Colombian visas — the digital nomad visa included — are applied for entirely online, and the photo spec is genuinely official, written into the visa regulation and the form itself: a recent colour photo, 3 cm wide by 4 cm tall, white background, JPG format, no larger than 300 KB, sharp and containing nothing but your own face — explicitly not a re-photograph of your passport picture. The first preset renders the 3:4 shape at 600 DPI (709×945), and the compress-image-to-100KB tool lands the file safely under the cap. No pixel or DPI figure exists officially — those numbers on photo sites are folklore.
The rest of Colombia's documents photograph you live: the passport office states "no need to bring photos" in so many words, and the Registraduría does the same for the cédula — with an official dress rule worth knowing before you go: white and light-coloured shirts are prohibited for the cédula photo; dark or strong colours are mandatory. For the visa upload: eyes open, ears visible, hair and accessories off the face, no glare or shadows. Officially the photo just has to be "recent" — no month-count exists. This tool resizes exactly and does nothing else — it warns rather than silently stretching a face, and runs entirely on your device.

Frequently asked questions
What photo does the Colombian online visa need?
By regulation and the form's own message: a recent colour photo, 3 cm wide by 4 cm tall, white background, JPG, maximum 300 KB, showing nothing but your face — sharp, eyes open, ears visible, no glare. The visa preset gives the shape; the compress tool guarantees the cap. Supporting documents upload separately as PDFs.
Do I need photos for a Colombian passport or cédula?
No — both are captured live. The passport office says "no es necesario llevar fotos" outright (come without accessories — earrings, necklaces, piercings — and with the neck visible), and the cédula photo comes with Colombia's most surprising official rule: white or light shirts are banned; wear dark, strong colours or the application can bounce.
Does this work for the digital nomad visa?
Yes — every Colombian visa category uses the same online form and the same 3×4 JPG under 300 KB, the nomad visa included. The only upload spec that differs is the libreta militar's blue-background photo, whose official dimensions conflict between government sources — follow that portal's own message.
Can this tool fix my photo's background?
No — it resizes exactly and does nothing else, and tells you so. Take the photo against a white wall in even light, then size it here. Nothing uploads anywhere: the resize happens entirely in your browser.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. ConvertUno runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your file never leaves your computer or phone — there is no upload at all.
Is it really free, with no watermark?
Yes. Processing happens on your device, so serving you costs us almost nothing — no watermark, no account, no file-size limit, no daily quota.
