Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Indian passport photo size?
Indian passport photos must be 51×51mm (2×2 inches) as per ICAO standards adopted by India in September 2021. This is a square format, the same size used by the US. Our tool automatically formats to this specification.
How much does a passport photo cost in India?
Photo studios typically charge ₹100-200 for passport photos. Mall photo booths cost ₹150-300. Using our service costs just ₹83 ($1) plus ₹10-20 for printing at any local shop.
Can I take my own passport photo for Indian passport?
Yes! The Ministry of External Affairs accepts self-taken photos as long as they meet official requirements (white background, 51×51mm dimensions, proper lighting, neutral expression). Our tool validates compliance automatically.
What background is required for Indian passport photos?
Indian passport photos require a plain white or light-colored background. Our AI automatically removes your background and replaces it with the correct white background.

Print your 4×6 sheet at any local print shop, photo studio, or stationery store. Most charge ₹10-20 for a 4×6 print. You can also print at chains like Kodak Express or local Xerox shops.

OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card photos require 51×51mm (2×2 inch) size with a plain white background—the same as Indian passport photos. Our tool has a specific OCI card option.
