India e-Visa Photo

JPEG format, square (equal height and width), 10KB–1MB on the official e-Visa page. The photo must be frontal, eyes open, without glasses, on a plain white or light-colored background, with no shadows or borders. This app helps prepare photos following these guidelines. Always check the current form before uploading.

Simply photograph your passport bio page with your camera, or import an existing photo of it. The app helps convert it to a PDF and compress it to under 300KB while keeping text legible for you to review before saving.

No. All processing happens entirely on your iPhone. Face detection, background correction, PDF generation — everything runs on-device. Your photos are never sent to any server.

This app supports common e-Visa file preparation (face photo JPEG and passport Bio Page PDF) across e-Visa categories including e-Tourist, e-Business, e-Medical, e-Student, and more. For e-Business, e-Medical, e-Student etc., additional documents (business cards, hospital letters, admission letters) may be required. This app does not handle additional documents or the visa application itself.

No. This app is a file preparation tool only. You need to submit your visa application yourself at the official website (indianvisaonline.gov.in). It does not guarantee visa acceptance or approval.

Application timing and visa categories vary. Please check the official e-Visa website (indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa) for the latest information on application windows and passport validity requirements.

The official e-Visa page requires a square JPEG (equal height and width), 10KB–1MB. The India Visa Online photo upload guidance (used for regular visa) indicates 350×350 to 1000×1000 pixels as a compatible range. This app outputs square JPEG and can adjust within this pixel range.

No, wearing glasses (including sunglasses) is not allowed for e-Visa photos. Please remove glasses before taking the photo, even for vision correction.

Photos must be taken within the last 6 months. Using an older photo may result in rejection. This app recommends taking a new photo.

A plain white or light-colored background is required. Shadows, patterns, or dark backgrounds may cause rejection. Please take the photo against a plain white or light-colored wall. This app focuses on face positioning, square cropping, and file size adjustment rather than background adjustment.

Common reasons include: wrong size (not square), non-white background, wearing glasses, shadows, old photo, face too small/large. This app detects and warns about these issues.

PDF format, 10KB–300KB required. All text including name, passport number, MRZ (machine-readable zone), issue/expiry dates, and photo must be clearly readable. All four corners must be visible. This app compresses to under 300KB while maintaining readability. Check text legibility after compression; if text is blurry, re-shoot in brighter conditions.
