What photo size does the UAE visa require?

UAE visa (GDRFA) photos are 43×55mm and Emirates ID (ICP) photos are 35×45mm — different sizes. This tool has a preset for each, with a plain white background. Note the Emirates ID upload has a strict 240KB limit.

Does this work for Emirates ID renewal?

Yes — choose the Emirates ID preset (35×45mm). Remember the ICP portal rejects files over 240KB, so compress if needed.

Why not just use a typing centre?

Typing centres charge AED 15-30 per photo. This tool is free, takes two minutes, and your photo never leaves your device.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The AI background removal and cropping run entirely in your browser - your biometric photo is never transmitted anywhere.
