Import a photo from your phone or computer — the browser analyses its dimensions, file size, background colour, presence of a face and its framing. In 2 seconds you get a PASS / FAIL status with the precise list of violated rules.
The tool then offers an automatic crop to the required dimensions (200×200 px) and re-encodes the image to fit the file-size band (5-100 KB). Download the fixed version, ready to upload on the visa.visitsaudi.com portal. No photo is sent to OmraDesk — processing is 100% in-browser.
Source: official portal visa.visitsaudi.com/Home/PhotoSpecifications.
Important: this checker targets ONLY the KSA tourist eVisa (visa.visitsaudi.com). For Umrah visas processed through Nusuk, the photo is auto-extracted from the passport scan inside the platform — no separate photo to validate.
Case 1 — Raw iPhone photo (4032×3024 px, 2 MB, desk background): rejected for dimensions AND size AND non-white background. Automatic cropping fixes all three in one click.
Case 2 — Selfie in front of a window (back-lit, dark face): rejected for lighting. Not auto-fixable — retake the photo facing a light source.
Case 3 — Scanned passport photo (300×400 px, blue background): rejected for ratio (portrait) and background. Cropping makes it 200×200 but the blue stays — retaking is simpler than manual compositing.
The check is indicative: it helps you send a clean photo the first time, but the final decision rests with the official portal. If you still have a doubt about the expression, the lighting or the veil, have the photo retaken by a photographer.
For a one-off photo, the tool is all you need. In OmraDesk, photo checking is unlimited and connected to your pilgrims' bookings, your departures and your team.
No. The photo is analysed in your browser; it is neither sent to nor kept by OmraDesk.
Recent iPhones produce HEIC by default at huge dimensions (4032×3024) and several MB. The visa portal rejects anything above 100 KB — automatic cropping fixes it.
Yes, as long as it doesn't cover facial features (forehead, cheeks, chin must remain visible). Other headwear (caps, hats) is not accepted.
Not needed: for Umrah visas processed through Nusuk, the photo is extracted directly from the passport scan. This checker targets only the Saudi tourist e-visa (visa.visitsaudi.com), used by pilgrims on the e-visa list (UK, EU…).
One face per photo, all ages. Each family member submits their own photo in their own eVisa file.
