Singapore Online Visa Photo Maker
Create a recent colour visa photo at Singapore ICA's recommended 400×514px e-service dimensions.
Open maker →Check size, background and file limits
A photo can look acceptable and still fail because of its dimensions, background, framing or file size. Review the current receiving authority's instructions before submission.
Use a compliant source photo
Start with a recent, front-facing portrait in even light. Avoid heavy filters, face reshaping and blocked facial features. The maker prepares the format; it does not replace the authority's acceptance decision.
Prepare the online upload
Export the requested image format, verify the pixel dimensions and file size, and keep the original portrait available in case the receiving portal requests another crop.
FAQ
What size is a Singapore passport photo for online upload?
The passport maker uses the ICA-recommended 400×514px online format. Always confirm the latest ICA instructions before submitting.
Can I use the same photo for a Singapore visa?
Not automatically. Select the visa-specific page and confirm the requirements of the visa channel receiving your application.
Can I make the photo from a phone portrait?
Yes, if the face is clear, front-facing and evenly lit. Avoid strong filters or edits that alter your appearance.
