35 × 45 mm crop

Check before submission. Photo rules vary by service and application route. Confirm the current official instructions.
Current Indian Passport Seva guidance describes a recent colour photograph measuring 4.5 cm × 3.5 cm with a plain white background for application routes that require a printed photo. Read the official instructions.

Practical guidance
Use the result with confidence
This tool helps with crop and print layout; it does not determine whether a photo meets a particular country’s biometric or passport rules. Use a recent, evenly lit portrait and compare the result with the issuing authority’s current instructions.
Before you finish
- The face is sharp and evenly lit.
- Background and expression follow current official rules.
- Printed scaling and digital dimensions are correct.
