Official specifications — two scenarios
| Print size | 35 × 45 mm (some forms phrase it 4.5 × 3.5 cm), white background, matte finish |
| Digital upload (Passport Seva) | Exactly 630 × 810 px, JPEG, roughly 10–300 kB |
| Head | Face centred, occupying most of the frame, full face visible |
| Background | Plain white, no shadows or objects |
| Glasses | Preferably removed; no glare or tinted lenses |
| Expression | Neutral, both eyes open, looking straight at the camera |
Good to know
- Most applicants are photographed at the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) — if photos are taken on-site you don't need to bring prints. If you supply your own, they must meet exactly the specifications above.
- Print ≠ digital confusion: 4.5 × 3.5 cm and 630 × 810 px are the same format expressed two ways (paper vs the Seva upload form). Our tool exports 630 × 810 px, which prints true at 35 × 45 mm.
- Heavy beauty filters are a rejection reason — keep skin tone natural.
PSK in person, or Seva upload
Most Indian passport applicants are photographed at the Passport Seva Kendra itself, which means no print is needed — but if you supply your own, it has to match exactly. Online renewal and application forms take a 630 × 810 px JPEG, so our export slots straight into the Seva upload box, while matte 35 × 45 mm prints cover any counter that asks for paper.
Choices before you start
- Open the tool with the India passport 630 × 810 px preset selected.
- Shoot against a plain white wall, full face straight to camera, no heavy beauty filters (the home photo guide covers the setup).
- Face detection frames the crop, then download the JPEG for the Seva upload or print it true at 35 × 45 mm.
The crop and the export are done on your own device — nothing is uploaded to a server at any point.
