If you're applying for a Paraguay visa, providing a correctly formatted photo is one of the key steps. The Paraguayan consulate typically requires a 5x5 cm photo (50x50 mm), which must meet biometric and visual standards for the application to be accepted. At PhotoGov.net, we simplify the process by turning a selfie or digital photo into a perfectly sized and compliant Paraguay visa photo — ready for print or digital upload. Whether you're applying for a tourist, student, or long-term visa, our tool ensures your photo won’t be the reason for delay.
Our online passport photo tool offers several features to help you create the perfect photo:
Instantly resizes your photo to the required 5x5 cm format
Removes distractions, replaces with clean white or light gray
Boosts image quality through smart lighting correction
