Choosing a Scenario
First Determine the Document and Submission Channel
One size does not automatically suit all tasks. Choose a known scenario or check another format against the guidelines of the receiving organization.
Digital Channel
Prepare a Photo for a Foreign Passport for Gosuslugi
Choose a submission scenario and check the prompts of the current form; a digital file and a paper photo are different results.- Russian foreign passport
- Gosuslugi channel
- File for upload
Application Form or Pass

30×40 mm format for the specified purpose. Check the organization's guidelines if the requirements differ.- 3×4 photo

How to Prepare a Photo for a Document
The sequence helps avoid confusing the purpose, file format, and printed result.
- 01
Choose the Purpose
Specify the document or submission channel. If there are no requirements, first find the organization's guidelines.
- 02
Check the Source Image
You need a sharp portrait with a visible face, even lighting, and a suitable background. A profile view, blur, or obstructions are reasons to take a new shot.
- 03
Download the Result
Check the receipt: profile, dimensions, DPI, file size, and unverified conditions. For printing, use a separate 10×15 cm sheet.
What to Check in the Source Photo
- The face and eyes must be visible, and the source image must be sharp enough for the selected task.
- Lighting should preferably be even, without deep shadows, glare, or overexposure on the face.
- Check the head position and background against the requirements of the specific document or channel.
- Do not use processing that changes identity, age, facial features, or hairstyle.
- If the face is covered, the shot is blurry, or it is taken in profile, prepare a new source image.
Receipt and Verification Boundaries
Exact Size Is Not a Guarantee of Acceptance
After export, the selected preset, dimensions, DPI if available, file size, and check status should be clear. The currency of requirements and the acceptance decision must be confirmed via an official source or in the submission form.
- Selected document profile
- Pixels and size units
- Verified and unverified conditions
Common Mistakes When Preparing a Photo
Treating 35×45 mm as a universal format
Clarify the document and submission channel: the same size does not mean the same requirements.
Mixing up a digital file and a print sheet
Choose a separate result: a file for upload or a 10×15 cm sheet for printing.
Trying to fix a bad source image with retouching
If the face is in profile, blurred, or obstructed, take a new shot instead of editing.
Printing with auto-fit
Before printing, check the sheet size and 100% scale according to the organization's instructions.
About Photo Preparation
Online Photo Processing for Documents with Clear Limitations
The service helps you choose the purpose, neatly place the portrait in the frame, and get a technically described file. The preset defines the output format, but does not replace the current instructions of a department, consulate, or organization.
Why the Document Is Chosen First
Size, units, pixels, DPI, and submission method depend on the task. That is why a Russian passport, a foreign passport for Gosuslugi, and a 3×4 photo are placed in different scenarios.
What 300 or 600 DPI Means
These are metadata options for millimeter formats and printing. Choose the specific value based on the task and instructions, not as universal proof of compliance.
What Is Included in the Catalog
The source JSON contains 73 candidate presets for documents, visas, driver's licenses, and application forms. Separate URLs are created only for three confirmed TGA scenarios; the rest remain choices within the tool.
When a New Shot Is Needed
If the source image is blurry, taken in profile, or the face is covered, it is safer to reshoot. The tool must not change identity just to appear compliant.
Official requirements and acceptance decisions vary by document and channel. Before submission, check the current source; this landing is not a legal or departmental guarantee.
What Changes
The Frame and Export Change, Not the Person
Preparation should manage the frame, size, and file metadata. Identity, age, facial features, and hairstyle must not be substituted to achieve the result.
Choose a Separate Scenario
A narrow page helps you start with the right document; for another purpose, return to the general selection.

Questions About Processing Photos for Documents
Does the exact size guarantee that the photo will be accepted?
No. Size is only one parameter. Check the current requirements of the document and submission channel; the decision on acceptance is made by the relevant organization.
Why are there 73 profiles in the catalog?
These are candidate options from the RU source JSON: documents, visas, driver's licenses, and application forms. The name or size of a preset does not replace checking the specific procedure.
How is the digital file different from the 10×15 sheet?
The digital file is intended for the selected upload channel. The 100×150 mm sheet is a separate result for printing multiple copies with a 2 mm gap; print at 100% scale.
Can a profile view or blur be corrected?
No, such source images should not be edited to create a "suitable" photo. Take a new shot with the face visible, even lighting, and the required head position.
Does processing change the face or age?
No, the document scenario must not change identity, age, facial features, or hairstyle. Cosmetic retouching is disabled by default.
Where can I check the requirements of Gosuslugi or a department?
In the current submission form and on the official website of the relevant organization. Save the source and verification date next to the selected profile.
