Passport, visa and ID photos · Print a photo
Print a 35 x 45 mm visa or passport photo on a 10x15 cm print
A 35 x 45 mm photo, the size a Schengen visa and many European passports ask for, fits 8 times on one ordinary 10 x 15 cm photo print. WinPhoto ID checks your photo against the published rules and makes that print as a single image for a photo lab. Several countries only take a photo from a photographer or a photo booth: they are listed below, without a print sheet.
Your photo stays on your device: nothing is uploaded, and no face is recognised.
How it works
- Choose your document below and check your photo on its page. The check is free and runs in your browser: the photo is not uploaded.
- Save the print sheet from that page: one 10 x 15 cm image at 300 dpi with as many copies as fit, each with a thin grey line around it.
- Order one ordinary 10 x 15 cm print of the sheet at a photo counter, a kiosk or an online lab, with no border and no cropping or zoom to fill the paper.
- Measure one copy with a ruler before you cut. If the shop enlarged, shrank or cropped the print, the photo is the wrong size: ask for a reprint at actual size. Then cut along the grey lines.
Checking your photo is free. The print sheet comes with your document's photo: €6.99, paid once for that document, with the exact file and unlimited retakes for 30 days. No subscription.
Documents whose page saves a print sheet
Choose your document: its page checks your photo in your browser, free, then saves the sheet. The indented words are the issuing authority's own, from the official page linked beside them, read on the date given. WinPhoto is photo software, not an application service. WinPhoto is not affiliated with any government. Only the authority decides whether it accepts a photo.

Austrian passport (Reisepass) and identity card (Personalausweis), printed photo
35 mm wide x 45 mm high: 8 copies on the sheet. Print it at a photo lab on smooth, glossy photo paper: the Interior Ministry rejects textured (honeycomb) paper and pixelated, low-resolution prints. The head should take up about two thirds of the photo, about 30 mm, and never more than 36 mm; high hair may run off the top edge. The same photo works for the passport and the Personalausweis.

Italian electronic passport, printed photo (Questura, Commissariato or Italian consulate)
35 mm wide x 45 mm high: 8 copies on the sheet. Print the photo on high-quality photo paper at a lab, not on plain paper: the Polizia di Stato asks for a 35 x 45 mm colour print on a white background, and passport offices scan it and check it with software that rejects photos that don't meet the standard. Italian consulates abroad ask for the same photo; some take it for you.

Polish passport and ID card (dowód osobisty) photo: 35 x 45 mm print, or file for an online application
35 mm wide x 45 mm high: 8 copies on the sheet. At the office you hand in a 35 x 45 mm colour print; online (ID card on gov.pl or in mObywatel, passport for a child under 12) you upload the file, at most 2.5 MB. The official is the final judge of the photo. Dark glasses or a religious head covering are only accepted with a certificate attached.

Schengen short-stay visa (type C) application photo, ICAO format
35 mm x 45 mm (France-Visas: 35–40 mm wide): 8 copies on the sheet. No single EU page gives these numbers: each country's consulate applies them, and some differ slightly. Check the page of the consulate where you apply.
The picture must be recent and conform to reality. The photo should be between 35 and 40 mm wide. The size of the face should be 32 to 36 mm (70 to 80% of the picture) from chin to forehead (excluding hair) and comply with the ICAO standard.
Official page, read on 4 November 2026. - Spanish passport and DNI (national identity card), printed photo 32 x 26 mm 26 mm wide x 32 mm high (written '32 x 26 mm'): 12 copies on the sheet. Spain's passport and DNI rules ask for a recent colour photo 32 mm high by 26 mm wide on a plain white background, printed on good photo paper. Some police DNI offices can take the photo themselves. Spanish consulates abroad may ask for a different size or two photos (consulates in Germany ask for 30 to 40 mm wide and no photo-booth prints), so check your consulate's page first.

