Background replacement only — facial features are never altered. Some authorities (US State Dept, UK HMPO, Canada IRCC) require unedited photos; check your destination's rules and prefer a real plain background when possible.
Align the top of the head between the guide lines (70–80% of the frame).

Argentina's official government portal (argentina.gob.ar) lists a 4 x 4 cm square
photograph with a white background among the required documents for tourist visa
applications - the classic Latin American square format. At 300 DPI the 4 x 4 cm
print is 472 x 472 pixels, the canvas this tool exports. The portal does not
publish a numeric head-height band, so the guide lines follow the 70-80 percent
ICAO convention used across Argentine consulates; keep the head centred with the
top of the shoulders visible. No file-size cap is published, so the preset leaves
the limit off and exports at full quality; the online application form (VAC) also
accepts a digital upload of the same photo. Shoot face-on in even daylight
against a white wall, both eyes open, neutral expression, no glasses glare, and
head coverings only for religious or medical reasons. Applications are lodged at
Argentine consulates or visa application centres, usually by appointment, and a
non-compliant photo is among the most common reasons the clerk asks you to retake
and re-queue - verifying the crop here before your appointment saves the second
round. Print this export at 300 DPI on photo paper and bring two copies where the
consulate requests them alongside the digital upload.
Frequently asked questions
What size is an Argentina visa photo?
4 x 4 cm square on white - 472 x 472 pixels at 300 DPI. Bring prints plus the digital upload for the VAC form.
Is this the same as the US 2 x 2 inch photo?
Close but not equal: 4 cm is slightly smaller than 5.1 cm. Re-crop from your original photo rather than trimming a US export.
Can I smile in the photo?
Keep a neutral expression with both eyes open - standard consular practice for Argentine visa photos.
