Drop your photo, get a 413×531 JPG under 1 MB — the e-visa.gov.uz upload format (35×45 mm at 300 dpi). The crop and compression run in your browser; the photo never leaves your device.
Uzbekistan's official e-visa portal (e-visa.gov.uz, run by the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) states the photo requirement in its own upload instructions: 35×45 mm at 300 dpi, file size not exceeding 1 MB, meeting ICAO portrait standards, in JPG format. 35×45 mm at 300 dpi works out to 413×531 pixels — that's arithmetic on the official millimetre spec, not a number the portal publishes directly, and it's what this page presets. Drop your photo and PixFit center-crops it to the 35:45 shape, sizes it to 413×531, keeps it under 1 MB, and gives you a JPG the form accepts.
The portal's upload check is stricter than its own error messages admit. The error text says JPG or JPEG is fine — but the code that runs in your browser reads the piece of the filename after the first dot and requires it to be exactly jpg, lowercase. In practice that rejects photo.jpeg, PHOTO.JPG and any name with an extra dot in it (holiday.2026.jpg fails, because the check sees “2026”). If the portal keeps refusing a file that looks right, rename it to something like photo.jpg — one dot, lowercase extension — and try again. PixFit's download is already a lowercase .jpg; if your source filename contained extra dots they survive into the download's name, so give the file a plain name before uploading.
Passing the size and format gates isn't the end. The portal runs an automated face check and rejects with “Photo is not comply with ICAO standards” if it doesn't like the portrait — the ICAO basics are a plain light background, face square to the camera filling most of the height, eyes open and visible, no shadows, no heavy filters. That's a composition problem, not a file problem: if you hit it, retake the photo rather than re-encoding the same one. The passport bio page is the second upload (same rules: JPG, under 1 MB) and the system reads your details straight off the image — if it says it could not recognize the passport, the machine-readable zone probably has glare or blur. Photograph the full page flat in even light and check the auto-filled fields before paying.
Third-party guides widely describe the photo as “35×40 mm” — the portal's own instruction says 35×45. The same guides cap the passport scan at 500 KB; the portal's live upload code accepts up to 1 MB for both files. Possibly both numbers were once true — but the current official text and the code that actually enforces the rules agree on 35×45 and 1 MB, and this page follows them. (A compact passport scan under 500 KB still uploads faster and loses nothing.) There is no minimum file size, so nothing needs padding — any normal photo at 413×531 lands well under the cap at high quality.
The application runs country → dates → personal data → photo and passport → email → payment. A stay can't exceed 30 days, the $20 consular fee is charged for considering the application and is not refundable if the visa is refused, and payment goes through the portal's card gateway (you don't have to be the cardholder). The visa is tied to the exact passport you entered — if you hold two, apply with the one you'll travel on; a mismatch at the border invalidates the e-visa. The result arrives by email, and the visa is presented in printed or electronic form alongside that same passport.
The official application site is e-visa.gov.uz — agency and lookalike sites around it charge a markup for the same form, so type the address rather than clicking an ad. (The portal's own About text also refers to www.e-viza.gov.uz, with a z — an older address for the same official system, so the spelling variance in official materials isn't a scam signal.) And a visa photo travels with your passport number, 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. An iPhone HEIC can be dropped straight in — it comes out as the .jpg the portal wants. For other countries' formats, see the India e-Visa (square — a different shape), Vietnam e-Visa and Thailand e-Visa pages.
