Processed on your device. Your photo is never uploaded.
Upload a photo to see the compliance checklist.
India Passport (ICAO 2026) specs are sourced from official notifications and may change. Always confirm against your portal before submitting. PhotoFix does not guarantee acceptance — we build to published requirements.
Document photo rules look similar across portals but differ in pixels, KB, and background. Always read the current notification instead of copying last year's file. When a form rejects an upload, note the exact error text — "invalid dimensions" and "file too large" need different fixes. PhotoFix presets encode the published spec so you do not have to memorize each exam.
Before final submit, compare your export against the checklist: correct JPG, dimensions within range, KB inside the window, plain background, and face proportion where applicable. Keeping the original photo lets you re-export if a portal updates limits mid-cycle.
