Take a selfie at arm's length and the camera guides you on distance, tilt and light. Or upload a recent photo.
We make the right format
The AI crops it to the 630 x 810 passport format, sizes your face, sets the background and checks every requirement.

Three tips before you take the photo
Get these three right and the software handles the rest.
Take It As A Selfie
Hold your phone at arm's length, 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20 inches) from your face. The guide sets the distance.
Face The Camera
Hold the camera at face height. Keep your head straight and your expression neutral.
Ensure Even Lighting
Stand facing a light source, such as a window. Don't worry about the background.

Indian passport photo requirements, in plain words
Indian passport photos follow the international ICAO photo rules. The main ones are explained below.
Size And Shape
630 x 810 pixels, the 35 x 45 mm shape.
Background
Plain white, with no shadows behind you.
Face Size
Your face fills 80 to 85% of the photo, from the top of your hair to your chin.
Pose And Expression
Face the camera with your head straight, eyes open, mouth closed and a natural expression.
Glasses
Take them off. The passport photo guidelines ask for glasses to be removed to avoid reflections.
No Edits To Your Face
We crop, size and set the background. We never retouch or change your face.
Before you pay, the software checks size, background, pose, expression, glasses and lighting. It cannot tell how old a photo is, so take a new one for your application.
When you need this photo
The 630 x 810 passport format, delivered by email.
New Passport or Renewal Photo
The photo for a new Indian passport or a renewal applied for outside India, in the 630 x 810 format the Passport Seva website asks for.
Email Delivery Only
A digital file sent by email within minutes, plus a printable 4x6 sheet. Nothing is mailed and there is no store pickup.
Other Indian Documents
The OCI card and the e-Visa use different photos. See the OCI card photo and the India e-Visa photo.
Your 2 Printed Photos
Applying from abroad, you upload the photo online and also hand in 2 identical printed photos. Print the 4x6 sheet from your email at any photo shop.
Signature
The passport application also asks for your scanned signature. We make the photo only.
One Photo Per Document
Each Indian document has its own photo format. Make the one your application asks for.
Indian Passport Photo Near Me? Make It at Home, Abroad
Outside India, few photo shops know the Indian passport rules. Renewing abroad usually takes two things: a 630 x 810 pixel photo on white for the Passport Seva upload, and identical printed photos to hand in. One selfie at home covers both.
630 x 810 for Passport Seva
The file is 630 x 810 pixels on a white background, with your face filling 80 to 85% of it, and it is checked before you pay.
Identical Prints for the Center
Print the sheet at a photo shop near you and every print matches the photo you uploaded, which is what the application checklist asks for.
Glasses Off, Plain White
The Indian passport photo wants no glasses and a white background without shadows. The software checks both, so you are not explaining Indian rules at a local counter.

Why Indian Passport Photos Get Rejected, and How We Catch It
The most common reasons:
- a face too small for the 630 x 810 format
- glasses, or glare on them
- a background that is not white
- the wrong size or shape
- shadows across the face
The software builds the 630 x 810 format and checks for each of these before you pay.
What we do not do to your photo
We crop it, size it, place your head correctly and set the background your document asks for. We do not change your face, your features, your eyes or your expression. The photo has to look like you.
