Choose the exact visa workflow
A destination can use different rules for an online form, a paper application, an embassy appointment or an external visa centre. Start with the destination, visa category, country of application and submission channel. Refiner keeps these scenarios separate so a familiar size such as 35 × 45 mm is not presented as a universal rule.
- Destination and visa category
- Country and centre where you apply
- Digital upload, paper photo or live capture
- Adult, child and documented exceptions
Check more than width and height
A correctly sized canvas can still fail because the head is too large, the face is tilted, the file is over the portal limit or the background is unsuitable. A useful check covers the file, composition and capture rules together.
- Pixels, aspect ratio, format and file size
- Head position, eye line and frontal pose
- Lighting, sharpness and background
- Glasses, head coverings and expression
Examples of materially different digital rules
The United States visa photo specification uses a square JPEG between 600 × 600 and 1200 × 1200 pixels and no more than 240 KB. Singapore passport eServices recommend 400 × 514 pixels and accept several file formats up to 8 MB. These examples show why a generic photo resizer is not a compliance checker.

Editing policy is part of the specification
Cropping, resizing and file conversion are not the same as changing a person or reconstructing a background. For strict identity documents, Refiner uses the original image and applies only deterministic crop and output steps. Background tools appear only for eligible formats; the issuing authority always makes the final decision.
