Passport Photo Size in India: mm, Inches and Pixels
Different forms ask for different photo sizes. Here are the common ones, and how to get an exact size for printing or online upload.
Common photo sizes
| Size | In pixels at 300 dpi | Often used for |
|---|---|---|
| 35 x 45 mm | about 413 x 531 | Indian passport-style photos and many ID forms |
| 2 x 2 inch (51 x 51 mm) | 600 x 600 | Some visa applications |
| Custom size in mm | mm / 25.4 x 300 | Exam forms and job applications |
These are common sizes, not rules for every form. Always check the exact size, background colour and file-size limit written on your form or the official website.
How to make a photo of the exact size
- Open the Passport Photo Maker.
- Choose your photo and pick the size, or enter a custom size in millimetres.
- Drag and zoom to centre your face.
- Download a single photo for online upload, or a print sheet (4 x 6 inch or A4) with many copies.
When a form asks for a size in KB
Reduce the photo with the Image Compressor, or set exact pixel dimensions with the Image Resizer.
Printing tips
- Print at 100% scale. Do not choose "fit to page".
- Use glossy or matte photo paper for a sharper result.
- Cut along the edges carefully so the size stays exact.
