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).

Vietnam's official e-visa portal (evisa.gov.vn) asks every applicant to upload one
4 x 6 cm portrait photo together with the passport bio page. At 300 DPI that print
size works out to 472 x 709 pixels, a 2:3 ratio, and this is the exact canvas this
tool produces. The file must be a JPG under 2 MB, so the compressor here will
automatically step the quality down until your export fits. The portal publishes
the print dimensions and the size cap but not a numeric head-height band; we draw
guide lines at 70-80 percent following the ICAO convention used across Vietnamese
consular practice, and you should keep the full head plus a little shoulder inside
the frame. Shoot against a plain white wall or sheet in even daylight, face the
camera straight on, and remove glasses and head coverings unless worn daily for
medical or religious reasons. Because the e-visa form times out, prepare and
compress the photo here first, then open the application session and upload
immediately. After downloading, open the file once to confirm it is a valid JPEG
and shows only you - group photos and scans of printed pictures are routinely
rejected by the Vietnam Immigration Department review queue.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a Vietnam e-visa photo?
The official portal asks for a 4 x 6 cm portrait, which is 472 x 709 pixels at 300 DPI. Upload it as a JPG under 2 MB.
Why does my Vietnam e-visa photo keep getting rejected?
The most common causes are a file above 2 MB, a cropped scan of a printed photo, shadows on the background, or the head filling too little of the frame. Crop here against a white background and stay under the cap.
Do I need a professional studio photo?
No. A phone photo taken in daylight against a plain white wall meets the requirement once it is cropped to 4 x 6 cm and kept under 2 MB.
