Verified official information
UK visa or permission routes that request a digital facial photo use a vertical JPG or JPEG at least 600 × 750 px and between 50 KB and 6 MB. It must show the head, shoulders and upper body.
We correct the framing and prepare the light grey or cream background while preserving your natural appearance.
The file is provided through the route specified by UK Visas and Immigration. Depending on identity-verification method, some applicants instead have biometrics captured at a visa application centre.
Ask another person to take the photo in a well-lit room against a plain light background, facing forward with mouth closed. Do not mirror, scan or reuse an image from an identity document.
You don't need to memorize measurements or biometric rules. Imagokit applies this document's official setup and checks the result before delivery.

Position your face in front of the lens and keep a neutral expression. Hold the camera at face level.
