Malaysia eVISA Photo Maker
Create a 35 × 50 mm Malaysia eVISA photo from your own picture. Face detection, cropping and export all run in your browser.
Background: the background must be plain white or blue. The tool does not change the background for this document (the official source does not explicitly allow edited photos), so take the photo against a suitable plain wall.
The photo is too close. Retake it with more space around your head (above the hair, at the sides and down to the shoulders) so it can be cropped to the required size.
Background replacement is off for this document: the official source does not explicitly allow edited photos. Take the photo against a suitable plain wall.
Optional. A one-time download of about 16 MB, then the background is replaced with the required colour on your device. Your photo is not uploaded.
Red line = top of the hair, blue = eyes, green = chin. Drag a line onto the right spot, or use its ▲ ▼ buttons; the crop refits. Drag anywhere else to move the photo. The green band shows where the chin must end, the blue band where the eyes must be.
The tool only checks the size and position of the head. It does not check glasses, expression, background or lighting.
Guide lines are an aid, not a check by any authority. Always compare the result with the official requirements linked below.

- Plain white or blue background.
- No border or frame.
- Head 30–35 mm high, about 5 mm from the top edge, chin 5–10 mm above the bottom edge.

How to use the tool
- Take a front-facing photo in even light against a plain wall, or pick an existing one.
- Upload it. The tool finds your face, eyes and chin, and crops the photo to 35 × 50 mm.
- Check the red line sits on the very top of your hair (not your forehead) and the green line on your chin. Drag a line to correct it; the crop refits automatically.
- When the head position is within range and you have ticked the confirmation box, download the digital photo and/or the 4×6 in print sheet. If the tool says the photo is too close, retake it with more space around your head.
Common mistakes that lead to rejection
- Using a 35 × 45 mm photo. The Malaysian eVISA uses 35 × 50 mm.
- Head too small, with too much space above it. The guide shows only about 5 mm above the head.
- A border or frame around the photo.
- A blurred or tilted image.
- Smiling, raised eyebrows or an open mouth.
- Shadows on the face or on the wall behind you.
- Head too small or too large in the frame. The head is measured from the top of the hair to the chin, not from the forehead.
- Photo taken too close, so the top of the head or the shoulders are cut off.
- Tilted head or looking away from the camera.
- Busy or coloured background instead of a plain wall.
