What photo size does the UAE visa require?

The ICP smart services portal requires a digital photo of 600x600 pixels with a white background for residence visas and Emirates ID - exactly what this tool outputs.

Does this work for Emirates ID renewal?

Yes - Emirates ID uses the same 600x600 white-background digital photo specification.

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.
