India e-Visa photo: the rules
The photo must be a square JPEG between 10 KB and 1 MB, and the scan of your passport’s photo page a PDF between 10 and 300 KB. FileFleet saves the photo at 1200 × 1200 pixels.
| Upload | Format | Pixels | File size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photo | JPG, square | Not set | 10 KB to 1 MB |
| Passport bio page | Not set | 10 KB to 300 KB |
Passport bio page: use Compress PDF to 200 KB if the PDF is too big.
What FileFleet can’t fix, so get it right when you take the photo
- A plain white or light-coloured background.
- No shadows on the face or the background.

Common reasons it gets rejected
- Not square: the height and width must be equal.
- Shadows on the face or the background, or a dark or busy background.
- A passport scan saved as a photo instead of a PDF, or a PDF over 300 KB.
FileFleet fixes the type, pixel size and file size. Lighting, background and expression have to be right when you take the photo.

Questions
Do my files get uploaded?
No. FileFleet runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device. Close the tab and they're gone.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no daily limits and no watermark on your files.
How do I make the passport page PDF?
Scan or photograph your passport’s photo page and save it as a PDF of 10–300 KB. If it’s too big, Compress PDF to 200 KB brings it under the limit.
