Upload a photo and this turns green when your file is the right size and ready to download. We shrink quality (never pixels) until it fits the limit.

    Tip: Use the same photo for the online upload and the physical paper photos — 2×2″ for OCI / Visa, 35 × 45 mm for Passport / PCC / Surrender. Don't let a photo shop re-crop it — that changes the face % and is a common rejection.

    FAQs — VFS, OCI, Passport & Visa Photo Size

    What is the VFS photo size?

    There is no single VFS photo size — it changes by service: OCI is square up to 1500 × 1500 px / 500 KB, Indian Passport is 630 × 810 px / 250 KB, Indian Visa is square 350–1000 px / 10–300 KB. Choose your form above and the correct VFS Global photo size is applied for you.

    What is the OCI photo size in KB and pixels?

    OCI photo size is JPG, square 1:1, 200 × 200 to 1500 × 1500 pixels, maximum 500 KB, face 70–80%, light background. Older guides saying 200 KB or 900 px are outdated. OCI signature size is 1:3, up to 1500 × 500 px, also max 500 KB.

    What is the Indian passport photo size for VFS Australia?

    Digital: 630 × 810 px, JPEG, max 250 KB, white background, face 80–85%, unaltered (Passport Seva, May 2026). Physical: 2 physical paper photos at 35 × 45 mm — the latest VFS Australia checklists no longer ask for 2×2 inch physical paper photos for Passport.

    What is the India e-Visa photo size?

    JPEG, square, minimum 350 × 350 px, 10 KB to 1 MB, white background, no spectacles. Your passport bio page is a separate upload: PDF only, 10–300 KB — use the PDF tab with the 300 KB target.

    How do I resize a photo for OCI, Visa or Passport online for free?

    Tap “Fix my photo”, pick OCI / Passport / Visa / e-Visa, upload any phone photo, drag your face into the oval, and download. The tool crops to the exact pixels and compresses under the KB limit in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.

    Why was my VFS / OCI photo rejected?

    Common reasons: wrong pixels (rectangular instead of square for OCI), file over the KB limit, face too small (under 70% for OCI or under 80% for Passport), shadows on a non-white background, edited / filtered photo for Passport, or reusing a square OCI crop for the 630 × 810 px Passport form.

    What is the signature size for OCI and for Passport (GPSP)?

    OCI signature: 1:3 wide crop, 200 × 67 to 1500 × 500 px, max 500 KB. Passport / PCC / Surrender GPSP form signature: same 1:3 crop but the file must be under 100 KB. Use the Signature tab presets — there is one for each.

    How do I shrink my OCI PDF to 1 MB?

    OCI allows one PDF per category, max 1000 KB (1 MB). Re-scan in colour at 100 DPI, or drop your PDF into the PDF tab — it re-renders at 100 DPI (≈220 KB/page) and rebuilds it under the limit, keeping A4 page size.

    What photo do I need for my VFS appointment?

    Bring the same photo you uploaded as a physical paper photo in your checklist size — 2 × 2 inch for OCI & regular Visa, 35 × 45 mm for Passport, PCC & Surrender. Mismatched physical paper photos are a common reason centres ask you to retake photos on the day (for a fee).

    How do I book a VFS appointment or track my VFS application?

    Book and track only on the official VFS Global site for your country pair, with your application reference number. This tool can't book or track for you — what it does is fix the photo, signature & PDF before your appointment so you don't get turned away for a file-size rejection.

    What is the photo size for OCI renewal, OCI miscellaneous & a minor / baby OCI?

    Exactly the same as a fresh OCI: square JPG, 200 × 200 to 1500 × 1500 px, max 500 KB, face 70–80%. If a minor can't sign, upload a thumb impression in the 1:3 signature frame instead (Signature tab → Thumb impression).

    Schengen, UK, US & Canada visa photo size — what's the difference?

    Schengen: 35 × 45 mm physical paper photo, face 70–80%. UK: digital min 600 × 750 px, 50 KB – 6 MB. US: 2 × 2 inch, 600 × 600 px digital. Canada: 35 × 45 mm. Use the Schengen / UK presets above, or the 2 × 2 inch preset for US & OCI.

    What is a passport-size photo in mm, cm, inches & pixels?

    35 × 45 mm = 3.5 × 4.5 cm = 1.38 × 1.77 inch = 413 × 531 px at 300 DPI. 2 × 2 inch = 51 × 51 mm = 5.1 × 5.1 cm = 600 × 600 px at 300 DPI. Digital portal sizes are different again — OCI up to 1500 × 1500 px, Passport exactly 630 × 810 px.
