India e-Visa Photo — 10 KB–1 MB, Make It in Seconds

The rules in plain words

• JPEG between 10 KB and 1 MB.
• Height and width must be equal (square).
• Full face, front view, eyes open, without spectacles.
• Head centred, showing the full head from top of hair to bottom of chin.
• Plain light-coloured or white background with no shadows on the face or background, and no border.

1. 1Stand about half a metre in front of a plain light-coloured or white wall. Distance from the wall stops shadows behind your head.
2. 2Face a window or soft light so both sides of your face are evenly lit — no harsh overhead light.
3. 3Ask someone to hold the camera at your eye level, 1–1.5 m away. Selfies at arm's length make noses look bigger and get rejected.
4. 4Look straight at the lens with a neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open, hair away from your eyes.
5. 5Drop the photo here and download the result — it is ready to upload.
