How to make your India visa photo with PassPic
- Open the photo maker and choose India visa photo.
- Upload one or two photos of yourself (HEIC, JPG or PNG). If you upload two, PassPic picks the better one.
- PassPic finds your face, levels your eyes, replaces the background and sizes your head to the format.
- Check the measurements shown next to the result, then download the photo and the 4×6 print sheet.
Tips for a photo that gets accepted
- Face the camera straight on with your eyes open and level. Keep hair and glasses frames away from your eyes.
- Stand a few feet in front of a plain, evenly lit wall so there are no shadows behind you.
- Show your whole head, from the top of your hair to the bottom of your chin, with some space around it.
- Remove hats and head coverings unless you wear them for religious reasons, and keep your face fully visible.
- Do not use filters or beauty modes. Upload the photo as it is and let PassPic crop and size it.
Frequently asked questions
What size is an India visa photo?
2 × 2 inches (about 50 × 50 mm) in color. The head, from the bottom of the chin to the top of the hair, must measure 1 to 1⅜ inches (25–35 mm). That is the same size as a US passport photo, so PassPic uses its 2×2 inch format.
What are the digital photo requirements?
VFS Global asks for a square photo (same height and width) between 10 KB and 300 KB. PassPic's photo is 600 × 600 pixels. Check the file size before you upload, and follow the portal's own instructions if they differ.
Is the India visa photo the same as an Indian passport photo?
No. Indian passport photos for Indian citizens use a different size (35 × 45 mm). This page is for foreigners applying for a visa to visit India.
Can I wear glasses?
Your eyes must be clearly visible and not covered by the frames. Taking glasses off is the simplest way to avoid problems.
How do I print it?
Download the 4×6 sheet and print it as a regular 4×6 photo at 100% or “fit”, not “fill”. Cut along the grey lines. VFS asks for the photo on thin photo paper.
Is my photo kept?
Photos you upload are used only to make your picture and are deleted automatically after 1 hour. See the privacy policy for details.
