India — Passport (online)
Indian passport photos should be 630×810 px with the face covering about 85% of the image, on a uniform white background.
| Photo size | 630 × 810 px |
|---|---|
| Head size | Crop so that approximately 85% of the image is covered by the applicant’s face. |
| Background | The background must be uniform; the official page says “preferably white background”. |
| Digital file | “The pixel size should be 630x810 for better quality” — stated as a quality recommendation rather than a hard minimum, so we do not reject smaller files. |
| How it is submitted | Uploaded with the online application. |
| Photo age | The page we verified does not state a recency window. |
Can the photo be edited?
The official page we verified does not address editing
“If the background is not uniform, the applicant needs to make it uniform, preferably white background.” / “The applicant should crop the photo to ensure that approximately 85% of the image is covered by the applicant’s face.”
No competitor publishes this, and it decides whether a tool like ours is usable at all for your application. The quote below is the official text.
Most common reasons for rejection
- •The face must fill about 85% of the frame — far tighter than the 70–80% most countries ask for.
- •The 630×810 pixel figure is worded as a quality recommendation, so a smaller file is not automatically wrong; the shape is what matters.
- •Our verified source does not address retouching — we say so rather than guess.
