Most countries outside the US — the UK, the whole EU/Schengen area, and Australia — use a 35×45 mm photo for passports, ID cards and visas. Requirements are near-identical: light plain background, face taking up 70–80% of the height.

Is one 35×45 photo valid in every Schengen country?
The size is the same; background shade preferences differ slightly. The app offers white, off-white and light-grey options per document.
Can I use it for a UK online passport renewal?
Yes — export the digital version and upload; the app keeps the required proportions.
