What we check, and what we can’t
On your device, we measure the head size and where it sits, the eye line, the wall behind you, the light on your face, the pose and the sharpness against this rule, and we crop the photo to its size. We level, resize and crop it, and nothing else.
We can’t tell how recent the photo is, whether it still looks like you, or what the office’s own reviewer will see on the day. The office that takes your application decides whether to accept it.
Why a real photo matters
The Saudi eVisa rule on editing
Saudi Arabia’s eVisa photo specifications don’t mention editing.
Start with your original camera photo. Check the document’s rules, including whether your face fills 70–80% of the photo’s height.
We don’t generate your photo. We level, scale and crop your original pixels to 200 × 200 px, then show you the head height and the margins before you pay.
Our guides cover AI and passport photos and changing a photo’s background.
The files

Changes to this page’s rule
- Shortened the Korean and Chinese visa summaries and clarified the Saudi eVisa face measurement, keeping every document’s answer summary within 40–60 words.
- Document pages now show a short list of key facts, each naming its source authority and record date, before the complete rule table.
- Photo for USCIS forms: the page now says first that USCIS will not use or reuse self-submitted photographs (Policy Alert PA-2025-29, December 12, 2025), and the editing rule now uses the form instructions’ own words (unmounted and unretouched). Both come from the September 28 check; they were missing from the page.
- Added 6 documents (Saudi tourist eVisa, Egyptian passport, Jordanian passport renewal, Philippine dual citizenship, Lebanese passport extension, UAE passport), each checked against its government’s pages.

Questions
Can I use ChatGPT or an AI app for my Saudi eVisa photo?
Start with an original camera photo, rather than a generated or retouched portrait. Saudi Arabia’s eVisa photo specifications don’t mention editing. Confirm permitted edits with the issuing authority; a chatbot’s answer does not establish acceptance. We only level, scale and crop the photo you take.
Can I wear glasses in a Saudi eVisa photo?
Take them off. Saudi Arabia’s eVisa service doesn’t say whether glasses are allowed, and a photo without them can’t fail on glare.
What do I get for $9.95?
You get a digital file sized for the online form (200 × 200 px JPEG).
Where do I get my files?
On your order page after you pay, with no account to make.
