Just upload, preview, and download your Indian passport photo — fully compliant, fully free.

Tips to avoid rejection
- Take the photo against a plain white wall in soft daylight.
- Remove glasses if possible — reflections are the #1 rejection reason.
- Keep your shoulders straight and look directly at the camera.
- Don't smile widely; a neutral closed-mouth expression is required.
For other formats, see our general passport photo maker or the image resizer.

Frequently asked questions
What is the official Indian passport photo size?
The standard Indian passport photo is 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) for online applications on Passport Seva and 35x45 mm for some paper forms and embassies. Both must use a plain white background and a neutral facial expression.
Is this Indian passport photo maker free?
Yes, 100% free. There is no signup, no watermark, and no limit on how many photos you can create. Everything runs in your browser, so your image never leaves your device.
Can I use this photo for OCI cards and Indian visas?
Yes. The 2x2 inch (51x51 mm) format produced by this tool is accepted for OCI applications, Indian e-visas, tourist and student visas processed via VFS Global, and most Indian embassy services worldwide.
What is the head size requirement in an Indian passport photo?
Your face should occupy roughly 70–80% of the photo height, with about 25 mm from chin to crown in the 35x45 mm format. Our tool auto-crops to match this ratio so you don't have to measure anything manually.
Can I print the photo at home?
Yes. The output is exported at 300 DPI, so you can print four copies on a standard 4x6 inch photo paper. We also keep the file size small enough (under 200 KB) for direct upload to Passport Seva.
