How to use the Indian Visa Photo Maker

  3. Upload your photo — it should be a recent, full-face, front-view photo on a plain white background.
  4. The tool automatically crops, resizes, and compresses it under your size limit, then click Download.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Indian visa photo size in pixels?

This tool defaults to a 600×600 pixel square (2×2 inch at 300 DPI), which matches the commonly cited square-photo requirement for Indian visa applications. The e-Visa portal itself accepts a range roughly from 350×350 up to 1000×1000 pixels — 600×600 is used here as a safe middle value.

What's the maximum file size for an Indian visa photo?

This defaults to 300KB, matching the stricter limit commonly cited for BLS/VFS visa-application-centre uploads. The e-Visa portal itself is more lenient (up to about 1MB), but using the 300KB default means the same photo works for either upload path without needing to re-compress it.

Do I need to upload a signature for an Indian visa?

Not through the same kind of upload step exam application forms use — most Indian visa applications only ask for a photo upload, not a separate scanned signature. If your specific application does ask for one, use the PAN Card Photo & Signature Resizer's editable fields to match whatever size it specifies.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. All cropping, resizing, and compression happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API — your photo is never uploaded, transmitted, or stored anywhere.

Does this guarantee my visa application will be accepted?

No. This tool matches the technical spec — square dimensions and file size — as accurately as available guidance allows. It can't verify composition rules (a full face, front view, eyes open, no shadows, no borders) or guarantee these numbers match the current requirement for your destination country's visa type and application channel (e-Visa vs. BLS/VFS in person). Always check the current official instructions before submitting.
