Converting a selfie into an Indian passport photo takes three simple steps:

Stand in front of a plain wall in even lighting, look straight into the camera with a neutral expression, and take a sharp photo.

Upload the image to our online passport photo maker — the tool crops it to 35 × 45 mm, replaces the background with plain white, and sizes your face to Passport Seva’s photo specifications.

Download your finished photo: you can use the final file for the online Passport Seva portal or print a PD

F (in a print shop) or a JPEG

sheet (

on a home printer)

for paper applications.

The exact size for an Indian passport photo is 35 × 45 mm for prints (or 3.5 x 4.5 cm). Your face must occupy 80–85% of the photo area, and the background must be plain white. For online uploads on the Passport Seva portal, the file must be a JPG/JPEG measuring 630 × 810 pixels and up to 250 KB. The photo must be in full color with a neutral expression, eyes open and clearly visible, and no glasses. PhotoGov automatically sizes and formats your file to these exact dimensions.

Yes. PhotoGov offers an Indian passport photo online service with instant digital download — once the 30-second processing is complete, you can save your file directly from the page without creating an account or subscription. You receive a 35 × 45 mm (630 × 810 pixels) JPEG that can be uploaded to the Passport Seva portal right away, or a formatted PDF or JPEG sheet for printing.

PhotoGov uses an automated background removal and replacement tool that detects your silhouette outline, removes the original backdrop — whether it is light gray, beige, or textured — and replaces it with a solid plain white background that meets Passport Seva requirements. You can also add Human Verification at checkout if you want a compliance specialist to confirm the result before you download.

PhotoGov is designed to align with the current Passport Seva photo specifications issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. The tool applies all key parameters — correct 35 × 45 mm size, face coverage of 80–85%, pure white background, and 630 × 810 pixel dimensions. The underlying Indian passport photo and ICAO Doc 9303 template are reviewed by our compliance team every eight weeks. PhotoGov is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Government of India — final acceptance always rests with the issuing authority.

With PhotoGov, you do not need to crop or edit your photo manually. After you upload it, our online Indian passport photo editor automatically detects your face and applies the correct crop and positioning so your face fills 80–85% of the 35 × 45 mm frame, designed to meet Passport Seva’s biometric requirements. The result is a properly formatted 35 × 45 mm passport photo, ready for download.

If your Indian passport photo is rejected due to a technical error on our side, we offer a free retake or a full refund. If the issue is in the original photo (such as harsh shadows, poor lighting, or a tilted head), simply take a new selfie and run it through the Indian passport photo maker again. To minimize the risk of rejection, add Human Verification at checkout so a specialist reviews your photo before you apply.
