Free Malaysia Visa Photo Online — Make a 35×50 mm Photo

Applying for a Malaysia eVisa through the VTR (Visa Without Reference, the online social-visit route)? Upload a recent photo and IDPhotoBy sizes and crops it to the Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia standard — a 35×50 mm photo of your head and shoulders on a plain white background — with the Malaysia Visa document already selected. It is free — no payment required.

Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia (the Immigration Department of Malaysia) sets the photo rules for the Malaysia eVisa through the MYVISA online portal, and IDPhotoBy prepares your photo to match them. According to the published requirements:

• Size 35 mm wide × 50 mm high (35×50 mm) for the VTR (Visa Without Reference, social-visit) eVisa.
• Plain white background, with no border or frame around the photo.
• Head height (chin to crown) 30–35 mm, with a top margin of about 5 mm and a chin margin of 5–10 mm.
• Full face, front view, eyes open, neutral expression.
• No head covering, except for religious reasons — your face must remain fully visible.
• A studio-taken image — not a scanned photo and not a selfie.
• Taken within the last six (6) months.

The Malaysia visa photo size is 35 mm wide × 50 mm high (35×50 mm) for the VTR eVisa, uploaded digitally through the MYVISA portal. Head height (chin to crown) should measure 30–35 mm, with about 5 mm of clear space above the head and a chin margin of 5–10 mm below.

IDPhotoBy outputs your photo at exactly 35×50 mm and high quality, so the file matches the published size whether you check it against the MYVISA photo checker or upload it directly.

Not every Malaysia visa channel uses the same background. This page is for the VTR (Visa Without Reference) eVisa — the online social-visit route — which requires a plain white background only, with no border or frame. The separate VDR (Visa With Reference) channel permits white or blue instead. Check your visa type before uploading — a blue-background photo won't match this white-background requirement.

Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia's own rules ask for a studio-taken photo — not a scanned photo and not a selfie. We say this plainly rather than suggesting a smartphone self-portrait will do: have someone else take your photo against a plain white background, or use an existing studio photo, then upload it here so IDPhotoBy can size and crop it to 35×50 mm.

The MYVISA portal also offers its own online photo checker, so you can confirm your uploaded photo meets the eVisa specification before you submit your application. IDPhotoBy prepares your photo to the published size and background for that online submission — the Immigration Department of Malaysia's checker, and ultimately its officers, decide whether an application is accepted.

Here's how it works:

• Upload a recent, well-lit photo with the tool on this page — the Malaysia Visa document is already selected.
• IDPhotoBy resizes and crops your photo to 35×50 mm and prepares it to the plain white background requirement.
• Preview the result — check the framing, head height and background.
• Download the finished photo free, then upload the digital file to the MYVISA eVisa application.

This free Malaysia visa photo maker also works as a size checker and resizer for a photo you already have — no app to download, it runs online in your browser.

IDPhotoBy resizes and crops the photo you upload to the 35×50 mm Malaysia visa standard and prepares it to the plain white background requirement. It does not retouch, beautify or otherwise edit your face — your face is left exactly as it is, only the framing, size and background are prepared.

We also don't promise acceptance — no online tool can. The Immigration Department of Malaysia makes the final decision on every eVisa application. Your file is prepared to the published MYVISA specification, and it stays free: no paid plan, no per-photo charge, and no country exceptions.

• A non-white or patterned background. The VTR eVisa requires a plain white background only, with no border or frame.
• A selfie or scanned photo. MYVISA asks for a studio-taken image, not a self-portrait or a copy of a printed photo.
• A photo more than six months old. Take a new one if it no longer looks like you.
• Head height outside 30–35 mm. Check the framing before you submit — IDPhotoBy crops to this exact range.
• Uploading a blue-background VDR photo for a VTR application. Confirm your visa type first.

Before you submit, you can also run your file through the MYVISA portal's own photo checker.

Requirements can change — check the official MYVISA application portal (malaysiavisa.imi.gov.my) before you submit; Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia is the final authority on whether a photo is accepted.
