India Passport Photo Requirements
Last updated: July 21, 2026
India allows one of the widest head-size ranges of any country in our spec table (56–78%), giving more flexibility in framing than most other 35×45 mm formats.
Photo Size
| Requirement | |
|---|---|
| Physical (print) | 35 × 45 mm |
| Digital (upload) | 413 × 531 px |
The pixel size above is the exact size our tool outputs, sized to match the official physical spec at 300 DPI — it is not a minimum you need to exceed. We haven't independently verified whether this destination's own upload system also accepts a wider range of sizes, so treat the exact size above as the safe, always-accepted choice.
Head Size
Chin to crown must be 56–78% of the photo's height — about 25–35 mm on a 45 mm-tall print.
Background Color
India requires a white background.
