In India and most of the world, a passport size photo is 35 mm wide × 45 mm tall (3.5 × 4.5 cm). Printed at the standard 300 dpi, that’s 413 × 531 pixels. It’s used for passports, visas, Aadhaar and PAN updates, exam forms, school and college admissions, and office ID cards.
| Rule | Typical requirement |
|---|---|
| Size | 35 × 45 mm, 413 × 531 px at 300 dpi |
| Face | Takes up most of the photo, about 70–80% of the height |
| Background | Plain white or light, no shadows |
| Expression | Neutral, mouth closed, both eyes open |
| Glasses and caps | Usually not allowed; religious headwear allowed with face visible |
| Recency | Recent photo (often within 6 months) |
Requirements differ between documents and countries, so check the official page for yours. For an Indian passport, the Passport Seva site linked below has the current guidance.
If you took the photo against a wall at home, open White background, remove the background on your device, and tap 🛂 Make passport photo. The photo comes back here at 413 × 531 px and under 50 KB, ready for most forms.
Print shops usually print several passport photos on one 4 × 6 sheet. Download your 413 × 531 file and ask them to print it at 35 × 45 mm. At home, set your printer to “actual size” so it isn’t scaled. Cut along the edges carefully.
Many online forms ask for a “passport size photo” as a file with a KB limit, often 20–50 KB or up to 200 KB. After making your 413 × 531 photo here, switch to KB size, type your limit, and type 413 × 531 in the optional exact pixels boxes, or open the matching exam page, which does both at once.
