What else this rule says
- For the regular online visa application, the official upload manual gives a square JPEG of 350 to 1000 pixels on each side, between 10 and 300 KB. The file written here is 350 x 350 pixels. The e-Visa has a separate entry and different file-size limits; follow your application form if its instructions differ.
Where these figures come from
What the tool does with them
- Locks the crop to this document’s shape, and draws the head and eye bands inside it, so you can see the rule on your own photograph instead of reading about it.
- Finds the crown, the chin and both pupils by measuring the picture — no face model is downloaded — and says in millimetres whether the head is too large or too small for this rule.
- Reads the background colour and how evenly it is lit, and says which of the two is the problem when there is one.
- Writes the print at the exact millimetres with the resolution in the file, a sheet of them with cut marks, and the upload file at the pixel and file size this rule states.
