India Passport photo
Upload a photo and crop it to the exact India Passport size (51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 in)). FileTinker outputs it at 600 × 600 px and a true 300 DPI on a plain background — white by default, or any colour you pick — ready to print or upload. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

About India Passport photos
A India Passport photo must be 51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 in) with your face centred, a neutral expression and a plain light background. FileTinker crops to that exact ratio and exports at 600 × 600 px and 300 DPI so it prints at the right physical size.
Everything runs in your browser, so your photo stays private. If your country isn't listed, the main passport-photo tool covers more sizes — and you can always crop here, then print several copies on one 6 × 4 in photo at home or at a kiosk.
Indian passport applications use a square 51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 inch) photo with the face covering roughly three-quarters of the frame, against a plain white background. The same square format serves OCI and most India-related paperwork filed from abroad, and darker clothing photographs more cleanly against the white backdrop.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a India Passport photo?
A India Passport photo is 51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 in). FileTinker outputs it at exactly 600 × 600 pixels at 300 DPI, which is the print resolution most authorities and photo labs expect.
What background colour will it have?
White by default — or pick off-white, light grey, light blue or a custom colour. Click Remove background in the tool first (the colour fills transparent areas); or take the photo against a plain light wall and keep your head and shoulders inside the oval guide.
Can I print it or upload it?
Yes. The 600 × 600 px, 300 DPI JPEG is sized for both — print it at 51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 in), or upload it wherever a digital India Passport photo is required.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is cropped and resized entirely in your browser; it never leaves your device.
Is an Indian passport photo the same as a US one?
They share the square 2 × 2 inch (51 × 51 mm) size, so this page's output fits both dimensionally. Details differ — India expects a plain white background, while the US also accepts off-white — so double-check the checklist for the office you are filing with.
