What the official pages say about the Indonesia e-Visa photo
On Indonesia's e-Visa website you register an account, which the Directorate General of Immigration verifies. Registration needs the biography page of your passport and a recent colour photo facing forward, 4 × 6 cm with at least 400 × 600 pixels, as a JPEG, JPG or PNG. The photo terms allow up to 2 MB, but the FAQ on the single-entry Visitor Visa gives 200 KB as the limit for both images, so a file of 200 KB or less meets both.
For proper composition, the head, from the top of the hair to the chin, should fill 50 to 60% of the image height, with the eyes 50 to 60% of the way up from the bottom. Blurry pictures, shots taken too close or too far away, images other than a face, and facial expressions are not recommended. The passport image must be sharp, landscape and not cropped or folded. The FAQ adds that a child with their own passport needs a separate request. The pages do not cover glasses or head coverings.

What file size does the Indonesia e-Visa photo need to be?
Up to 200 KB. SafeResize checks the size before you download, and keeps it inside the limit whether the website counts 1 KB as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.
What background colour does the Indonesia e-Visa photo need?
Not stated (plain white or light is safest). Stand in front of a plain wall with no pattern, and face a window so there are no shadows behind you. If your wall is not plain enough, the photo maker on this page can make the background white with an AI that runs on your device. Check the edges around your hair afterwards.
How big should my head be in the Indonesia e-Visa photo?
From the chin to the top of the head, your head should fill 50% to 60% of the photo height. The face guide in the tool shows both lines.
Is the Indonesia e-Visa photo the same for Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani applicants?
Yes. The photo rules on evisa.imigrasi.go.id do not change with nationality, so Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani applicants follow the same ones. Which visa you can apply for does depend on your nationality, and a visa centre in your country may add its own checklist.
What else do the Indonesia e-Visa photo rules say?
Recent colour photo, facing forward, face only. Eyes at 50–60% of the photo height, measured from the bottom. Not too close or too far, no blur, no facial expression. Keep the file at or under 200 KB.
Which file format should I use?
JPG or PNG (colour). SafeResize saves a JPG (JPEG) file.
Can I take this photo at home?
Yes. A photo taken at home is fine if it follows the rules above. It is easier if someone else takes it for you.
Is my photo uploaded to SafeResize?
No. The photo is processed inside your browser and never leaves your phone or computer.
Please note: Official pages disagree on the file size limit (2 MB or 200 KB), so keep your photo at or under 200 KB to be safe.
