Applying for Iran's e-Visa through evisatraveller.mfa.ir? Need an Iran visa picture that's the correct size — 400×600 px, not 600×400? Upload a recent photo of yourself and IDPhotoBy crops and resizes it to fit, with the Iran e-Visa document already selected. It is free — no payment required.
evisatraveller.mfa.ir (Iran's e-Visa portal, Ministry of Foreign Affairs) states the personal-photo requirements directly, and IDPhotoBy prepares your photo to match them:
| Requirement | Value |
|---|
| Size | 400 px wide × 600 px tall (400×600 px, portrait — not 600×400), minimum |
| Format | JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg) |
| File size | 10–500 KB |
| Background | Plain white or off-white |
| Face fill | About 70–80% of the photo |
| Taken | Within the last 6 months |
| Expression | Neutral, both eyes open |
| Glasses | Not allowed, except in rare, medically documented cases |
| Head covering | Only for daily religious reasons — must not obscure your hairline or cast a shadow on your face |
| Clothing | What you normally wear daily — no uniforms, except daily religious clothing |
evisatraveller.mfa.ir also doesn't accept a scanned ID photo, a snapshot, a low-quality vending-machine or mobile-phone photo, or a full-length shot — and it states plainly that your photo must not be digitally enhanced or altered to change your appearance.
Here's how it works:
- Upload a recent, clear photo of yourself — the Iran e-Visa document is already selected.
- IDPhotoBy resizes and crops it to 400×600 px, checks the background, and gives you a digital file plus a printable sheet, free.
You upload your Iran e-Visa photo as a digital file with the rest of your application — a scanned print works too, as long as the result matches the size and background above. This free Iran visa photo tool works online, no app and no professional photographer required.
Iran's own e-Visa portal is clear about the order: the personal photo must be sized in 400(minimum-width) × 600(minimum-height) pixels — width first, height second, portrait, not the reverse. Getting this backwards would give you a wide, landscape image instead of the tall, portrait one evisatraveller.mfa.ir actually asks for — worth double-checking before you submit. IDPhotoBy states it the same way, consistently, everywhere: 400×600 px, portrait.
This is also not the same as the separate Passport Copy field on the same e-Visa application, which asks for a different, landscape image (minimum 800×600 px, width greater than height). IDPhotoBy prepares your personal photo only — not the passport-copy scan.
IDPhotoBy formats your photo to the exact spec — size, crop and background — with no retouching and no AI edits. We also don't invent a resolution or DPI figure: evisatraveller.mfa.ir doesn't publish one for this photo. If a resolution or DPI number matters for your own printer or a later step, use whatever your printer recommends — it doesn't change the 400×600 px file IDPhotoBy gives you.
What evisatraveller.mfa.ir's own Photo Requirements page does say: your photo must be 400×600 px minimum, JPEG, 10–500 KB, plain white or off-white background, taken within the last 6 months, with a neutral expression — and it notes plainly that the final acceptance of your photo is always at the discretion of the I.R.Iran embassy or consulate where you apply. The portal recommends a professional visa photo service; it does not require one.
Requirements can change — check evisatraveller.mfa.ir, Iran's official e-Visa portal, for the current photo and application requirements before you submit; final acceptance is at the discretion of the I.R.Iran embassy or consulate where you apply.
