Saudi Visa Photo — the Tiny 200×200 e-Visa Format
200×200 px · 5KB–100KB · White
Saudi Arabia's e-visa portal asks for something almost no photo tool produces: a tiny 200×200 pixel square under 100KB. Exporting from a phone or a standard passport-photo app gives a file that's the wrong size in both dimensions and bytes.

Portal quirks
- The portal wants an unusually small 200×200 px square — most tools export far larger files that fail
- File size must be between 5KB and 100KB — a minimum as well as a maximum
- Face should fill 70–80% of the photo; white background, no shadows, taken within 6 months
- Umrah and tourist e-visas share the same photo requirement
