Your photo stays on your device. Face detection and background removal also run on your device.

The frame is the same everywhere, but the head size rule is not: the Netherlands asks for a face 26 to 30 mm from chin to crown, Austria up to 36 mm (about two thirds of the photo), and Italy and the Irish visa 70 to 80% of the photo. Backgrounds differ too, from white (Italy, Poland, UAE) to light grey (Austria). Check the page for your document before you print.

At 300 DPI, 35 x 45 mm is 413 x 531 pixels. Print at 100% without scaling, or use the 6 x 4 inch print sheet. The Netherlands is an exception: Dutch photos must be printed at 400 dpi or more, so use the Netherlands passport tool, which makes a 551 x 709 pixel file.
