What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white background.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 40 × 60 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- 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 472 × 709 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Saudi Arabia-specific things to know
- Saudi Arabia prints the size as «6 x 4» with no unit — and the photograph «not instant or reprinted», that is a proper print, not an instant-camera picture or a copy of another photo.
- The same wording — colour, white background, not instant or reprinted — is used on the form and on the procedure for a minor, where two photographs are named.
- The appointment is booked through the Absher platform and the fee is paid electronically before the visit.
