How to make an Indian passport photo
- Choose your photo in the tool above: front-facing, even light, no glasses glare.
- Check the framing. Your head (chin to top) should be 25–35 mm; the tool frames it for you and shows a green tick.
- Download the 600 × 600 pixel photo, or a 4 × 6 inch sheet of six photos to print.
