What is a Saudi Arabia e-Visa photo?
A Saudi e-visa photo is a digital photograph of exactly 200×200 pixels, the smallest official spec of any country, as a JPEG between 5 and 100 KB, on a white background without patterns or shadows, with the face filling 70–80% of the frame.
Both file-size bounds are enforced by the visa.visitsaudi.com portal, and head-wear is not permitted except for religious reasons with the face fully visible. The challenge is purely mechanical: shrinking a modern phone photo to 200×200 px while keeping the face in band.
Getting a modern phone photo down to 200×200 px without wrecking the framing is the kind of mechanical task portals punish. This page measures your framing and outputs a file at 200×200 px inside the 5–100 KB window.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Saudi e-visa photo requirements?
Exactly 200×200 pixels, JPEG, between 5 and 100 KB, white background without patterns or shadows, face 70–80% of the frame, eyes open, head straight. Head-wear is not permitted except for religious reasons, with the face visible from chin to forehead.
Why is the file size so small?
The visa.visitsaudi.com portal was built around lightweight uploads. Both bounds are enforced: a file under 5 KB fails just like one over 100 KB. Our renderer's quality search lands inside the window automatically.
Does this work for other Saudi visas?
This spec is for the tourist e-visa portal. Work and residence permits run through different systems (Absher/Jawazat) with their own rules, and the Saudi passport itself reuses your national-ID photo on file.
Can I upload my passport photo?
Not directly. A standard passport photo file is hundreds of times larger than 100 KB and the wrong shape. The e-visa needs the exact square this page produces.
How we handle compliance
- We check your photo against the official rules. We never retouch your face, and we only normalize the background where the destination country permits it.
- Every requirement is cited from official government sources, with the verification date shown on the page.
- What you get is a report of measurements, not a guarantee. Final acceptance always rests with the issuing authority.
