How to make a Saudi Arabia visa photo in 3 steps

Upload any photo of yourself, and the tool handles the entire Saudi Arabia visa spec pipeline — background removal, colour swap, spec-exact crop, file-size compression — in one pass.

1

Upload any photo of yourself

Use your phone or webcam against any background — a plain wall, a cluttered room, an office. The tool segments you from whatever is behind you, so you don't need a plain white backdrop before shooting.

2

Background is removed and replaced

The AI detects your face and body, removes the original background, and composites you onto the plain white required for Saudi Arabia visa applications. Hair and clothing edges are preserved.

3

Auto-crop to 51×51mm and download

Your face is auto-positioned within the 51×51mm frame at 300 DPI, and the output JPEG stays under 240 KB. Drag the crop box to fine-tune the position if needed.

Understanding the Saudi Arabia visa spec

Saudi visa applications — whether through Enjaz for work and family visas or the online eVisa portal for tourism and Umrah — use a 2×2 inch (51×51mm) colour photograph on a plain white background, with both eyes open, a neutral expression and no glasses. The single rule applicants most need to check is face visibility: the full face must be visible from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead, with both sides of the face showing. A headscarf worn for religious reasons is accepted; anything that covers the face is not.

Where Saudi Arabia visa photos are actually used

The 2×2 inch spec is the American one, which is useful: a photo made for a US passport, Green Card renewal or DS-160 visa application also satisfies the Saudi requirement, and the reverse holds too. It is the same square format used by India and the Philippines. If you hold a passport from a 35×45mm country, though, do not reuse your passport photo — the square crop is a different shape, and trimming a 35×45mm print down to a square puts your head in the wrong place in the frame.

Applications that accept this photo spec

  • Saudi work visa and Iqama applications through Enjaz
  • Umrah and Hajj visa applications
  • Saudi tourist eVisa applications
  • Family visit and dependant visa applications
  • Business visit visa applications
  • Saudi residency document renewals

Saudi Arabia visa photo FAQ

Can women wear a hijab in a Saudi visa photo?
A headscarf worn for religious reasons is accepted. What is required is that the face itself is fully visible — from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead, with both sides of the face showing and nothing casting a shadow across it. A niqab or any covering over the face is not accepted, because the photograph has to be usable for identity verification at the border.

Is the Saudi visa photo the same size as a US passport photo?
Yes — both are 2×2 inches (51×51mm) on a plain white background. One compliant photo works for both, and for Indian and Philippine applications that use the same square format.

Can I wear glasses in a Saudi visa photo?
No. Glasses should be removed. This matches the US rule for the same 2×2 format, so a photo made correctly for one will not fall foul of the other.

What size is a Saudi Arabia visa photo?
51×51mm (2.0×2.0 inches) at 300 DPI, on a plain white background. The head must measure 25-35mm from chin to the top of the head.

What background color does Saudi Arabia require for visa photos?
Plain white. Photos on the wrong background — cream, beige, colored, or textured — are the most common reason for rejection. This tool automatically replaces your background with the correct one.

Can I take a Saudi Arabia visa photo with my phone?
Yes. Modern phone cameras produce more than enough resolution for the 51×51mm output. What matters is even lighting (no harsh shadows on your face), a straight-on angle, and a neutral expression. This tool handles the background and sizing.

What file size does this tool produce?
The output JPEG is kept under 240 KB while preserving the 300 DPI resolution the spec requires. Upload limits vary between government portals and consulates, so check the one you are filing through — if it caps lower, use our Image Compressor to reduce further.

Is my uploaded photo saved on your servers?
No. Your photo is processed in memory and never stored on disk. The AI background removal runs server-side (the model is too large for a browser), but the input image is discarded immediately after processing. Nothing is logged, saved, or shared.

Can I print the Saudi Arabia visa photo at home?
Yes. The output is a 300 DPI JPEG at exactly 51×51mm, so any inkjet or laser printer produces the correct physical size when you print at 100% scale (not "fit to page"). Use the 4×6 print sheet option to get multiple copies on one sheet of photo paper.

Do I need to sign up or pay?
No sign-up required for basic use. Guests get 2 photos per day; free accounts get 3 per day. For higher volume, Pro plans unlock unlimited photos.

What if the background removal is not perfect?
The AI handles hair, clothing edges, and skin tones well for the vast majority of photos. If you see an edge artifact, try re-uploading with better lighting — indirect natural light from a window works best. You can also skip the background swap and crop only.
