Get your photo into the evisa.moip.gov.mm upload format — any image up to 2 MB, 3.8×4.6 portrait shape, HEIC converted — entirely in your browser. The photo never leaves your device.
Myanmar's official eVisa portal (evisa.moip.gov.mm, Ministry of Immigration and Population) publishes its rules on its own requirement sheet: a colour photo sized 3.8 × 4.6 cm (1.5 × 1.8 inches), taken within the last 3 months, on a plain white or off-white background, with eyeglasses taken off, a neutral expression or a natural smile with both eyes open, facing the camera directly with the full face in view, in clothing normally worn on a daily basis. The upload takes any common image file up to 2 MB. That is the whole published spec — there is no official pixel count and no minimum file size. This page presets the 2 MB cap: drop your photo and PixFit hands back a file the form accepts, without the photo ever leaving your device.
Most third-party guides sell the Myanmar photo as “4.8 × 3.8 cm”. The portal's own requirement sheet says 4.6 cm tall, and the application form's built-in crop window is locked to exactly the 3.8:4.6 shape — when you pick a file, a crop dialog opens, you frame your face inside it, and the portal re-encodes your crop itself before uploading. One resizer site sells both a 38×46 and a 38×48 page for the same document, and an agency site invents “minimum 600×400, maximum 1200×800 pixels” limits that appear nowhere in the portal. Practical upshot: don't chase anyone's pixel numbers. What matters is a sharp, well-composed source photo under 2 MB — the portal's own crop window does the final framing.
The form rejects a photo only when it is larger than 2,097,152 bytes (2 MB in the binary convention every file manager uses), so a file your computer reports as exactly “2.0 MB” passes. That makes this page's 2 MB preset exactly right for the photo. The documents step below is slightly stricter — it wants files strictly under the same line — so for passport scans and other attachments, aim a hair lower (1.9 MB territory). Modern phone photos routinely exceed 2 MB, which is the main reason uploads fail; the target box above fixes that at the best quality that fits.
Three real jobs. First, iPhone photos: the picker accepts “image files”, but on most computers the portal's crop window can't read an HEIC straight off an iPhone — if you pick a file and the crop dialog stays blank, that's why. PixFit decodes HEIC in your browser and hands back a JPEG. Second, oversized files: anything over the 2 MB line is refused with a file-size error; the preset target compresses to just under it. Third, framing control: if you'd rather not fight the crop dialog on a phone screen, type 760x920 (the official 3.8:4.6 shape) into Exact size and drag the crop preview here first — the portal's crop window will then match your framing almost exactly. There's no minimum, so nothing needs padding.
Worth reading twice, because two rules differ from what visa-photo habits expect. Recency is 3 months, not the 6 months most countries allow — an old passport-photo scan is likelier to fail here. And a natural smile is explicitly allowed (“neutral facial expression or a natural smile”), which most ICAO-style specs ban. The rest is strict in the usual direction: take off your eyeglasses (no exceptions stated), both eyes open, face the camera directly with the full face in view, plain white or off-white background, and everyday clothing. PixFit fixes bytes and shape; every rule in this paragraph is about the photograph itself.
After the photo, the application has a documents step whose own caption reads “Allowed file types: JPGE, PNG, PDF. Max file size: 2 MB.” (the “JPGE” typo is the portal's). Depending on visa type that means a passport bio-page copy and, for business visas, invitation and company-registration letters. Photograph or scan the whole passport page flat with the two machine-readable lines at the bottom fully visible and no glare. These slots enforce strictly under 2 MB — set a 1900 KB target here and you're comfortably inside, or wrap a scan into a one-page PDF at a guaranteed size, entirely in your browser.
Facts from the portal itself, worth checking before the payment step: the tourist eVisa is issued for a 28-day stay and the business eVisa for 70 days; the payment step makes you tick agreement with the refund policy before paying, so read it — eVisa fees are generally not refunded if you're rejected or don't travel; and eVisa holders can enter only through the designated ports of entry listed on the portal's own Port of Entry page — land borders and smaller airports may not be on it. The portal publishes its fee table on its own Visa Fees page; take the number from there, not from third-party sites (or this one).
Two cautions. First: searching “Myanmar eVisa” surfaces a crowd of agency and lookalike sites with official-sounding domains that file the same form at a markup — some of them are the same sites inventing the pixel rules above. The only official application site is evisa.moip.gov.mm — type the address rather than clicking an ad. Second: a visa photo travels with your passport scan, so it shouldn't detour through a resizer's server — PixFit re-encodes entirely in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and the re-encode strips EXIF metadata (including GPS) as a side effect. Applying elsewhere in the region? See the Thailand e-Visa, Laos eVisa and Vietnam e-Visa pages, or the full verified table.
Spec source: the portal's own photo-requirement sheet and the application form's own published limits at evisa.moip.gov.mm, as read July 2026. These numbers change — if your upload screen disagrees, believe the portal.
