How to take the photo at home

  1. 1

    Stand in front of a plain white wall, facing a window or soft light, about 1.5 metres from the camera. Ask someone to take it at eye level.

  2. 2

    Wear dark clothes, take glasses off, keep your hair off your eyes, and look straight at the camera with your mouth closed.

  3. 3

    Choose the photo here, line up your hair and chin with the guides, and download the print sheet. Print it at a photo shop at 6 × 4 inch.

Our AI photo tools are not for passport photos: Passport Seva says the photo must not be changed by software.

Questions

What is the size of an Indian passport photo?
35 × 45 mm (4.5 × 3.5 cm), in colour, on a plain white background. Passport Seva's ICAO guideline gives 630 × 810 pixels for a digital photo, with the face filling 80–85% of it.
Do I need to take a photo to the Passport Seva Kendra?
No. At a Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) or Post Office PSK, the staff take your photo at the counter. A printed photo is needed for forms handed in at a District Passport Cell, Speed Post centre or Citizen Service Centre.
Can I print the sheet at home?
For a passport form, no: Passport Seva says photos in computer print are not accepted. Print the sheet at a photo shop on photo paper, at 6 × 4 inch (4R) size, then cut along the grey lines.
Can I change the background to white with AI?
Not for a passport. Passport Seva says photos must be unaltered by computer software. Stand in front of a plain white wall instead. This tool only crops and resizes your photo.
Is it free? Is my photo uploaded?
It's free and needs no account. Your photo is processed in your browser and never uploaded to us.
