Question 1

What file size does Passport Seva require?

Accepted Answer

Passport Seva requires JPEG photos between 10 KB and 250 KB. Most smartphone photos are 3–8 MB — 12 to 32 times larger than the limit. This tool compresses your photo to fit within the 250 KB limit while maintaining visual quality.

Question 2

Will compression make my photo blurry?

Accepted Answer

No. The tool uses intelligent JPEG quality reduction starting at 92% quality and only reducing further if needed. At 92% quality, the difference is invisible to the human eye. The side-by-side preview lets you verify before downloading.

Question 3

Does this also resize my photo to 630×810 pixels?

Accepted Answer

No. This tool only compresses file size — it does not change dimensions, crop, or remove the background. If you also need 630×810 pixel resizing, background removal, and compliance checking, use PhotoPass ($2.99) which handles everything automatically.

Question 4

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. All compression happens in your browser — your photo is never sent to any server. The only network requests this page makes are for the page itself and for analytics that record original/compressed sizes and quality (no image data).
