Why Absher Rejects iPhone Photos
The Absher platform — like most government portals — only accepts legacy standard formats: JPG, PNG, and PDF. HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) used by iPhones is too modern and not yet supported by government systems.
🔐 Why Not Use Regular Conversion Websites?
Learn more about our Privacy Policy and how we keep your photos safe.
Most websites require you to upload your photos to their servers for conversion. This means:
- ❌ Your personal photos or ID images are sent to external companies
- ❌ You don't know who accesses these files or where they're stored
- ❌ Risk of leaking sensitive data (especially ID photos)
- ❌ Slow conversion due to internet speed

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will Absher support HEIC in the future?
Possibly, but no timeline. Government websites typically update their systems very slowly due to security and compatibility requirements. Converting to JPG is the fastest and most reliable solution right now.
2. Can I upload PDF instead of JPG to Absher?
It depends on the service type. For personal photos (ID, Iqama, passport), Absher only accepts JPEG or PNG. For documents and attachments via the Tawasul service, you can upload a single PDF file. For personal photos, always use JPG to ensure immediate acceptance.
3. What are the photo size and format requirements for Absher?
According to official Civil Affairs requirements: Format must be JPEG or PNG (HEIC not accepted), maximum file size 1MB, dimensions 4×6 cm (passport photo size), minimum resolution 600 DPI, completely white background, and photo must not be older than 6 months.
