About this tool
The size for an Indian passport is 35 x 45 mm, which is 1.38 x 1.77 inches - a portrait 7:9 crop. Drop a photo in and the frame is locked to it, so the output cannot come out the wrong size. Appointments run to a tight schedule, so arriving with a correctly sized print saves a second visit more often than it saves money. At print resolution that is 413 x 531 pixels for 300 DPI, or 827 x 1063 pixels where 600 is asked for. The 4x6 inch sheet download lays out 8 copies, which is what supermarket and pharmacy kiosks expect - one print instead of booth prices. No upload, no account. Your photo is processed locally, which for identity documents is the only sensible arrangement. Requirements beyond the size - head height, background, expression, glasses - are set by the Indian Passport Seva and do change. Check the current rules before you submit; this tool gets the dimensions exactly right, but it cannot know what was amended last month.
How to use this tool
- Upload a portraitAny phone photo works. A plain wall and even, front-on light gives the best result - nothing is uploaded anywhere.
- Position the headUse zoom and the position sliders until the head sits inside the guide. The crop is locked to 35 x 45 mm, so the wrong size cannot come out.
- DownloadTake the single photo at 413 x 531 pixels, or the 4x6 inch sheet with 8 copies ready to print.

Common uses
- Taking the photo at home when a studio visit is not practical.

- Printing a sheet at a supermarket kiosk instead of paying booth prices.

Tips for better results
- Keep a neutral expression with both eyes open and the mouth closed unless the authority says otherwise.
- Take several shots before cropping. Picking a good frame is far easier than rescuing a bad one.
- Print on photo paper, not plain paper. A 35 x 45 mm photo on copier stock is usually rejected on sight.
- Check what the Indian Passport Seva currently asks for before you go. Requirements are revised more often than people expect.
Mistakes to avoid
- Scaling a small photo up to reach the pixel count. Start from the highest-resolution original you have.
- Submitting an old photo. Most authorities require one taken within the last six months.
- Using a patterned or coloured background where a plain one is required.
- Reusing a crop made for a different country. 35 x 45 mm is specific to an Indian passport, and a near-miss is still a rejection.
