Bangladeshi applicants should keep the photo, Form 14A and LOI/Form V39A story consistent before filing through the permitted route.

FAQ
Is this an official ICA photo checker?
No. It is a VisatoSingapore pre-check that helps catch common file, size and crop problems before Form 14A preparation. ICA makes the final assessment.
Does the checker upload my photo?
No. The check runs in your browser. To prepare and submit a case with VisatoSingapore, you can upload the photo later inside the application flow.
Can a passing result guarantee visa approval?
No. A clean photo helps the application package, but ICA decides visa approval and checkpoint entry on the whole case.
What Singapore visa photo size does this checker use?
This browser pre-check accepts JPG, PNG or WEBP source files under 8 MB. It checks readable dimensions and portrait shape; a passing input is not a submission-ready visa photo. For visa submission, prepare an exact 400x514 JPEG no larger than 60 KB and confirm the requirements of the ICA filing route you use.
What size should a Singapore visa photo be?
For visa submission, prepare an exact 400x514 JPEG no larger than 60 KB and confirm the requirements of the ICA filing route you use.
Can I take the photo with a phone or use a selfie?
A phone can be used, but ICA recommends asking someone else to take the photo and does not recommend selfies. Resize or crop without retouching, filters, facial changes or digital background replacement. Retake a photo with unsuitable lighting or background.
Is this photo maker free?
Yes. The browser pre-check, crop and 400x514 conversion are free, with no sign-up, watermark or paywall.
How many pixels is a 35x45 mm photo?
There is no single pixel value without choosing a print resolution. For ICA online photo submission, use the separately stated 400x514-pixel recommendation rather than converting 35x45 mm or assuming a 600 DPI rule.
Does the photo need a white background?
ICA's current visual guidance shows a plain white background and even lighting. Check the live requirements guide before final filing.
Does a person review my photo in this tool?
No. This is an automatic browser pre-check. A human may review the photo later as part of a supported application, and ICA makes the final assessment.
