India e-Visa Photo
e-Visa photos go through the portal at indianvisaonline.gov.in, a different channel from the regular online visa form. Published secondary sources disagree about the portal's file-size cap, and we will not print a number we have not verified on the official instructions page.
What you can do now: crop a clean square photo with the plain-background preset above, read the exact limit on your portal screen, and compress to precisely that limit with the exact-KB compressor.

Everything runs in your browser — your photo is never uploaded to a server. Face the camera, use even lighting, and (for passports and visas) shoot against a plain, light wall.
Choose document, size & background
e-Visa photos are uploaded through indianvisaonline.gov.in. Follow the file limits shown on the portal itself — published secondary sources disagree on the cap, so this preset does not hard-code one. Use the exact-KB compressor with the limit your form displays.
Official specification
| Where it is used | Uploaded on the official e-Visa portal, indianvisaonline.gov.in |
| Shape | Square, full face, plain light background (same composition family as the online visa application) |
| File limit | Not stated here on purpose: secondary sources disagree (300 KB vs 1 MB). Use the limit shown on your portal screen — the compressor below the maker takes any target. |
| Source note | Route verified 2026-10-18; portal file limit pending direct verification on the official e-Visa instructions page |
We publish only values we verified on the official source named above. Final acceptance is always decided by the issuing authority — check your application instructions before submitting.
Why we do not print an e-Visa KB limit
Two different caps (300 KB and 1 MB) circulate for the e-Visa upload, attached to different channels and different years. Printing the wrong one as "official" is how applicants end up re-uploading at midnight. Our specification pages only carry numbers we opened and read on an official page; the e-Visa cap is on our verification list, and this page will be updated when it is confirmed.

Frequently asked questions
What photo does the Indian e-Visa need?
A square, full-face photo on a plain light background, uploaded through indianvisaonline.gov.in. Check the file-size limit on the portal screen itself and compress to exactly that limit.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping, resizing, compression and (where offered) background replacement all run locally in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device.
