Frequently Asked Questions

What size is a Polish passport photo?
Polish passport photos must be exactly 35mm wide × 45mm tall. The face from chin to top of forehead should measure 32mm. This is the standard EU biometric photo size.
Why is gray background required?
Poland specifically requires a light gray background (approximately 5-10% gray, not pure white) for passport and ID photos. This provides better contrast for biometric scanning systems. Our tool can create the correct gray shade automatically.
Can I take my own passport photo at home?
Yes! Use VisaPicPro to take and format your photo at home. Stand in front of a plain wall with good lighting, take a selfie or have someone photograph you, and our tool will adjust the background, size, and crop automatically.
Where can I print Polish passport photos?
After creating your photo with VisaPicPro, you can print at any photo lab, pharmacy (like Rossmann or Apteka), or office supply store. In Poland, many "Foto" shops offer instant printing. Abroad, use local pharmacies or online printing services.
