Crop a photo to 51 × 51 mm — Egypt visa
Upload a photo — the frame is already set for a Egypt visa. Ready to print or upload.
Upload your photo
The document is already selected — the frame is locked to 51 × 51 mm. Drag the photo inside the frame; the shape cannot be broken.
The photo is cropped in your browser. It is not uploaded to a server and we do not store it.
How to crop it, in three steps
- Upload the photo you want to resize.
- Pick the country and document — the exact size and head ratio come from that profile.
- Download the result — cropped, resized and face-aligned entirely in your browser.

Do not confuse it with another Egypt document
Egypt does not use one frame for everything. This page is about visa — 51 × 51 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.
- national id card 40 × 60 mm
- residence permit 40 × 60 mm
- work permit 40 × 60 mm
What cropping will not fix
- A wrong background — cropping does not repaint the wall behind you. This document needs: plain white
- A shadow on the face or on the wall. Step 1–2 m away from the wall and shoot facing a window.
- Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 602 × 602 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
| Reason | Fix |
|---|---|
| Photo not 40×60mm (35×45 sometimes accepted but 40×60 preferred) | Use Egyptian-specific 40×60mm template |
| Head height outside 38-39.9mm precise range | Tighter than typical ICAO crop |
| Above-head space outside 2-6mm | Precise headroom — Egypt published to 1mm precision |
| Glasses, jewellery, or any accessory visible | Remove ALL accessories — Egypt strictest among major visa authorities |
| Background not pure white | Off-white rejected |
