Saudi Arabia eVisa Photo Maker
Create a 200 × 200 px (digital) Saudi Arabia eVisa photo from your own picture. Face detection, cropping and export all run in your browser.
Background: the background must be white, no pattern, no shadows. 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.
This page covers the eVisa upload (200 × 200 px), so no print sheet is offered.
Guide lines are an aid, not a check by any authority. Always compare the result with the official requirements linked below.

Rules from the official source
- One photo, 200 × 200 pixels, image size 5 to 100 KB.
- Close-up of the face and top of the shoulders; the face takes up 70–80%, from the chin to the crown of the head.
- With voluminous hair, the whole head including the hairstyle must be shown, without reducing the size of the face if possible.
- Face centred; not older than six months.
- White background with no pattern, no other people or objects, no shadows.
- Head square to the camera, not at an angle or turned; both ears and cheeks clearly visible.
- No head wear, except for religious reasons; the face must then be visible from the tip of the chin to the forehead.
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 200 × 200 px (digital).
- 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. If the tool says the photo is too close, retake it with more space around your head.
Common mistakes that lead to rejection
- A file that is not exactly 200 × 200 pixels, or larger than 100 KB.
- Face too small: it should fill 70–80% of the photo.
- Off-white or patterned background, or a shadow behind the head.
- Head turned so that one ear or cheek is hidden.
- 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.
Editing and retouching
Not mentioned by the official source. Source. This tool only offers background replacement where an official source explicitly allows editing.
