Create Your Visa Photo NowIndia is strict about face coverage. Too much headroom or too much chin space causes rejection.
India requires pure white background only — cream or off-white shades are not accepted.
Any type of eyewear including transition lenses is not allowed.
The India e-Visa portal rejects files over 1MB. Compress your JPEG before uploading.
Unlike the US, India requires bright white — not off-white. Use a white wall or a white sheet in good lighting.
Center your face with minimal background above your head. Your face should fill ~80% of the frame.
Avoid shadows on face or background. Natural window light works well.
We handle cropping, resizing, and background enhancement automatically.
