The core dimensions are stable, but the intake method is not. Your filing location decides whether to bring one print, use live biometric capture, or follow another country's rules under a representation agreement.
Requirements-only. The checker reads local dimensions and does not edit, upload, or store the image.

Denmark alteration note
A current authorised Denmark visa checklist for applicants in the Philippines says altered photos are not accepted. Other routes use live capture or publish different local instructions. PassPhoto keeps Denmark requirements-only: it does not upload, crop, resize, retouch, replace the background, store, submit, or prepare Denmark visa photos.
Official baseline
The requirements Denmark publishes centrally

Measure from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head.
Pose
Face the camera
Use a full frontal view with the forehead and hairline visible.

Mission checklist
Bring one 35 ร 45 mm print
Denmark's mission guidance for Israel asks for one new image, 35 ร 45 mm, with 30โ36 mm head height, current resemblance, and a direct camera-facing pose.
Official mission checklistBiometric appointment
A live image may satisfy the rule
The EU Visa Code Handbook says the photo requirement can be met with a live image when an applicant appears in person for fingerprint collection.

Local restrictions can be stricter
The Philippines checklist asks for one white-background image no older than six months and states that altered photos are not accepted. Egypt also asks for one 35 ร 45 mm light-background image within six months.
Authorised-centre checklistDenmark requirements-only route protection
Because an authorised Denmark route rejects altered photos and EU biometric guidance can require a live image or scan at submission, this page does not route Denmark applicants into background replacement, crop export, resizing, retouching, storage, or submission. Use an original photo and follow the office handling your application.

Denmark visa photo FAQ
What size is a Denmark visa photo?
The Danish Immigration Service publishes a 35 x 45 mm format with a 30 to 36 mm distance from the chin to the top of the head. The image should closely resemble your current appearance and show you facing the camera directly.
How much of the photo should the head fill?
The official 30 to 36 mm head-height range equals about 67 to 80 percent of a 45 mm image. Measure from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head, not to the top edge of the hair.
Do I need to bring a printed photo?
It depends on where and how you apply. Current Danish mission and authorised-centre checklists often request one 35 x 45 mm print. EU visa guidance also allows the photo requirement to be met by a live image when the applicant appears for fingerprint collection. Check the exact location before printing.
Can PassPhoto replace the background?
No for this reviewed route set. A current Denmark authorised-centre checklist for the Philippines says altered photos are not accepted, while EU biometric guidance allows a live image to be taken or scanned at submission. PassPhoto keeps Denmark requirements-only and does not upload, crop, resize, retouch, replace the background, or prepare an edited output.
What background colour is required?
Danish and authorised-centre sources reviewed here use bright, light, or white backgrounds depending on location. White is a common conservative print choice, but the checklist for the office receiving your application is authoritative.
What is the Denmark visa photo size in pixels?
The official sources reviewed here specify a 35 x 45 mm print rather than one national upload pixel limit. Use digital dimensions or a file-size limit only when the official filing route publishes them.
How recent must the image be?
The central Danish page requires a close resemblance to your current appearance. Current authorised-centre checklists in Egypt, Bangladesh, and the Philippines specify an image no older than six months. Follow the stricter local wording for your route.
Does PassPhoto print or submit Denmark visa photos?
No. PassPhoto provides requirements guidance and a local ratio check only. You arrange any required photo-quality printing, biometric capture, or submission through the diplomatic mission or authorised service provider handling your application.
Official sources
Verify again before your appointment
Denmark warns that a mission may request additional images, and representation agreements can make another country's intake rules relevant. Recheck your local checklist shortly before submission.

Why this page does not copy generic Denmark visa-photo makers
Current public results include one-click Denmark visa-photo tools advertising automatic crop, background replacement, white-background fixes, 413 x 531 pixel conversions, 600 DPI exports, biometric validation, and acceptance-style wording. The reviewed Denmark route sources instead support location-specific print or live-capture handling and do not establish safe permission for an edited online output.
Printing and submission are your responsibility
PassPhoto supplies requirements guidance and a local ratio check. It does not print, submit, edit, or guarantee acceptance. Use photo-quality printing if a physical copy is requested, and follow the Danish mission or authorised service provider handling your application.
