India has three different photo specifications for three different documents — and confusing them is the single most common reason applications get delayed. The Indian passport uses a 35×45mm rectangular format (630×810 pixels) for the Passport Seva portal. The OCI card uses a completely different 51×51mm square format. And the Indian e-Visa has its own dimensions (350×350 pixels). A photo made for one will be rejected by the other.

What Makes This Specification Unique

Three different photo specs: Passport (35×45mm), OCI (51×51mm square), e-Visa (350×350px)

Glasses effectively banned since September 2025 ICAO enforcement

Face coverage increased from 70-80% to 80-85% under new ICAO rules

Passport Seva portal (GPSP 2.0) checks for AI-generated backgrounds and beauty filters

Mobile browser uploads cause specific error codes — always upload from desktop

File must be exactly 630×810 pixels — not a common camera output size

Recent Changes

September 2025: ICAO enforcement begins — glasses effectively banned, face coverage increased to 80-85%. February 2026: Passport Seva Program 2.0 (GPSP 2.0) launched with enhanced digital checks.

Common Rejection Reasons

Wrong dimensions — used OCI square format instead of passport rectangular

File size over 250 KB (common with modern phone cameras)

Glasses worn (banned since Sept 2025)

Non-white background

Uploaded from mobile browser (causes portal errors)

AI-edited background detected by GPSP 2.0

ExactPix Tool Rules for This Spec

When you use the ExactPix tool on this page, it's pre-configured with these rules:

This is the INDIAN PASSPORT spec (35×45mm rectangular) — NOT the OCI spec (51×51mm square)

Glasses banned since September 2025

File must be under 250 KB — phone cameras produce 3-8 MB files

Upload from desktop, not mobile browser — Passport Seva portal has mobile upload issues

Where to Get This Photo

Most photo studios in India default to 35×45mm. When renewing from the US via VFS Global, you need both a digital file (630×810px for Passport Seva) AND physical prints (35×45mm for the VFS packet). One photo gets pasted on the Affidavit of Change of Appearance form.
