- • India moved from the 2×2-inch square to the ICAO 35×45 mm standard, mandatory from 1 September 2025 — this tool uses the new spec.
- • India’s separate e-Visa photo is still a square — do not use this passport preset for an e-Visa.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a india passport photo?
35×45 mm, which is 630×810 pixels at 457 DPI.
What background does a india passport photo need?
A plain white (#ffffff) — no off-white, evenly lit with no shadows or objects behind you. The built-in checker flags a non-uniform or wrong-coloured background.
What file format and size should it be?
JPEG, 0–250 KB. This tool exports exactly to spec and embeds 457 DPI so print size is correct.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Every step — cropping, the compliance check and the export — runs on your own device using your browser's canvas. Your photo is never sent anywhere, which matters for a document photo.
Does this guarantee my photo will be accepted?
No tool can guarantee acceptance — the issuing authority decides. This editor produces the correct dimensions and catches common, detectable mistakes (background, exposure, head position), but always confirm against the official Ministry of External Affairs / Passport Seva requirements linked on this page.
