With the PhotoID Studio desktop app you can create a custom photo size for any document used in any country, save it as a preset, and reuse your saved preset with a single click.

Always verify the size before an official application

The information here reflects the sizes commonly accepted for visa applications. Authorities can change photo requirements without prior notice, and different documents in the same country (passport, ID card, driving licence, residence permit) may require different sizes. Check the current guidance of the authority you are applying to before preparing your photo.

How should a Guatemala visa photo look?

Guatemala asks for a 26×32 mm photo for the passport, the DPI identity card and visa files: plain white background, ICAO 9303 as the baseline. The frame sits well below the usual 35×45 mm, so the crop runs tight.

One measurement across every office

Identity and passport offices work from the same ICAO 9303 baseline; a single well framed photo serves every file.

How PhotoID Studio builds the file

PhotoID Studio recrops your picture to true 26×32 proportions: head close to 70% of the height, 3-5 mm above the hair, white background, 300 dpi. You save the file and submit it yourself.

Shooting the source picture

Stand before a plain wall in even light and leave room around your head; the tight crop needs it. Keep your gaze straight and your expression calm.

What gets a photo refused

• A shrunken 35×45 shot; the proportions do not match. • Head share drifting from the 70% target. • Grey or shadowed background instead of clean white. • Files under 300 dpi, soft in print.

Pricing

One PhotoID Studio annual plan covers Guatemala and over 100 countries, with no per-image fee.

Frequently asked questions

Can an existing 35×45 photo just be scaled down?

No. The proportions differ, so the head ratio lands wrong. The picture needs a fresh 26×32 crop.

Which documents use this size?

The passport, the DPI identity card and visa applications all take the same 26×32 mm photo on white.
