Official sizes
From GOV.UK, how to take a photo for a visa application (Feb 2026). Pixel sizes are only listed where the notice sets one.
| Upload | Pixel size | File size |
|---|---|---|
| Photo | at least 600 × 750 px | 50 KB – 6 MB |
Rules from the notice
Besides the size, the notice asks for:
- At least 600 × 750 px, portrait
- JPG, 50 KB – 6 MB
- Head, shoulders and upper body; plain light background; not your passport photo
Not your passport photo
The ETA photo must be a new photo: not a scan, not a photo of a photo, and not the same photo as in your passport. Children under 6 do not need to look at the camera, and babies may have their eyes closed.
Limitations
- Follows the notice named on this page; a newer notification can change the rules – check yours before applying.
- Checks size, file size and format, not whether the photo itself (expression, lighting, how recent) meets the rules.
- Background whitening works best with a plain, light wall behind you.
