Photo requirements

Size and format: Square digital image. Regular online visa and e-Visa have different file-size limits; do not assume every upload requires 2×2-inch prints.
Background: Plain light-coloured or white
Head / face proportions: Entire head centred from hair to chin; regular visa guidance gives 25–35 mm head height where applicable

Before you apply

Regular online visa: JPEG, 10–300 KB, square image
e-Visa: JPEG, 10 KB–1 MB, square image; without spectacles
Full frontal face and open eyes; avoid shadows
Select your exact regular visa or e-Visa workflow before exporting

Although 2×2 inches is a common search phrase, India's online systems specify square digital photos and differing limits. This page does not promise that 2×2 inch prints satisfy every application.

Frequently asked questions

Does the same photo size mean the same requirements?

No. The background, framing, editing limits and upload format can differ between a passport, a visa and an online application.

Can I change the background using software?

Only when your document's policy permits it. Do not digitally edit a Dutch or UK passport photograph. Take a new photo against a suitable real background instead.

Is my photo guaranteed to be accepted?

No. These guides are informational and automated checks cannot replace the final decision of the government or visa centre.
