⚠️ About the 43×55mm / 300×369px Figure
The 43×55mm (300×369px) spec quoted by many websites could not be confirmed on any official ICP or GDRFA page — it is a Dubai typing-centre / Amer / Emirates.com channel convention. Treat 35×45mm ICAO as the official federal baseline; if your specific Dubai application channel's checklist states 43×55mm, follow that channel's instruction.
Where Our Tool Fits In
ICP demands ICAO-compliant quality — no shadows, reflections or distortions — so for a visa application use Retouch.im for framing and cropping guidance and submit an unedited original. For uses that accept edited photos: preview free, HD download $1, 300-DPI print sheet $2.
Common Rejection Reasons
- Non-white background
- Face outside the 70–80% coverage range
- Shadows, reflections or visible distortions
- Photo more than 6 months old
- Black & white or low-quality images
- Assuming 43×55mm is a universal official spec (it is a Dubai-channel convention)
