Passport Size Photo Maker
Built for a fresh passport or passport renewal application. This tool crops your photo to 413×531px (35×45 mm), keeps the file between 10KB and 300KB, and can auto-set a plain white background — the exact combination Passport Seva / MEA looks for. Specifications like this change from year to year — confirm the current one against the official notification before you submit.
Indian passport photo specification
- Size: 413×531 px — 35×45 mm
- File size: 10KB – 300KB
- Background: white
- Format: JPEG
Common rejection reasons
- Background isn't plain — shadows, patterns or other people in frame.
- Photo older than the window the form allows (usually 3–6 months).
- File size outside the 10–300KB band — either too small (looks pixelated) or too large (upload rejected).
- Face not centred or too much/too little headroom above the head.
How to get it right the first time
Start from a recent, well-lit photo taken against a plain wall. Upload it here, let the tool crop to 413×531px and set the background, then download — the file will already sit inside the 10–300KB band, so there's nothing left to adjust manually.
How it works
Frequently asked questions
What exact size does Indian passport need?
413×531 pixels (35×45 mm), between 10KB and 300KB.
Can I use a photo I already have on my phone?
Yes, as long as it's recent, front-facing and reasonably well lit. Upload it and the tool handles the cropping, background and file size for you.
Is my photo uploaded to Toolzo's servers?
No. The crop, resize and compression all run inside your browser tab — the photo never leaves your device.
