Drop your photo, get one at exactly 200×200 pixels inside the 5–100 KB window the Saudi eVisa portal enforces. Everything runs in your browser — the photo never leaves your device.
The Saudi eVisa portal's own Photo Specifications page asks for one photograph at 200 × 200 in width and height with an image size from 5 to 100 KB — both ends of that window are stated, so a 300 KB phone crop is out on one side and a 3 KB thumbnail on the other. The face should take up 70–80% of the frame (the page also gives it as 1.4″ × 1.6″ from the chin to the crown of the head), centred, taken within the last 6 months. This page is preset to exactly that: 200×200 pixels, 5–100 KB.
This is the smallest official photo dimension of any portal on our requirements table. Nobody owns a camera that produces 200×200 files, so every applicant has to downscale, and that's exactly the step where portals reject files. PixFit centre-crops to a square, scales to exactly 200×200, and binary-searches JPEG quality so the result lands inside the 5–100 KB window — at this size almost any photo fits at the top quality setting. Start from a passport-style head-and-shoulders photo: PixFit crops the centre of the frame, it can't find your face in a half-body shot, and the 70–80% face rule is composition the portal's reviewers check. If your source is wider than it is tall you'll see an honest centre-crop warning with both aspect ratios.
The official specification page states dimensions and file size but no file format. JPEG is the format every visa portal accepts and what this page outputs — treat that as the safe choice, not an official rule. The 5 KB floor is real but rarely a problem: a real photo at 200×200 encodes above it naturally. If a very smooth or dark image dips under, PixFit pads the JPEG to the floor with a spec-valid comment segment and tells you it did.
Composition rules from the same official page: plain white background with no pattern and no shadows; only you in the frame — no group photos, no objects; head square to the camera, face and eyes straight ahead so both ears and cheeks are clearly visible; voluminous hair should still fit the frame without shrinking the face where possible. Head wear is generally not permitted, with religious exceptions — in that case the face must be visible from the lower tip of the chin to the forehead, with no shadows on the face. PixFit fixes pixels and bytes only; a photo with the wrong background or a tilted head will be rejected at review no matter how perfectly it hits 200×200.
This spec comes from visa.visitsaudi.com, the official tourist eVisa portal — the one-year, multiple-entry visa (up to 90 days per stay) for tourism, family visits and Umrah (excluding Hajj), open to eligible countries. Saudi Arabia runs other visa systems — work, family-visit and consular visas through separate platforms, whose photo rules this page has not verified, and the direct Hajj program through Nusuk Hajj, which has its own page here; if you're applying through one of those, follow that portal's own prompts. And as always, if the upload screen in front of you shows different numbers, the portal wins — check the current spec at visa.visitsaudi.com. Applying elsewhere?
