Background replacement only — facial features are never altered. Some authorities (US State Dept, UK HMPO, Canada IRCC) require unedited photos; check your destination's rules and prefer a real plain background when possible.
Align the top of the head between the guide lines (70–80% of the frame).

Thailand's official e-visa system (Thai Embassies and Consulates worldwide, using
the www.thaievisa.go.th platform) asks for a colour photograph in JPG or JPEG
format, at least 300 PPI, on a plain white background, no larger than 3 MB. The
print specification is the standard 3.5 x 4.5 cm portrait published on embassy
photo requirement pages, which at 300 DPI works out to 413 x 531 pixels - the
canvas this tool exports, derived from the official print size and marked as such
because the e-visa portal states resolution rather than pixels. The guide lines
follow the 70-80 percent ICAO convention used across Thai consular practice; keep
the full head and the top of your shoulders in frame. Shoot face-on in soft
daylight against a white wall, both eyes open, mouth closed, no glasses glare,
and no head coverings unless worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Because
the e-visa fee is paid online before the document review stage, a rejected photo
costs you a re-upload cycle and waiting time - compress and verify the JPEG here
first so it lands under the 3 MB cap on the first attempt. Photos with shadows,
scans of prints, or visible photo-corner marks are the usual reasons Thai
officers bounce applications back.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a Thailand e-visa photo?
The official guidance asks for a 3.5 x 4.5 cm print at 300 PPI or better - 413 x 531 pixels - as a JPG under 3 MB on a white background.
Why does the pixel size say derived?
The e-visa portal publishes resolution (300 PPI) and file cap rather than pixels; 413 x 531 is the official print size converted at 300 DPI.
What gets Thai visa photos rejected most often?
Files above 3 MB, scans with shadows or moire, non-white backgrounds, and heads that fill too little of the frame.
