Tips for a good India Visa photo
- Face a window or soft light so both sides of your face are evenly lit, with no shadows.
- Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed and both eyes open, looking straight at the camera.
- Have someone else take the photo from about 1.5 m (5 ft) away at eye level. Selfies distort the face.
- Wear everyday clothes that contrast with the background; no hats, headphones or uniforms.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a India Visa photo?
A India Visa photo is 2 × 2 in. The head, measured from the chin to the top of the hair, must be 1–1.375 in. This tool sets the size and position for you automatically.
What background color does a India Visa photo need?
A plain white background without shadows or patterns. You can take the photo anywhere: the tool removes your background and replaces it with the right color.
Can I wear glasses in my India Visa photo?
No. Glasses are not allowed in India Visa photos unless you have a medical reason, which usually needs a signed note.
Can I take my India Visa photo with a phone?
Yes. Stand in front of a wall in good light, have someone take the photo at eye level from about 1.5 m away, then upload it here. The tool crops it to 2 × 2 in and replaces the background.
How do I print a India Visa photo?
Download the print sheet and print it at 100% scale on photo paper at home or at a photo kiosk (a 4×6 in print is the cheapest option), then cut along the lines. For online applications, upload the digital JPG instead.
