Free tool for this:Saudi visa photo maker
The Saudi tourist eVisa asks for a small digital photo with strict limits. If any of them is off, the upload is refused. Here's what is required.
The requirements
| Rule | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Size | 200 × 200 pixels, square |
| File size | 5 to 100 KB |
| Background | Plain white, no pattern, no shadows |
| Face | 70–80% of the frame, from chin to top of head, both ears visible |
| Age of photo | Taken in the last 6 months |
Why 200 × 200 is tricky
A phone photo is rectangular and thousands of pixels wide. To get 200 × 200 you need to crop it to a square around your face and then shrink it, without cutting off the chin or the top of the head. The Saudi visa photo maker does both: drag and zoom so your face fits the guide, and it saves an exact 200 × 200 JPG under 100 KB.
Tips for a photo that's accepted
- Face the camera squarely with a neutral expression.
- Keep only your face and the top of your shoulders in the frame. No other people or objects.
- Religious head coverings are allowed as long as the face is fully visible from chin to forehead, without shadows.
- Don't use beauty filters or edit the photo.
