How to uAE Visa Photo Maker (43×55 mm)

  1. Stand against a plain white wall in even light. Face the camera with a neutral expression and your full face visible.
  2. Upload the photo — the UAE 43×55 mm preset is selected. Zoom and drag until your face fills the area between the guides.
  3. Download the single photo for online applications (ICP, GDRFA, Amer and typing centres) or a 4×6 sheet to print.

What does this tool do?

UAE visa and residence photos are commonly requested at 43 × 55 mm (4.3 × 5.5 cm) in colour with a plain white background, taken within the last 6 months. Your face should fill most of the frame — roughly 70–80% of the photo height — looking straight at the camera with eyes open. Head coverings are accepted for religious reasons as long as the face is fully visible.

Online systems (ICP smart services, GDRFA Dubai and airline visa portals) take a digital upload; requirements vary slightly between portals, so check the size and file limit shown on the form. Use Reduce Image Size if a portal sets a KB limit. Your photos are processed in your browser and never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

What is the photo size for a UAE visa?

43 × 55 mm with a white background is the most widely requested size for UAE visit and residence visas. Online portals then ask for a digital copy within their own file-size limit.

Is the Emirates ID photo the same?

Emirates ID photos follow the same white-background, front-facing rules. They're usually taken from your residence visa application, so one compliant photo covers both.

Can I use a selfie?

Selfies distort facial proportions and often have uneven light. Ask someone to take the photo from about 1.2 m away.
