India passport photo size (35×45 mm)

Indian passport and PSK-style workflows usually describe the printed photograph in millimetres: 35 mm wide and 45 mm tall. That tall rectangle leaves room for the full face plus a modest margin above the hair—different from the square US layout you may have seen on Hollywood forms. When you move from a studio print to an online upload, the portal often asks for a JPEG with its own pixel width, height, and sometimes a maximum file size in kilobytes.

On this page we focus on the measurement side, not the appointment queue. The editor below starts from a 413×531 pixel export, a common digital companion when people approximate a 35×45 mm sheet at roughly 300 dots per inch. You still control the crop: drag a square region around your head, switch to custom pixels if your form spells out something different, and preview before you download.

Because Passport Seva and partner sites update their validators from time to time, please cross-check background colour, ear visibility, and any file-size caps on the exact service you are using. SmartFlexa never sees your bytes on a server for this tool—the canvas runs locally—so you can iterate quickly while reading the official checklist side by side.
