Passport Photo Maker — Passport Seva Compliant

Obtaining an approved passport-size photograph for Indian Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) submissions, OCI applications, and visa renewals requires strict adherence to Ministry of External Affairs biometric standards. Under official Passport Seva guidelines, printed physical photographs must measure exactly 3.5 cm in width by 4.5 cm in height (35 mm × 45 mm), with your face occupying between 70% and 80% of the vertical frame (head height between 31 mm and 36 mm). For online portal uploads, the image must be a color JPEG between 10 KB and 200 KB, with a recommended digital canvas of 630 × 810 pixels.

The photographic background must be plain white or off-white with uniform, shadowless lighting across the face and ears. Selfies, filtered social media portraits, and photographs older than three months are systematically rejected. The applicant’s face must be positioned directly facing the camera with a neutral facial expression (mouth closed, eyes open and looking into the lens). Spectacles with tinted lenses, reflections, or thick frames must be removed, and religious headwear must not obscure the chin, forehead, or cheek contours.

Pexlii’s Passport Photo Maker lets you upload any mobile camera portrait, align your eyes and chin with official biometric guidelines, enhance lighting with automatic background whitening, and export both single submission JPEGs and printable 4×6 inch multi-photo grids ready for local photo lab printing.
