Cambodia eVisa Photo Size and File Format for Australians (2026)
The exact technical specs the Cambodia eVisa portal expects from Aussie applicants: 35×45mm equivalent at 300dpi, JPEG only, 100KB to 2MB, no EXIF rotation. Here is how to check, how to convert from HEIC, how to resize, and how to dodge the iPhone Live Photo trap that catches Aussies every week.
What size and file format does the Cambodia eVisa photo need to be?
35mm by 45mm at 300 dots per inch — about 413 by 531 pixels at the minimum, 1200 by 1600 pixels at the upper end the validator will accept. JPEG only (.jpg or .jpeg, treated identically). HEIC and PNG are rejected on upload. File size must sit between 100KB and 2MB. The EXIF rotation flag must be off — meaning the photo is stored portrait the way it looks on screen, not rotated by the camera's metadata. On a Mac, check the pixel dimensions via Preview's Tools > Show Inspector panel. On Windows, right-click the file and open Properties > Details. The most common Aussie fail in 2026 is the iPhone HEIC format slipping through after a Live Photo AirDrop — convert to JPEG explicitly via the iOS Files app or macOS Preview before you click upload. Tourist eVisa is $80 USD (~$122 AUD) all-in, approved in 3 business days, delivered as a printable PDF by email, with free resubmission if Immigration flags a correction.
نکات کلیدی
- Cambodia's 2026 eVisa photo file rules: 35×45mm equivalent at 300dpi (around 413×531 pixels minimum, 1200×1600 pixels maximum), JPEG only, 100KB to 2MB file size, no EXIF rotation flag set.
- HEIC is the iPhone default since iOS 11 and Cambodia's validator rejects it on upload. Convert to JPEG before you click submit — iOS Files app, macOS Preview, or Windows Photos app all do this for free.
- PNG is also rejected by the validator. JPEG is the only accepted format. .jpg and .jpeg file extensions are treated identically.
- Aussies on Mac can check pixel dimensions via Preview's Tools > Show Inspector menu; Windows users right-click the file > Properties > Details tab.
- The iPhone Live Photo trap catches Aussies weekly — Live Photos sent via AirDrop sometimes arrive as HEIC even after you 'Save as JPEG'. Use the iPhone Share Sheet > 'Save to Files' as JPEG to break the link.
- Free resubmission if Immigration flags a correction is standard, but a format-related resubmission costs 1 to 2 business days off the 3 business days processing window.

The 80-percent quality sweet spot
If your JPEG is bigger than 2MB but the pixel dimensions are fine, save a copy at 80 percent quality. JPEGs at 80 percent typically halve the file size without visible quality loss on a passport-style photo. On Mac, use Preview's File > Export > Quality slider. On Windows, the Photos app's resize tool handles this too. The validator does not care about the compression percentage, only the resulting file size and format.
Converting HEIC and PNG to JPEG without losing quality
iPhone — convert HEIC to JPEG via the Files app
iPhone — alternative via Mail attachment
macOS — convert via Preview Export
Windows — convert via Photos app
Do not rename the file extension manually
سوالات متداول
What size and resolution does the Cambodia eVisa photo need to be?
35mm by 45mm portrait at 300dpi minimum. In pixels that means a floor of 413 by 531 and a ceiling of 1200 by 1600. JPEG only. File size between 100KB and 2MB. sRGB colour mode. EXIF rotation flag must be off. Most iPhone and modern Android photos sit well inside the upper end of these limits by default — the trickier checks are the JPEG-only requirement (not HEIC, not PNG) and the EXIF rotation flag.
Will Cambodia accept HEIC or PNG for the eVisa photo?
No to both. The eVisa portal scans the file header on upload and rejects anything that is not a true JPEG. HEIC is the iPhone default since iOS 11 and catches more Aussies than any other format issue. PNG is rejected because its lossless compression sits outside the file-size band the validator expects. Convert to JPEG via the iOS Files app, macOS Preview Export, or the Windows Photos app's Save As menu before uploading.
How do I check my photo's pixel dimensions on a Mac?
Open the photo in Preview, then choose Tools > Show Inspector from the menu bar (or press Command + I). The first tab shows the file format and overall file size. The second tab shows the pixel dimensions and the resolution in dots per inch. If the pixel dimensions sit between 413×531 and 1200×1600, and the resolution is 300dpi or higher, that check passes. Adjust via Tools > Adjust Size if either value is out of range.
How do I check my photo on Windows?
Right-click the file in File Explorer and choose Properties. The General tab shows the file size in KB or MB and the file format extension. Click across to the Details tab — pixel dimensions appear under 'Dimensions', the resolution appears as 'Horizontal resolution' and 'Vertical resolution' in dpi. To resize or convert, open the file in the Windows Photos app and use the menu's Resize or Save As options.
What is the iPhone Live Photo trap and how do I avoid it?
Live Photos are HEIC files with a 3-second video wrapper. When you AirDrop a Live Photo to a Mac, the file sometimes arrives as HEIC even though Preview shows it as a normal JPEG. The fix is to use the iPhone's Share > Save to Files action before AirDropping. Saving to Files forces a conversion to plain JPEG and strips the Live wrapper. AirDrop or email the resulting JPEG, not the original Photo. Alternatively, in Settings > Camera > Formats, switch from High Efficiency to Most Compatible — every future photo saves as JPEG natively.
