Make Your Indian Driving Licence Photo Online — RTO & Parihavan-Ready

The RTO and Parivahan require a 35 × 45 mm (3.5 × 4.5 cm) driving licence photo, which works out to 420 × 525 pixels at 300 DPI. PhotoGov outputs exactly this size, so you do not have to measure or crop anything yourself.

For the online application on the Sarathi portal, the photo must be a JPEG at 35 × 45 mm (420 × 525 px) and compressed to a small file — usually around 20 KB for the driving licence upload. PhotoGov resizes and compresses the file for you so it is ready to upload right away.

Open PhotoGov in any mobile browser, click a fresh selfie or pick one from your gallery, and choose the driving licence format. The online tool sets the 35 × 45 mm size, centres your head, applies a plain white background, and saves an RTO-ready JPEG — no app to install.

Upload your photo to the PhotoGov driving licence photo converter and select the Indian DL format. The tool rescales and crops it to 420 × 525 pixels (35 × 45 mm) and fixes the background, so the dimensions match the RTO requirement precisely.

The RTO requires a plain white background with no patterns, shadows, or coloured walls. PhotoGov removes your original background and replaces it with a clean white one automatically, so a selfie taken against any light surface still works.

PhotoGov compresses your final JPEG to the small file size the Sarathi portal expects — around 20 KB for the driving licence — without making the photo blurry. You download a file that uploads to Parivahan without a size error.

Yes. The file PhotoGov gives you is a JPEG at the correct 420 × 525-pixel format and within the Sarathi/Parivahan file-size limit, so you can upload it straight to your online driving licence application along with your signature.

It is better not to. A driving licence photo follows the RTO’s 35 × 45 mm and 420 × 525 px specification, while the Indian passport uses its own biometric format and file rules. Use the format that matches the document you are applying for to avoid a rejection.

Yes. PhotoGov automatically checks your driving licence photo for size, head position, background, and lighting against the RTO and Parivahan guidelines, and flags anything that needs a retake. Add Human Verification for a manual review by a senior compliance specialist.

Yes. We treat your personal data and images with great care. PhotoGov uses your information solely to generate your Indian driving licence photo and deletes it from our servers once the process is complete. We never share your data with third parties or external AI services. If you have any questions, you can always contact our Customer Support team or read more details in our Privacy Policy.

No. The Parivahan Sarathi portal lets you upload a photo but does not provide a maker that sizes or compresses it for you. PhotoGov is built around the official RTO specifications and adds a simpler interface plus options like Human Verification and a formal-attire change.
