Frequently asked questions

›What size is a Ethiopia e-Visa photo?

Print size 2×2 in (51×51 mm). There is no official head-size number; we frame the head at 50%–69% of the photo height so the head and shoulders are clearly visible. Digital file: JPEG, up to 2 MB. pixtidy exports 600×600 pixels, inside the official limits.

›What are the Ethiopia e-Visa photo requirements?

The Ethiopian e-Visa portal asks for a 2×2 inch colour photo taken in the last 6 months, on a white background that is not blurred or cluttered, as a JPEG or PNG under 2 MB. Filters and retouching are not allowed.

›Can I use a selfie for the Ethiopian e-Visa?

No — the portal says no selfies. Ask someone to take the photo from about 1–1.5 m away at eye level, then upload it here to crop and check it.

›Can I take a Ethiopia e-Visa photo at home with my phone?

Yes. Ask someone to take it from about 1–1.5 m away at eye level, in daylight, in front of a plain white or off-white wall. Face the camera with a neutral expression and no glasses. Upload it here and we crop, size and check it for you.

›Why do photos get rejected?

The most common reasons are: head too small or too large, shadows on the face or background, wrong background colour, glasses or glare, a tilted head, blur, and photos edited with filters or AI. Our checker tests each of these before you pay.

›Do you edit or retouch my face?

No. Officials reject photos altered with filters or AI, so we only crop, level and resize. We never change your face or replace the background.

›Is my photo uploaded to your servers?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device and we never store it.

›What if my photo is rejected?

If an official rejects a photo our checker marked as passing, email support@pixtidy.com and we refund you in full.
