfectly solid and uniform with clean hair edges

Try This →

Tip: Photos where hair is tied back or slicked down produce the cleanest visa photo backgrounds.

Head size or positioning doesn't meet specific country requirements

Why: Different visa types have different exact measurements for head-to-frame ratios, and the AI may use a generic standard.

Try:

adjust the visa photo so the head occupies exactly [percentage]% of the frame with [X]mm from chin to crown, centered horizontally

Try This →

Tip: Look up your destination country's exact specifications and include the measurements in your prompt.

Skin tone looks unnatural or overly smoothed

Why: The AI overcorrected skin to achieve even lighting, losing natural texture and color variation.

Try: make this a visa photo with even lighting but preserve natural skin tones, texture, and facial details without smoothing

Try This →

Tip: 'Without smoothing' tells the AI to keep skin looking real, which is important for biometric verification.

Shadows still visible on face or background after conversion

Why: Strong directional lighting in the original photo created deep shadows that the AI couldn't fully eliminate.

Try: remove all shadows from the face and background, create perfectly flat even lighting across the entire photo

Try This →

Tip: Take the source photo facing a large window for the most even natural lighting as a starting point.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the background before describing the visa photo format?

No! Just describe what you need: 'make this a US visa photo with white background' or 'create a Schengen visa photo.' The AI knows what these formats require. Only use markers if you need to clean up specific hair edges or background patches after the first attempt.

How do I create a visa photo from a selfie for free?

Upload your front-facing selfie to EditThisPic and type 'make this a [country] visa photo with [background color] background.' The AI handles background replacement, lighting correction, and proper framing automatically. Download and print at the required dimensions. Free to try, no account needed.

Yes, EditThisPic creates visa-compliant photos with no account or login required. Upload any clear front-facing photo, specify your destination country's requirements, and get a properly formatted visa photo in seconds. No watermarks on the output.

What's the best free AI tool for creating visa application photos?
