Jordan e-Visa photo requirements: upload spec explained
Jordan's official e-visa portal, eservices.moi.gov.jo, requires a recent passport-style photo against a white background, uploaded as JPG, PNG, or PDF, up to 2 MB. The ministry's own instructions don't publish a millimeter or pixel figure, but photo tools built for this portal commonly crop to 35 x 45 mm, with the head filling about 70 to 80 percent of the frame. Use a plain white background and a neutral expression, and keep the file comfortably under the 2 MB ceiling.

What the official portal actually states
Jordan's e-visa application, filed through eservices.moi.gov.jo, asks for a recent passport-style photo with a white background alongside your passport bio-data scan, both uploaded as JPG, PNG, or PDF up to 2 MB per file. That's the confirmed spec from the government portal itself.
The 35x45mm crop convention
The ministry's own pages don't publish a millimeter or pixel target, but third-party visa-photo tools built specifically for this application converge on 35 x 45 mm, roughly 33 mm chin to crown, head filling 70 to 80 percent of the frame. Following that convention is a safe way to match what the portal's review expects, even though it isn't stated as a hard rule on moi.gov.jo.
Avoid the fake portals
Several unofficial sites mimic the Jordan e-visa application and charge inflated service fees. Apply only through eservices.moi.gov.jo, and treat any third-party 'Jordan e-visa' site asking for a large service markup with suspicion.