No print sheet for these
The pages of these documents save no print sheet: the document takes a digital photo, the office or a professional takes the photo, or its rules leave no room for a print made this way. Don't order a print for them from this page.
- Belgian passport and electronic identity card (eID), printed photo Its page only checks your photo. Many Belgian communes, embassies and consulates now take the photo themselves at the counter, so ask yours first: you may not need one. If you bring a printed photo, the official photo matrix says it must not be retouched ('photo non retouchée') or be a copy, and it must be printed on smooth photo paper at 400 dpi or more. So this page checks your photo as it is and never changes it. Official page, read on 4 November 2026.
- French passport and carte nationale d'identité (CNI), identity photo Its page only checks your photo. In France the photo for a passport or identity card must be taken by an authorised professional photographer or in a photo booth using a system approved by the Ministry of the Interior. A photo made at home or edited here would not be accepted. So this page checks your photo as it is and never changes it: if it fails, have a new one taken at an authorised photographer or booth (white backgrounds are refused). Official page, read on 4 November 2026.
- German passport (Reisepass) and identity card photo, applied for at a German embassy or consulate abroad (printed 35x45 mm) Its page only checks your photo. German embassies and consulates abroad still take a printed biometric photo, 35 x 45 mm with the face 32 to 36 mm high. Missions ask that the photo not be edited or retouched and that you don't cut it out yourself (Paris, Amsterdam, Addis Ababa), and several have a photo booth in the waiting room. So this page checks your photo as it is and never changes it: have it taken and printed by a photographer or a booth, and follow your mission's page. Official page, read on 4 November 2026.
- Greek passport photo (digital via myPhoto in Greece; upload or print at consulates abroad) Its page only checks your photo. In Greece you can't hand in or upload a passport photo yourself: a professional photographer uploads it to myPhoto on gov.gr and sends you a code to link it. Abroad you upload it on the Foreign Ministry's e-proxeneio platform, bring a print on real photo paper, or the consulate takes it. The Hellenic Police's digital spec allows only cropping, never resizing, recompression or colour changes. So this page checks your photo as it is and never changes it. Official page, read on 4 November 2026.
- Dutch passport and identity card (ID-kaart), printed photo Its page only checks your photo. Dutch passport and ID card photos must not be edited: the official rules say 'niet bewerkt' (unaltered by computer software) and no copies, printed on smooth photo paper at 400 dpi or more. So this page checks your photo as it is and never changes it. Have it taken and printed by a photographer, and note the Dutch head size is smaller than most: 26 to 30 mm from chin to crown from age 11. Official page, read on 4 November 2026.
Where to order the print
The sheet is an ordinary 10 x 15 cm photo, so any shop, kiosk or online lab that prints photos of that size can print it. For example, from each shop's own page:
- dm Foto lists photo prints of about 10 x 15 cm on its prints page (in German) dm Foto's page, read on 11 November 2026.
WinPhoto has no link with these shops. They print photos; they don't check a photo against any document's rules. Sizes, services and prices change: check the shop.
Questions
- How many photos fit on one 10 x 15 cm print?
- For the documents on this page, it depends on the photo's size: 12 at 26 x 32 mm; 8 at 35 x 45 mm. The sheet leaves a 3 mm margin and a 2 mm gap between copies, so that a print trimmed slightly at the edges still holds whole photos.
- Does the print have to be at actual size?
- Yes. The sheet is made at 300 dpi for 10 x 15 cm paper, so each copy is the document's size only when the print is not enlarged, shrunk or cropped to fill the paper. Measure one copy before you cut.
- Will the shop check that the photo meets the rules?
- No. A photo counter prints the sheet as an ordinary photo and does not check it against any document's rules. WinPhoto ID's check compares your photo with the published rules as we read them on the date each page gives. Only the authority decides whether it accepts a photo.
- Is my photo uploaded?
- No. The check and the print sheet are made in your browser and the photo stays on your device. The one exception is the Detail check, which is opt-in and comes with a document's photo.
