Passport size photo maker

Indian passport-size photos are 3.5 × 4.5 cm with a plain white background. This page exports 413 × 531 px at 300 DPI, so it prints at exactly that size, and keeps the file 20–250 KB for portals that ask for an upload.

How to use the tool

  1. 1

    Stand against a white wall

    Face the camera straight, eyes open, with even light and no shadow behind you.

  2. 2

    Upload and crop

    Fit your head inside the outline: the face should fill most of the frame with a little space above the head.

  3. 3

    Keep White background on

    It turns a near-white wall pure white, which passport and visa photos need.

  4. 4

    Download or print

    Upload the JPG where required, or print it at 100% scale on photo paper.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to upload a photo for an Indian passport?

Usually not. At Passport Seva Kendras and post office centres your photo is taken at the counter. You need a passport-size photo for other forms, some embassy applications and annexures.

What size is a passport photo in India?

The common size is 3.5 cm wide by 4.5 cm tall, in colour, on a white background, with the face clearly visible and looking straight ahead.

How do I print passport photos at the right size?

The file carries 300 DPI, so printing it at 100% (not “fit to page”) gives 3.5 × 4.5 cm. Many photo shops can print several copies on one sheet.

Can I smile or wear glasses?

Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed. Avoid tinted glasses and glare; many authorities now prefer photos without spectacles.
