For online UK visa applications, upload a color JPG between 50 KB and 10 MB, at minimum 600×750 px, with a plain light grey or cream background. The 35×45 mm physical spec applies only if you are submitting paper photos at a VFS appointment.
No glasses, no head coverings (except religious), neutral expression with mouth closed. Head should fill 70–80 % of the frame vertically.
The tool below produces both the digital JPG and the printed 35×45 mm version from a single source photo.
