Stop guessing India passport photo specs
when consular rejections cost you repeat visits

Indian passport applications reject photos for subtle sizing errors — off-centre faces, wrong background tone, or low-resolution prints. Passprint encodes the rules your counter staff shouldn't have to memorise. Passprint automates the entire workflow from upload to print-ready sheet in just a few clicks.

Studio challenge

India 35×45 mm preset baked in

Face height, head position, and white background are applied automatically using the dimensions Indian passport offices expect — not generic international defaults.

Studio challenge

Counter-ready in under a minute

Process walk-in clients during peak hours without opening Photoshop. Upload, review the compliant preview, and print the A4 sheet while they wait.

Studio challenge

Fewer re-shoots and refunds

When sizing and framing are consistent, clients don't return the next day because a photo was rejected for head size or background colour.

India passport photo FAQ

India passport photo size & requirements

Indian passport photographs are 35 mm wide by 45 mm tall with a plain white background. Face height should occupy roughly 70–80% of the frame per Passport Seva guidance.

What is the correct India passport photo size?

Indian passport photos are 35 mm wide by 45 mm tall (3.5×4.5 cm) at 300 DPI — approximately 413×531 pixels. Passprint applies these dimensions with the face occupying the prescribed percentage of the frame.

What background colour is required for India passport photos?

A plain white background is standard for Indian passport photographs. Passprint removes busy backgrounds and replaces them with compliant white before export.

Can I print multiple India passport copies on one A4 sheet?

Yes. Passprint lays out multiple 35×45 mm copies on A4 with 2 mm spacing and trim guides so your studio printer produces clean cuts without wasted paper.

How long does it take to process one India passport photo?

AI processing runs in seconds. Most studios complete upload, review, and print-ready export in under a minute per client.

Do I need a professional camera for India passport photos?

No. A well-lit smartphone portrait works. Passprint normalises exposure, removes the background, and reframes the face to specification.
