The India 35 × 45 mm requirement
Indian passport photos are 35 × 45 mm (3.5 × 4.5 cm) with a plain white background and the face covering most of the frame, looking straight at the camera. At 300 DPI that is about 413 × 531 pixels — the precise size this tool renders.
Upload a front-facing photo against a light wall, fit your head inside the oval so it fills the frame the way Indian passport rules expect, and the white background is applied. Download the photo for the online Passport Seva application, or print a sheet for offline use.
How to make an India passport photo
- Upload your photo. A clear, front-facing photo with even lighting works best.
- India preset is ready. The size is set to 35 × 45 mm with a white background.
- Fit your head. Zoom and drag so your face nearly fills the frame, level and centred.
- Download or print a sheet. Save the photo, or print copies on a 4 × 6 inch sheet.
Fill the frame, stay level
Indian passport photos want the face large in the frame with both ears and shoulders roughly visible, looking straight ahead. Keep your head upright and centred between the guide lines for an even, compliant result.
