Indian passport photo size in pixels and mm
The usual size is 35 × 45 mm (3.5 × 4.5 cm). At 300 DPI that is 413 × 531 pixels. Online forms often ask for a JPG within a size range in KB, so turn on Limit file size to set a minimum and maximum, and the tool searches for the best quality inside it.
Photo rules differ by country and change over time, so check your passport office's photo rules before you print or upload. The head ranges shown here are typical values, not an official approval.
How to take the photo at home
- Stand about an arm's length from a plain light wall, or hang a plain sheet, and face a window so light falls evenly on your face.
- Keep the camera at eye level, held level and straight on. Ask someone to take it, or prop the phone up and use the timer.
- Look straight at the lens with a neutral expression and your mouth closed. Keep your eyes open and visible.
- Avoid shadows on your face or behind you, glare on glasses, hats and heavy filters.
- Leave space around your head and shoulders so you can crop and zoom.
Printing copies
Most applications need several printed copies. Switch to Print sheet and a 4×6 in page fits 8 photos of 35 × 45 mm, edge to edge, with cut guides. Print the JPG or PDF at a kiosk on 4×6 photo paper at 100% size.
