The editor auto-crops to the Vietnam visa frame (35×45 mm is the closest widely-accepted alternative; the full-size 4×6 cm is also supported via the generic 40×60 preset), removes the background over white, and exports at 300 DPI — ready for the e-visa portal or any Vietnamese embassy.

What the Vietnam Immigration Department checks on every e-visa, visa-on-arrival and embassy application.
Plain white, strictly. Light blue used to be accepted historically but the current e-visa portal only accepts pure white. Use the background-removal tool to guarantee.
Neutral, mouth closed, straight at the camera. No smile. Vietnamese officers routinely reject smiling photos on visa applications.
Not allowed. Remove them for the photo.
