What matters
Schengen Visa Photo dimensions at a glance
Schengen visa photos at 35×45mm (413×531px) must meet ICAO biometric standards. The requirements are consistent across all Schengen member countries.

Rejected at the visa application center counter. You'll need to get new photos taken at the center (usually at a premium) or reschedule.
