How to make a Saudi Arabia visa photo
- Drop a photo of yourself against a plain, evenly lit wall.
- Move the box so your head and shoulder tops fill it.
- Press Make photo and download the 200 × 200 JPEG.
What happens to your file
The Saudi eVisa portal states the rules for a visa photograph, and these are its words: “it should be 200 x 200 in Width and Height” — the Saudi eVisa portal. “Image Size must be from 5 to 100 Kb” — the same page. “The background should be white. The background should not have any pattern.” — the same page. This page writes exactly 200 × 200 pixels, inside every bound the Saudi eVisa portal publishes.
Two hundred pixels square is small — much smaller than any other country on this list — and it is exact rather than a range. A standard 35 × 45 mm print crop cannot be dropped in unchanged, because the shape is wrong.
The portal names no file format at all. This page writes a JPEG, which every upload accepts, but the requirement itself is silent.
The ministry’s own visa platform publishes nothing about photographs, so there is no second official source to contradict this one.
The portal asks that the face fill 70% to 80% of the frame and that the photograph be no more than six months old.
The crop and the encode happen in your browser. A photograph of your face, attached to an application, is exactly the kind of file that should not travel to a stranger’s server, and here it does not.
What we cannot check for you: that the photograph is recent, in colour, evenly lit, and taken against a white background with no pattern and no shadows. Those are yours. Every figure on this page was read off the Saudi eVisa portal’s own page on 2026-09-10; if it has changed since, the authority is right and we are not.
Questions
What size photo does a Saudi Arabia visa need?
it should be 200 x 200 in Width and Height This page writes 200 × 200 pixels, inside those bounds.
What background does it need?
A white background with no pattern and no shadows. A plain wall in even daylight is the easiest way to get one — stand a good arm’s length in front of it so your own shadow falls away.
Is my photograph uploaded anywhere?
No. A JPG, PNG or WebP is cropped and encoded by your own browser; the page works with the network unplugged. Only a format the browser cannot decode, such as HEIC from an iPhone, takes the cloud path, and the page says so before it does.
Why does the file have to be at least 5 KB?
The Saudi eVisa portal sets a floor as well as a ceiling, to stop people uploading a thumbnail. This page reaches it by keeping quality high rather than padding the file, and tells you if a photograph is too plain to get there.
Do it once, not on every form
A form that wants a square JPEG under 240 KB says so on the page. The Fylane extension reads that, fits your photo to it, and puts it in the field — without you working out what 240 KB looks like.
And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.
Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.
