Danish passport photos commonly use 35 × 45 mm on a light grey background — not a pure white studio wall. A white “Schengen” booth print can fail politi.dk-style photo checks even when the outer size is correct.
Head height is typically in the low-to-mid 30s mm (about 30–36 mm chin to crown). Neutral expression, even lighting, no heavy shadow. Use the Schengen framing preset for 35 × 45 mm, then set a light grey backdrop.
Confirm the current politi.dk photo rules before you upload or print. Tokitool sizes the crop in your browser; official biometric wording still comes from the Danish passport authorities.
