Ireland AVATS Visa Photo Size Limit

Ireland's online visa application system, AVATS, requires the uploaded photo to be a JPEG between 9 KB and 240 KB. AVATS runs an automated check and rejects any photo outside that range: too large is the far more common problem, so most applicants need to bring the file down to 240 KB or less. Official photo rules (Irish Immigration Service / AVATS): • Digital photo 715 × 951 px (35 × 45 mm), JPEG • File size between 9 KB and 240 KB • Plain, light-coloured background with no shadows • Face fills 70–80% of the photo, looking straight at the camera • Taken within the last 6 months, neutral expression • No head covering except for religious reasons, no glare on glasses This tool compresses your photo to 240 KB or less while keeping it sharp enough to clear the AVATS validation. It changes the file size only, so the 715 × 951 px dimensions stay the same. How to use this page: • Make sure your photo is 715 × 951 px first (use our Resize tool if needed) • Drop it here, and it's compressed to 240 KB or less and downloads automatically • Upload the result to your AVATS application

Frequently asked questions

What photo size does AVATS accept?
A JPEG between 9 KB and 240 KB, sized 715 × 951 px (35 × 45 mm). AVATS automatically rejects photos outside this range.
Why was my Ireland visa photo rejected?
The most common reason is file size. Anything over 240 KB is rejected. Compressing the photo to 240 KB or less usually fixes it without changing how the photo looks.
Does compressing change the 715 × 951 px dimensions?
No. Compression reduces only the file size; the pixel dimensions stay the same. If you still need to set the size, resize first. Resize an Ireland photo
Can I wear glasses in an Irish visa photo?
Glasses are allowed only if there's no glare and your eyes are clearly visible, but removing them is safest. Head coverings are not allowed except for religious reasons.
Is my photo private?
Yes. The photo is compressed in your browser and is never uploaded to any server.
