Malaysia eVISA Photo
Malaysia's eVISA photo measures 35mm wide by 50mm high on a plain white background, taken within the last six months, and the uploaded file must look studio-taken. Raw selfies and scanned prints get rejected, so let the studio produce the compliant file from your own photo.

One upload, two deliveries: the pixel-exact digital file and a 300 dpi print-ready sheet.
What each line means
Printed size — print at exactly 35 × 50 mm. A few millimetres off and most offices hand the form back before anything else is checked.
Digital size — the digital file must measure 413 × 591 px. Anything smaller gets refused by many online systems before a person sees it.
Background — a plain White background, with no shadows or gradients. A wall lit unevenly is the fastest route to a refusal.
Resolution — 300 dpi keeps a face sharp in print. Below that, features soften and agencies ask for a retake.
Recency — Within 6 months. Hair, glasses and weight change faster than people assume, and the officer compares the photo with you at the counter.
Digital format — some portals accept a single file type and quietly refuse everything else. Check what you are handing over before you upload.

How to take a Malaysia eVISA Photo with your phone
Malaysia visa photo size
The Malaysia online visa photo measures 35×50 mm. That is five millimetres taller than the 35×45 standard used in much of the region, and it matches the proportion used in the Malaysian passport. The digital file is 413×590 px, and the photo must be under six months old.
Studio-taken portrait requirement
The official wording asks for a studio-taken portrait. This means professional quality: even lighting, a proper background, and a correctly framed head. This page produces a file to that standard from your own camera.
Setup and lighting
Use a plain white wall, two light sources or one large window to keep both sides of the face evenly lit, and place the camera at eye level. The extra five millimetres of height go above the head. Frame with the crown visible, not cropped.
What this page outputs
The preset exports the 35×50 mm rectangle at 413×590 px on a white background. Head position, background and ratio are checked before export.
Why Malaysia eVISA Photo gets rejected
A 35×45 file from another application
A 35×45 file from another application does not fit. The form reads the difference, five millimetres of it, as the wrong size. Export for Malaysia specifically instead of reusing a regional standard.
Uneven light
One-sided light is the sign of a casual shot: one cheek is lit and the other is in shade. Studio quality requires flat, even light across the whole face.
Common faults
Over-six-month photos, shadows on the wall, and a head leaning toward the lens are everyday refusals. They are judged on the taller frame.
