This page covers the photo prepared for a regular or consular Indian visa application. The standard format is a 51×51mm (2×2 inch) square colour photo, but the final authority is the current checklist issued by the Indian mission or application centre handling your case.

Do not reuse an Indian passport upload: the Passport Seva file is a 630×810-pixel rectangle, while the visa photo is square. If you are applying entirely online for an Indian e-Visa, use the separate India e-Visa photo guide; that workflow requires a JPEG upload between 10 KB and 1 MB rather than a printed consular photo.

PhotoPass can prepare a square 51×51mm output, but you should confirm the number of prints, paper, and any centre-specific instructions on your application checklist before submitting.
